Sphinx is a Git pre-push hook that quizzes developers on their AI-generated diffs before code ships, forcing understanding rather than passive acceptance of agent output. It uses an LLM reviewer to generate adversarial scenarios from the diff and blocks the push until the developer answers correctly. A clever response to the growing problem of shipping code nobody on the team actually understands.

Target audience: backend devs, fullstack devs, engineering teams using AI coding agents
