-**AI coding agents repeat mistakes — and one wrong tool call can wipe a directory, leak a key, or push broken code.**
+**Your AI coding bill has a leak.**
 
-ThumbGate is the local-first firewall for AI coding agents. It runs in the PreToolUse hook on your machine and blocks dangerous tool calls — `rm -rf`, secret exfiltration, off-scope edits, a bad `git push` — before they execute, across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Amp, Cline, and OpenCode. No server, no gateway. (Regulated-industry policy templates — legal intake, financial compliance, healthcare — build on the same engine.)
+**Stop paying for the same AI mistake twice.**
 
-The product is a self-improving enforcement layer: thumbs-down feedback, prompt evaluation, and proof from prior runs become prevention rules that permanently stop repeated failures before the next tool call.
+Every retry loop, every hallucinated import, every *"let me try a different approach"* — those are billable tokens on every LLM vendor's bill. Thumbs-down once; ThumbGate blocks that exact mistake on every future call. Across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Amp, Cline, OpenCode — any MCP-compatible agent, forever.

+Under the hood: your thumbs-down becomes one of your **Pre-Action Checks** that physically blocks the pattern **permanently** on every future call — across every session, every model, every agent. It is **self-improving agent governance**: every correction promotes a fresh prevention rule, and your library of prevention rules grows stronger with every lesson. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Amp, Cline, OpenCode, and any MCP-compatible agent. The monthly Anthropic / OpenAI bill stops paying for the same lesson over and over — local-first enforcement, zero tokens spent on repeats.

-## Agentic development cycle fit
-
-Agentic development is becoming a loop: **Guide → Generate → Verify → Solve**. ThumbGate gives that loop a hard execution boundary.
-
-- **Guide:** standards, prior thumbs-downs, and approval policies become concrete context.
-- **Generate:** Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Amp, Cline, OpenCode, and MCP agents keep producing plans and tool calls.
-- **Verify:** risky actions need evidence before execution, not just after PR review.
-- **Solve:** blocked failures become reusable lessons, shared prevention rules, DPO exports, and audit events.
-
-In that stack, ThumbGate is the pre-action gate between generated intent and executed action.

-## Discoverable slash-commands — the guardrail layer for spec-driven agents
-
-Spec-driven agent frameworks like **GSD** (get-shit-done) and **GitHub Spec Kit** are great at *planning and generating* work — they expose dozens of discoverable `/gsd-*` / `/specify` commands in the agent command palette. ThumbGate is the **guardrail layer for spec-driven agents**: it sits *after* the plan, on the boundary between a generated tool call and its execution. It works **alongside GSD / Spec-Kit, not instead of them** — they decide *what* to build; ThumbGate enforces *what the agent must never do while building it*.
-
-`npx thumbgate init` installs these commands into your agent's palette (`.claude/commands/`, `.gemini/commands/`, `.antigravitycli/commands/`) so the enforcement layer is as browsable as the planning layer:
-
-| Command | What it does | Wraps (existing capability) |
-|---------|--------------|------------------------------|
-| `/thumbgate-guard` | Turn the last agent mistake into a hard prevention rule | `capture_feedback` + `thumbgate force-gate` |
-| `/thumbgate-rules` | List the active prevention rules + lessons guarding this repo | `prevention_rules`, `get_reliability_rules`, `search_lessons` |
-| `/thumbgate-blocked` | Show what's actually been blocked — gate stats + enforcement matrix | `gate_stats`, `enforcement_matrix` |
-| `/thumbgate-protect` | Show branch/release governance; grant a scoped, expiring approval | `get_branch_governance`, `approve_protected_action` |
-| `/thumbgate-doctor` | Health-check the wiring (hooks, MCP, agent-readiness) | `thumbgate doctor` |
-
-Each is a thin wrapper over an existing MCP tool or CLI command — **no new enforcement logic, just discoverability**.

-## 🧠 The Context Brain
-
-Every coding agent starts each session amnesiac — it has no memory of the mistakes it made yesterday, the fixes your team already rejected, or the rules this repo enforces. So it repeats them, and you pay for it again.
-
-ThumbGate gives your repo a **context brain**: a single, versioned, agent-readable artifact that consolidates everything the agent should know *before it acts* — the lessons it has learned, the guardrails it must not cross, the gates that are enforced, and the project's own instruction files.
-
-```bash
-npx thumbgate brain --write     # → .thumbgate/BRAIN.md
-```
-
-Then point your agent at it — add `Read .thumbgate/BRAIN.md first` to your `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md`, and every Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Gemini CLI session boots with your repo's institutional memory already loaded. The output is **deterministic**, so `BRAIN.md` lives in git and only changes when the underlying memory does — review it like any other file.
-
-```
-# ThumbGate Context Brain
-## What this codebase taught its agents (lessons)
-- ⛔ Force-pushing to main was rejected — use --force-with-lease on feature branches only
-## Guardrails — do NOT repeat these (prevention rules)
-- Never run DROP on production tables
-## Active enforcement (gates)
-- `DROP.*production` → block
-```
-
-Same idea the SEO world is now calling a *"client brain"* — persistent context that AI reads before doing the work — applied to **engineering**: the institutional memory that stops your coding agent from relearning the same lesson on your dime.

 Prompt engineering still matters, but it is only the starting point. ThumbGate adds prompt evaluation on top: proof lanes, benchmarks, and self-heal checks tell you whether your prompt and workflow actually held up under execution instead of leaving you to guess from vibes. Run `npx thumbgate eval --from-feedback --write-report=.thumbgate/prompt-eval-proof.md` to turn real thumbs-up/down feedback into reusable eval cases and a buyer-ready proof report.
 
-### Retrieval & latency: local-first, zero network hops
-
-ThumbGate's latency advantage is structural, not a tuned cloud cluster: there is no retrieval service and no model on the enforcement path, so the gate decision never leaves your machine.
-
-```mermaid
-flowchart LR
-    A["Agent about to run<br/>a tool call"] --> B{"Literal / AST match<br/>on an active rule?"}
-    B -- "exact match" --> D["Deterministic gate decision<br/>(no model, on-device)"]
-    B -- "no exact match, but<br/>semantically near a<br/>blocked pattern" --> C["Local CPU embeddings<br/>bge-small via LanceDB<br/>(no external API)"]
-    C --> D
-    D -- "known-bad" --> E["⛔ BLOCK before execution"]
-    D -- "safe" --> F["✓ Allow"]
-```
-
-- **Deterministic first.** Most decisions are a literal or AST pattern match against your active rules — sub-millisecond, on-device, no embeddings.
-- **Local semantic fallback.** When an action isn't on the literal block list but is semantically near one you've blocked before, ThumbGate searches the rule corpus with CPU-only `bge-small` embeddings via LanceDB — still local, still no external API call.
-- **No LLM on the enforcement path.** The gate never calls a model to decide block/allow. Thompson Sampling only tunes soft-rule confidence weights; hard rules always fire deterministically (see Layer 2).
-
-The fastest network round-trip is the one you never make: enforcement is fully local, so it adds negligible latency to the agent loop — no cloud retrieval, no inference hop, no data leaving the machine.

-### Install scope: machine-wide vs per-project
-
-ThumbGate supports two install scopes. Pick once when you install — you can switch later by re-running with the other flag.
-
-| Scope | Command | Settings file | Lesson DB + dashboard live in | When to use |
-|-------|---------|---------------|--------------------------------|-------------|
-| **Machine-wide** (default) | `npx thumbgate init` | `~/.claude/settings.json` | `~/.claude/memory/feedback/` | Solo dev — **one shared dashboard across every repo on this machine**. A lesson learned in `repo-A` blocks the same mistake in `repo-B` automatically. |
-| **Per-project** | `npx thumbgate init --project` (in the repo root) | `<repo>/.claude/settings.json` | `<repo>/.claude/memory/feedback/` | Client work, compliance, or multi-tenant — **separate dashboard per repo**, lessons stay isolated, audit trail belongs to the repo. |
-
-Both scopes write `mcpServers.thumbgate` + the PreToolUse / UserPromptSubmit / PostToolUse / SessionStart hooks; the only difference is *where*. Machine-wide is the right default for most developers. Switch to `--project` only when you have a reason to keep lessons from bleeding between repos.
-
-> Per-project lesson DBs live under each repo's `.claude/memory/feedback/` and **must stay gitignored** — they're a runtime store, not source. ThumbGate's bundled `.gitignore` template handles this.

-### Recovery if a gate over-fires
-
-ThumbGate should block repeated unsafe actions, not trap the operator. If a noisy rule or stale memory pattern blocks the hook/settings change you need to recover, open a short-lived break-glass window:
-
-```bash
-npx thumbgate break-glass --reason="ThumbGate over-fired and blocked operator recovery"
-```
-
-What this unlocks for up to 5 minutes:
-
-- Edits to `.claude/settings.local.json`, `.claude/settings.json`, `.codex/config.toml`, and the same files inside nested workspaces.
-- The short-lived proof gates used for PR recovery: `pr_create_allowed` and `pr_threads_checked`.
-
-What stays gated:
-
-- Force pushes, protected-branch pushes, broad `rm -rf`, unsafe `chmod`, package publishes/releases, and local-only remote side effects.
-- Arbitrary protected files such as `README.md`, `AGENTS.md`, policy bundles, or credentials.
-
-Verify the recovery window and runtime health before continuing:
-
-```bash
-npx thumbgate break-glass --reason="verify recovery path" --json
-npx thumbgate doctor
-```
-
-If you change MCP or hook settings, restart the affected agent session so Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or another runtime reloads `.mcp.json` and local settings.

-## Enterprise Data Chat and Optional Google Adapters
-
-The Enterprise dashboard chat is local/open-source first: it answers over local ThumbGate data using lesson retrieval, LanceDB-backed vectors, and your configured LLM. Set `THUMBGATE_LOCAL_LLM_ENDPOINT` to an OpenAI-compatible local endpoint (Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, LM Studio, etc.) when you want generated answers without sending dashboard data to Google.
-
-Google Cloud is an optional regulated-enterprise adapter, not a dashboard chatbot requirement. If a buyer already standardizes on Vertex AI or Dialogflow CX, ThumbGate can verify that posture and deploy guard adapters in their tenancy.
-
-### Optional Vertex Setup
-To wire local ThumbGate scoring to Vertex AI, run:
-```bash
-npx thumbgate setup-vertex
-```
-* **Auto-Discovery:** Automatically detects your active authenticated `gcloud` session and active project ID.
-* **Auto-Enablement:** Programmatically enables the Vertex AI API in your project.
-* **Auto-Configuration:** Writes local Vertex routing settings to your `.env` file.
-
-This command does **not** create or verify a live Dialogflow CX agent. Dialogflow is only relevant when a customer wants ThumbGate guard adapters in front of their own production DFCX agents. On current Google Cloud CLI installs, the old alpha gcloud CX command group is not available; verify Conversational Agents / Dialogflow CX with the Google Cloud console or the official Dialogflow CX REST API (`projects.locations.agents`) before claiming a live DFCX deployment.
-
-### Zero-Friction Cost Containment ($10/mo Hard Cap)
-Google Cloud budget alerts are "alert-only" and do not stop API traffic, risking unexpected bill shock. ThumbGate completely resolves this on the client side:
-* **Instant Shutdown:** ThumbGate maintains a lightweight, local token ledger and instantly halts outgoing API traffic the millisecond your monthly token spending approaches the **$10 limit** (500k tokens of Gemini 1.5 Flash).
-* **Bypasses extra shutdown plumbing:** Requires no Pub/Sub or Cloud Functions for the local ThumbGate-side stop condition. You still need normal Google Cloud billing/API setup and live-agent verification for DFCX pilots.
