FAQ
Direct answers, in order.
What is an executable AGENTS.md?
Section titled “What is an executable AGENTS.md?”An AGENTS.md where every enforceable claim carries an enforcement line (which gate, which toolchain, live status), is backed by a test that live-fires the negative example against the real rule, and whose body is generated and byte-gated against drift. See Executable AGENTS.md, defined for the full walkthrough.
Does getff need an LLM?
Section titled “Does getff need an LLM?”No. The enforcement gates it generates are native toolchain gates (ESLint, husky, clippy, cargo-deny) that run deterministically, with no model call in the loop. $0 LLM calls in CI is enforced by a test in getff’s own repo, not a marketing claim.
Is getff open source?
Section titled “Is getff open source?”Source-available under FSL-1.1-ALv2, not OSI open source. Every release converts to Apache-2.0 two years after it ships. We say this first, on purpose.
How is this different from Packmind?
Section titled “How is this different from Packmind?”Packmind runs an LLM-in-the-loop standards platform with its own runtime and org-wide features. getff compiles conventions into native toolchain gates instead — no runtime of its own, no LLM call to enforce a rule. If you need an LLM-driven standards platform with organization-wide rollout features, that’s a real reason to pick Packmind instead.
How is this different from agnix?
Section titled “How is this different from agnix?”agnix lints your agent configuration files. getff takes a different problem: making the claims inside those files executable, so a claim that stops being true fails a gate instead of silently going stale.
How is this different from CodeRabbit or Qodo?
Section titled “How is this different from CodeRabbit or Qodo?”CodeRabbit and Qodo do LLM-powered code review, which is a genuinely useful complement, not a replacement. getff’s gates are deterministic and cost nothing per run, because they’re native toolchain rules (ESLint/husky, clippy/cargo-deny), not a model call.
Does it work without Claude Code?
Section titled “Does it work without Claude Code?”The generated gates do, yes. Once getff compiles your conventions into ESLint rules, husky hooks, clippy lints, or cargo-deny policy, those gates live in your toolchain and run in any editor, any CI, with or without Claude Code.
