**AI agents repeat mistakes. You pay for every retry.**

ThumbGate remembers what went wrong and blocks it before it happens again. One thumbs-down becomes a prevention rule that fires across every session, every agent, every model — before a single token is spent on the repeat.

```
  Agent tries:   rm -rf tests/
  ThumbGate:     ⛔ BLOCKED — "Never delete test directories"
                 Pattern matched: rm.*-rf.*tests
                 Source: your thumbs-down from last Tuesday
                 Tokens spent on this repeat: 0
```

```bash
npx thumbgate init   # auto-detects your agent, wires hooks, 30 seconds
```

Works with **Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Amp, Cline, OpenCode** and any MCP-compatible agent. Free tier: 5 active prevention rules. [Pro: $19/mo](https://thumbgate-production.up.railway.app/checkout/pro?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme) — unlimited rules, dashboard, DPO export.
