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.
