PR Guardrail CI
A CI add-on that blocks risky merges by enforcing a lightweight, opinionated "plan + debug" checklist and automated quality gates designed for fast-shipping teams. It detects common failure modes in generated/rapidly-produced code (missing error handling, no logging, unbounded retries, secrets leakage patterns, absent basic tests) and requires explicit sign-off on the highest-risk areas before merge.

PR Guardrail CI
A CI add-on that blocks risky merges by enforcing a lightweight, opinionated "plan + debug" checklist and automated quality gates designed for fast-shipping teams. It detects common failure modes in generated/rapidly-produced code (missing error handling, no logging, unbounded retries, secrets leakage patterns, absent basic tests) and requires explicit sign-off on the highest-risk areas before merge.
Target customer
Engineering managers and tech leads at small-to-mid SaaS teams (5–50 devs) using GitHub/GitLab who are experiencing a spike in regressions from rapid development practices.
Problem-solution fit
Teams are paying for repeated firefighting because code is merged without minimal planning, review structure, or hard quality checks. This product turns subjective "please slow down and plan" into enforceable PR gates plus automatic detection of common production foot-guns, reducing senior-engineer time spent fixing preventable issues.
