What is Grabby?

Grabby transforms natural-language requests into structured feature contracts, then moves them through validation, planning, approval, execution, and audit. It works with any LLM - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot - as a provider-agnostic orchestration layer.

Instead of prompt-driven guesswork, you get bounded scope, clear governance, and full traceability for every feature.

Contract Workflow

Every feature follows a deterministic path:

1 Task 2 Validate 3 Plan 4 Approve 5 Execute 6 Audit
📋

Feature Contracts

Define scope, allowed directories, file changes, and done criteria before any code is written.

🤖

AI Personas

Specialized agents for each phase: Archie shapes contracts, Val validates, Sage plans, Dev executes, Iris audits.

Archie Val Sage Dev Iris

Governance Gates

Enforce coding standards, restricted paths, security rules, and test coverage. Execution fails if scope is violated.

Core Commands

  • grabby task - Interview-driven task breakdown with persona selection
  • grabby orchestrate - Full persona handoff: Archie to Iris
  • grabby validate - Check contract completeness and risk
  • grabby plan - Generate implementation plan
  • grabby execute - Bounded execution with guardrails
  • grabby audit - Post-execution verification
