# HoldUp

> HoldUp is a developer-tool project for catching spec drift in pull requests before merge.

Canonical site: https://getholdup.com/

## What HoldUp does

HoldUp compares code changes with the engineering context that was supposed to guide them, including:
- product and engineering specs
- architecture decision records (ADRs)
- OpenAPI and GraphQL contracts
- tickets and technical documentation

A HoldUp finding should cite the source, explain the mismatch, and show possible downstream impact.

## Core problem

A pull request can compile, pass tests, and still contradict the original requirement or engineering decision. AI coding agents can increase the speed and volume at which these mismatches occur.

## Product positioning

HoldUp is not intended to replace tests, code review, static analysis, or existing spec frameworks. It is an intent-aware PR and CI check that works with the team's existing engineering context.

## Current stage

HoldUp is in early pilot and customer discovery.
