const GUIDE: &str = r#"CONFIGURING A REPOSITORY — git-agent-verdict
1. .githooks/commit-msg, tracked:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
git agent-verdict --require-version {{line}}
git agent-verdict "$1" core --model opus \
--standard programming --standard testing --path .
git agent-verdict "$1" repo --model opus \

chmod +x .githooks/commit-msg
- Line order is review order. Gate names are chosen by you and become the trailer key Reviewed-<name>.
- A gate needs one --standard, --doc or --rule, and takes any mix.
- --simple removes the MAJOR severity: reports, never blocks.
- --read-only refuses the reviewer every write, at the harness. For a tree someone else is
working in, or or a reviewer that must not write.
- --model is passed through unchecked. If omitted, the agent selects one.
- --override-prompt <path> replaces the reviewer's standing instructions for that gate.
- A reviewer runs headless and cannot answer a prompt, so it is given no chance to ask: anything
your agent settings would have prompted for is refused instead. Pre-approve what a review
needs there; this tool never widens it.
- --path is a git pathspec, matching at any depth.
- --doc paths are placeholders here; one that does not resolve is refused.
- Environment variables expand, so a criteria file may live outside the repository, where nothing can stage it.
- Staging a criteria file is refused. Commit it separately with --no-verify.
- --standards lists what this build ships; --standards <name> prints one.
- --rule takes multi-line text, so `--rule "$(generate-rubric)"` works. Past the 128 KiB argv
cap, pipe it: `generate-rubric | git agent-verdict "$1" gen --rule - --path .`
2. Per clone, by hand:
git config core.hooksPath .githooks
3. Per host. No default: unset, attest refuses.
git config --global agent-verdict.runner claude
4. Commit through the tool:
git agent-verdict attest --repo /abs/path/to/this/repo \
--intent "<intent: one line>"
- One run reviews every gate in declaration order, stopping at the first MAJOR.
- `git agent-verdict commit --repo <root>` creates the commit once every gate has passed.
- The message is composed from --intent; nothing is emitted for the caller to paste.
- --repo is absolute; the shell's directory is never consulted.
- Addressing a review's findings re-opens its gate. Run it again after each fix.
- --intent is needed on the first run only.
- attest starts the review and returns. `await --repo <root>`, then `commit --repo <root>`.
- `abort --repo <root>` if you need to stop one; verdicts already recorded are kept.
- No wait loop. A second attest reports the review already running instead of starting another."#;
