checks.yaml · Holdpoint Live
Keep agents from calling work done too early.
Holdpoint enforces deterministic checks and human-readable prompt gates before any AI coding agent marks a task done. Every agent, one repo-owned contract.
- checks.yaml stays in the repo
- completion is blocked until checks pass
- prompt checks surface exactly when they matter
Install command
Choose all agents for the platform installer. Single-agent installs use npx and are the same on every platform.$ curl -fsSL https://holdpoint.dev/install.sh | shNode.js 18+, a git repository, and a supported agent required.
How it works
One config file.
Clear stop points.
The repo keeps the rules. The adapters enforce them at completion time. The Live view makes the hidden agent handoff inspectable without turning the product into dashboard clutter.
- 01
Write the contract
Define deterministic commands and manual prompt checks once in checks.yaml. The file becomes the completion contract for every agent in the repo.
- 02
Install the adapters
Holdpoint installs a gated default checks.yaml and writes hooks for Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex without changing your app runtime.
- 03
Gate the handoff
When the agent tries to finish, Holdpoint runs matching checks, prints required prompt instructions, and blocks incomplete work.
Now shipping
Holdpoint Live makes agent work visible.
The recent work is focused on local visibility: daemon boot, project-first sessions, conflict warnings, Copilot controls where available, and adapter discovery for extension points.
Local daemon
A browser UI that opens from the CLI.
Holdpoint Live belongs to the repo you are working in, not a remote dashboard that mixes unrelated projects.
Project-first timeline
One project, many active sessions.
See active sessions, check runs, approvals, and file activity side by side while keeping the current repo in focus.
Conflict warnings
Same-file overlap shows up early.
When two sessions touch the same path, Holdpoint makes that visible before the edits turn into a messy merge.
Copilot controls + SDK
Control where it exists, extend where you need it.
Copilot sessions can expose pending approvals and context injection, while adapter hooks keep the door open for third-party integrations.
Supported agents
One contract,
four adapters.
Holdpoint installs every adapter by default so the same repo rules can follow whichever tool your team is using.
