+<h2>Why ThumbGate Wins</h2>
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>Enforcement, not suggestions.</strong> Prompt rules in CLAUDE.md or .cursorrules are instructions the agent can ignore. ThumbGate intercepts tool calls at the PreToolUse hook level and physically blocks dangerous actions before they execute.</li>
+  <li><strong>Learns and adapts automatically.</strong> Every thumbs-down becomes a data point. After repeated failures with the same pattern, ThumbGate auto-generates a prevention rule. Gates adapt their sensitivity over time using Thompson Sampling -- aggressive gates that over-block get tuned down, effective gates get reinforced.</li>
+  <li><strong>Works across all major AI coding agents.</strong> One install command covers Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Amp, and OpenCode. No per-agent configuration needed.</li>
+  <li><strong>Prevention is cheaper than recovery.</strong> Manual code review catches mistakes after the PR. Git revert catches them after the push. ThumbGate catches them before the tool call executes -- saving the time, context switches, and cleanup cost of undoing damage.</li>
+</ul>

+    <h3>Gate</h3>
+    <p>Every tool call your agent makes passes through a pre-action gate. Known-bad patterns are blocked before execution. Good actions pass through instantly.</p>

+    <h3>Learn</h3>
+    <p>When your agent makes a mistake, give it a thumbs-down. In the current Claude auto-capture path, vague negative signals can reuse up to 8 prior recorded entries plus the failed tool call, then stay linked to a 60-second follow-up session before repeated failures harden into prevention rules.</p>

+<h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
+
+<div class="card">
+  <h3>What is a pre-action gate?</h3>
+  <p>A pre-action gate is an enforcement layer that intercepts AI agent tool calls before they execute. Unlike prompt rules that agents can ignore, pre-action gates physically block dangerous actions such as force-pushing to main, deleting production files, or committing code with failing tests.</p>
+</div>
+
+<div class="card">
+  <h3>Does ThumbGate work with Claude Code?</h3>
+  <p>Yes. ThumbGate works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Amp, OpenCode, and any MCP-compatible agent. Run <code>npx thumbgate init --agent claude-code</code> to auto-configure PreToolUse hooks.</p>
+</div>
+
+<div class="card">
+  <h3>Is ThumbGate free?</h3>
+  <p>ThumbGate has a free tier that includes local enforcement with 3 daily feedback captures, 5 lesson searches, unlimited recall, and pre-action gate blocking. Pro ($19/mo or $149/yr) adds a personal local dashboard and DPO export. Team rollout ($99/seat/mo) adds a shared lesson database and org dashboard.</p>
+</div>
+
+<div class="card">
+  <h3>How is ThumbGate different from .cursorrules or CLAUDE.md rules?</h3>
+  <p>Cursor rules and CLAUDE.md are prompt-level instructions that the AI agent can read, forget, or override. ThumbGate enforces rules at the tool-call level via PreToolUse hooks. When a tool call matches a known failure pattern, it is physically blocked before execution. Additionally, ThumbGate auto-generates prevention rules from feedback -- no manual rule writing.</p>
+</div>
+
+<div class="card">
+  <h3>Can ThumbGate learn from mistakes automatically?</h3>
+  <p>Yes. When your AI agent makes a mistake, give a thumbs-down with context. In the current Claude auto-capture path, vague negative signals can reuse up to 8 prior recorded entries plus the failed tool call, then stay linked to a 60-second follow-up session. After repeated failures with the same pattern, ThumbGate auto-generates a prevention rule and wires it as a pre-action gate. Gates adapt over time using Thompson Sampling, a Bayesian multi-armed bandit algorithm.</p>
