Built an agent hook that gates permission-request calls behind a micro-workout

Summary

Built FitGate, an open-source tool that intercepts AI agent permission-request prompts and requires a short exercise to proceed, addressing dead time in agent workflows.

I use Claude Code and Gemini CLI daily and kept noticing all the dead time spent waiting on their permission-request prompts. Built a small tool (FitGate) that intercepts those prompts and requires a short exercise (planks, push-ups, 10s–2min) before the agent can proceed. Architecture: a local daemon that the agent's hook talks to — Claude Code's PermissionRequest hook and Gemini CLI's BeforeTool hook both route through it. Zero-config install, auto-detects installed agents. Open source, AGPLv3. Curious how others here are handling the 'agent asks, human waits' pattern — anyone building similar interception/notification layers for their agent workflows?
