Pre-review trust gate
Stop low-trust PRs
before review starts.
Checkpoint runs before Critique review, before credits burn, and before a maintainer gives a pull request attention it has not earned. Deterministic rules — identity, activity, content shape, maintainer overrides.

Critique review skipped. Specialist lanes never start. The GitHub check fails at Checkpoint.
Rule catalog
Rules with receipts.
No agents. No model calls.
Toggle each rule in the repo dashboard, set thresholds inline, and let GitHub branch protection enforce the result. Every failure ships a field-by-field receipt on the event page.
| Rule | What it checks | Example signal |
|---|---|---|
AI slop detection | Flags boilerplate in PR bodies, commit messages, and changed comments. | "Certainly! Here is a comprehensive..." |
Profile picture | Requires a real avatar instead of a default GitHub identity. | @ghost_patch_17 |
Account age | Contributor must clear your minimum account-age threshold. | Created 14 minutes ago |
Max files changed | Stops oversized drive-by diffs before CI and review run. | 47 files touched |
Language gate | Keeps contribution language aligned with repository policy. | Primary: TypeScript |
Merged PR threshold | Uses public merged PR history as a deterministic trust input. | Minimum merged PRs: 5 |
Profile README | Checks for a public username/username profile README. | README.md missing |
Allow and block lists | Maintainers can trust a contributor or enforce a block per repo. | @renovatebot allowed |
Pipeline
Critique reviews code.
Checkpoint decides who gets reviewed.
- 01
PR opened
GitHub webhook lands. Checkpoint evaluates contributor and PR shape first.
- 02
Checkpoint
Pass continues, warn records signal, block stops review before credits burn.
- 03
Critique review
Specialists and sandbox evidence run only after the gate clears the PR.
- 04
Merge
Branch protection can require both Checkpoint and review checks.
Live demo
Toggle rules.
Watch outcomes change.
The landing demo is deterministic. Disable a rule and the same pull request can pass through the gate.

Included with Critique
Run it before reviews,
or run it alone.
Checkpoint lives inside the same GitHub App and dashboard. Protect credits for Critique review, or operate as a standalone contributor gate for repos that only need deterministic intake.
