PREFLIGHT
Know if it's ready before you push.
Preflight watches your branch locally, scores readiness, flags blockers, and maps blast radius before a PR exists.
Focus
Catch problems before review starts.
Model
Analysis locked to branch state.
Surface
CLI and local web dashboard.
Distribution
One install, public releases on GitHub.
Branch readiness at a glance
Score, blockers, blast radius. One screen.
Runs entirely on your machine. No code leaves the repo.
The shift
PRs are merge logistics now. Quality moved left.
AI-accelerated teams ship too fast for review to be the quality gate. The check has to happen locally, while the code is still yours to fix.
Before
"Open the PR. Review will catch it."
- Review is the first quality pass
- Bugs found days after the code was written
- Reviewers spend time on fixable noise
After
"Branch is clean. PR is for sign-off."
- Quality verified locally before push
- Blockers surface while context is fresh
- Reviews focus on architecture and intent
Capabilities
Everything that should happen before "ready for review."
Readiness scoring
Ready, needs review, or hold. Explicit verdict with blockers attached.
Blast radius
See every downstream caller and fan-out hotspot your changes affect.
Missing test detection
Flags changed exports and entrypoints that lack test coverage.
Scope creep alerts
Spots unrelated changes and non-code drift before they reach review.
AI code review
Findings scoped to the current branch state. Stale results get discarded.
Local-only execution
No data leaves your machine. No accounts, no cloud, no telemetry.
Why teams use it
Feedback in seconds, not days
Blockers and test gaps surface while the code is still in your editor.
PRs land cleaner
Reviewers stop wasting cycles on problems the author could have caught.
