/hard-cheese

The gate reduces epistemic debt. This debt exists when code passes checks, but the author cannot explain it.

Inputs

/hard-cheese [<slug>] [--socratic-cap N=3] [--passing-score N=3] [--no-judge]

Arguments:

<slug> identifies the artifact at .cheese/hard-cheese/<slug>.md. This argument is optional. Without it, use the short SHA of HEAD. An explicit slug overrides the SHA.
--socratic-cap N sets the maximum number of retries. The gate then marks the artifact FAILED and returns a non-zero status. The default is 3. Vibecheck has no limit, but easy-cheese prevents infinite loops.
--passing-score N sets the minimum SOLO score for PASS. Use a value from 1 through 5. The default is 3. The gate treats a previous PASS below this value as stale.
--no-judge enables log-only mode. Record the user's explanation with status: LOGGED. Do not start the judge sub-agent. This mode is the easy-cheese equivalent of the optional JSONL telemetry mode in vibecheck. It retains more content. See ## Divergence from the paper.
