Framework
The Commit Gauntlet
Mike's automated quality pipeline, and the automation he says he'd miss most if it vanished tomorrow.
How it works
- 1A new commit lands from an agent.
- 2An automated quality checker reviews it and can reject it back to the agent.
- 3Only after the automated check passes does a human review happen.
- 4On human approval, the commit and deploy execute automatically, DNS configuration included.
