What problem does it solve?

It prevents CI churn by running your build, test, and validate steps in an isolated remote chunk sidecar before your changes reach your pipeline.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Sync → Validate inner loop: Mirrors your local working tree to the sidecar and runs chunk validate with per-command routing so remote-only checks execute remotely.
  • One-time sidecar setup + snapshotting: Creates a configured sidecar environment, verifies it, snapshots it, then boots fast from the snapshot for future iterations.
  • Smarter Testing scaffolding: Generates .circleci/test-suites.yml suitable for CircleCI Smarter Testing, enabling shardable test execution driven by atoms and junit output.

Quick Start

Ask your AI agent to validate on the sidecar and run the tight loop by telling it to “sync to the sidecar and validate remotely”.
