SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Consolidates engineering judgment across code quality, architecture fit, and security into a single, actionable verdict to gate releases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified evaluation across code correctness, architectural fit, and security surfaces.
  • Synthesizes outputs into a single verdict: APPROVED, CAUTION, or REWORK.
  • Use Case: after a plan or diff exists, trigger a tech-lead review before build or merge.

Quick Start

Provide a consolidated verdict by evaluating the current change against code quality, architecture, and security risk, and output the recommended action.

FAQPage Schema
How do I gate software releases with automated code review?

To gate software releases with automated code review, you evaluate code correctness, maintainability, architecture alignment, and security surfaces to synthesize a single APPROVED, CAUTION, or REWORK verdict before merging. This consolidates engineering judgment into an actionable release decision.

What is a tech lead code review process for architecture and security?

A tech lead code review process for architecture and security evaluates a code change against architectural fit and security threat surfaces to determine a safe, reproducible merge decision. It gathers scope, evidence, constraints, and threat context to drive an authoritative verdict.

When do I need to run a pre-merge gatekeeping review?

You need to run a pre-merge gatekeeping review after a plan or diff exists and before a build or merge. It is triggered when a tech-lead level evaluation is requested to ensure engineering rigor across code, architecture, and security contexts.

How do I evaluate code correctness and maintainability for a merge decision?

You evaluate code correctness and maintainability for a merge decision by gathering inputs like scope, evidence, and constraints to assess the change. The evaluation synthesizes these technical dimensions into a unified verdict to approve or rework the release.

Can I use automated tech-lead review to check architecture alignment and security risks?

Yes, you can use an automated tech-lead review to check architecture alignment and security risks. It assesses the current change against code quality, architecture fit, and security surfaces, outputting a recommended action to ensure a safe release.

What are the limitations of automated gatekeeping for code changes?

Automated gatekeeping for code changes requires an existing plan or diff to evaluate and cannot operate without provided scope, evidence, constraints, and threat context. It synthesizes existing engineering inputs into a verdict rather than generating new code.
