<h1>GRIP</h1>
<p class="tagline">Guarded Response Interception Protocol &mdash; Recursive Self-Improvement Engine for Claude Code</p>
<div class="card card-accent">
<p style="font-size: 0.9rem;">
GRIP transforms Claude Code into a <strong>persistent AI collaborator</strong> with session memory,
mechanical safety gates, recursive self-improvement, and 161 pre-built skills.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 0.85rem; color: var(--muted); margin-top: 0.5rem;">
It is not a framework you import. It is infrastructure that installs into <code>~/.claude/</code>
and makes every Claude Code session smarter, safer, and more efficient.
</p>

<h2>What You Get</h2>
<div class="what-grid">
<div class="what-item">
<strong>Session Resurrection</strong><br>
Memory across sessions via serialisation. No more "starting from scratch".
</div>
<div class="what-item">
<strong>Safety Gates</strong><br>
Mechanical enforcement (not guidelines). PreToolUse hooks that cannot be overridden.
</div>
<div class="what-item">
<strong>Converge Kernel</strong><br>
<code>converge(state, criterion, improve)</code> &mdash; 3 parameters, fractal depth.
</div>
<div class="what-item">
<strong>Genome Evolution</strong><br>
Skills compete, mutate, breed. Fitness selection drives improvement.
</div>
<div class="what-item">
<strong>Efficiency Protocols</strong><br>
30-35% context budget savings. File read caching, dependency blocking.
</div>
<div class="what-item">
<strong>RSI Engine</strong><br>
Recursive self-improvement with Fibonacci wave protocol and delight tracking.
</div>
</div>
<h2>Request Access</h2>
<div class="card card-accent">
<p style="font-size: 0.85rem;">
GRIP is currently in <strong>private evaluation</strong>. To get access:
</p>
<ol style="font-size: 0.85rem; margin: 0.8rem 0 0 1.2rem; color: var(--muted);">
<li>Send your <strong>GitHub username</strong> to Laurie (Guild signatory #12)</li>
<li>You will be added as a collaborator on <code>CodeTonight-SA/GRIP</code></li>
<li>Accept the GitHub invitation and proceed with Step 1 below</li>
</ol>
<p style="font-size: 0.8rem; color: var(--muted); margin-top: 0.5rem;">
Turnaround: same day. Access grants read + clone rights.
</p>
</div>
<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
<ul class="prereq">
<li><a href="https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/overview">Claude Code</a> installed and authenticated (<code>claude</code> in your terminal)</li>
<li>Git 2.20+ with <code>git-crypt</code> (optional, for encrypted state)</li>
<li>macOS, Linux, or Windows with Git Bash</li>
</ul>
<h2>Get Started (3 Steps)</h2>
<div class="card">
<div class="step-title"><span class="step-num">1</span>Clone GRIP</div>
<p style="font-size: 0.85rem; margin-bottom: 0.5rem;">Choose your isolation level:</p>
<div class="isolation-grid">
<div class="iso-card">
<h3>Personal (Default)</h3>
<p>GRIP installs to your <code>~/.claude/</code>. Your personal Claude Code becomes GRIP-powered.</p>
<pre>git clone https://github.com/CodeTonight-SA/GRIP.git ~/.claude
cd ~/.claude
./scripts/grip-setup.sh</pre>
</div>
<div class="iso-card">
<h3>Organisation</h3>
<p>Fork GRIP into your org. Team members clone from the fork. Shared genome, independent sessions.</p>
<pre># Fork CodeTonight-SA/GRIP on GitHub first
git clone https://github.com/YOUR-ORG/GRIP.git ~/.claude
cd ~/.claude
./scripts/grip-setup.sh</pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card">
<div class="step-title"><span class="step-num">2</span>Activate</div>
<p style="font-size: 0.85rem;">Open Claude Code in any project and run:</p>
<pre>claude
# Then inside Claude Code:
/activate-grip</pre>
<p style="font-size: 0.8rem; color: var(--muted);">
The wizard configures your identity, safety gates, and initial mode.
Takes about 2 minutes.
</p>
</div>
<div class="card">
<div class="step-title"><span class="step-num">3</span>Use</div>
<p style="font-size: 0.85rem;">GRIP is now active in every Claude Code session. Try:</p>
<pre>/recall # Recall your session state
/mode code # Switch to code mode
/converge # Start a convergence loop
/rsi # Launch recursive self-improvement
/create-pr # Automated PR workflow</pre>
</div>
<h2>How Isolation Works</h2>
<div class="card">
<p style="font-size: 0.85rem;">
<strong>Personal isolation</strong>: Your <code>~/.claude/</code> IS the GRIP repo. Sessions store state in
<code>state/</code>, learning in <code>learning/</code>, and genome in <code>cache/</code>. Everything stays local.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 0.85rem; margin-top: 0.8rem;">
<strong>Organisation isolation</strong>: Fork the repo. Team members clone from the fork.
The genome (<code>cache/genome.json</code>) is shared via git, so team learning compounds.
Individual session state stays per-user (gitignored). Encrypted state uses <code>git-crypt</code>
so credentials never leave the machine.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 0.85rem; margin-top: 0.8rem;">
<strong>Evaluation mode</strong>: Just clone and run. No API keys needed beyond your existing Claude Code auth.
GRIP adds zero external dependencies to Claude Code. It uses only standard Python and Bash.
</p>
</div>
<h2>Key Concepts for Evaluators</h2>
<div class="card">
<p style="font-size: 0.85rem;"><strong>Converge Kernel</strong>: <code>converge(state, criterion, improve)</code> is GRIP's core algorithm.
Three parameters, infinite fractal depth. The same pattern applies at every scale &mdash; from fixing a bug
to evolving the entire genome. The system recursively selects for the pattern that produces recursive selection.</p>
<p style="font-size: 0.85rem; margin-top: 0.8rem;"><strong>Safety Gates</strong>: Mechanical enforcement through PreToolUse hooks.
Not "please don't force push" &mdash; the hook physically blocks the command. Trust through mechanisms that constrain,
not values that suggest. 6 gates: context, confidence, secrets, force-push, dependency folders, file read cache.</p>
<p style="font-size: 0.85rem; margin-top: 0.8rem;"><strong>RSI</strong>: Recursive Self-Improvement via the Fibonacci wave protocol.
Each wave batch-sizes work, delegates between models, and breathes (checkpoint + delight measurement).
The genome tracks which skills/patterns work. Fitness selection is real, not metaphorical &mdash; low-fitness genes
get pruned; high-fitness genes dominate future sessions.</p>
