README

Groundhog AI Coding Assistant

Groundhog's primary purpose is to teach people how Cursor and all these other coding agents work under the hood. If you understand how these coding assistants work from first principles, then you can drive these tools harder (or perhaps make your own!). As part of the series kicked off at http://ghuntley.com/specs we'll be building it together, increment by increment.

Please don't raise GitHub issues mentioning that XYZ does not work as I'm yet to decide on the community model around the project and doing customer support for free is not high up on my list.

Groundhog is a teaching tool first. If you want a full-blown thing right now, go check out "Goose", "Roo/Cline", "Aider" or "AllHands".

Is Groundhog safe to use with an AI agent?

Its trust score is 73 out of 100 (good). It passes 0 of 1 static security checks; the failures are listed above. It has no ConduID identity yet, so agent calls to it are not receipted.
