Firetrail analyzes every pull request the moment it opens, scores its Future Debug Cost, and puts a team of six senior-engineer reviewers on the PR — risk, evidence, and coaching, so your team fixes the risky change before it ever ships.
Your review team — six senior reviewers on day one. Meet them →
Installs as a GitHub App in minutes · Advisory by default — never blocks your merges
A reviewer skims a 40-file PR and approves it. Six weeks later it's the origin of a production incident. The risk was there at review time — bundled refactors, untested logic, cross-stack blast radius — but nothing surfaced it. Firetrail does.
Beyond the score, Firetrail puts a team of named senior-engineer AI reviewers on each PR. Each one judges the change from their own specialty — and tells you, in plain language, whether they'd ship it.
“The retry path isn't idempotent — a failed charge could double-bill.”
Correctness, data access, reliability & operational soundness
“Authorization is scoped to the org on every query — no concerns here.”
Secrets, authz, tenant isolation & abuse defenses
“Migration is backward-compatible, but this lookup needs an index.”
Schema, constraints, indexing & migrations
“Clean component, but the loading and error states are missing.”
Component design, UX states & frontend performance
“Nothing user-facing in this change for me to weigh in on.”
Keyboard access, focus, semantics & contrast
“Single responsibility holds and the new abstraction earns its keep.”
Design principles & cognitive / UX laws
The team is advisory — like the score, it never blocks your merge. Each reviewer keeps a deep private checklist and only speaks up about what your PR actually triggers, citing the files and the reasoning behind every concern.
Firetrail meets your developers where they already work — inside the PR.
Install the Firetrail GitHub App and pick your repositories. No CI changes, no config files.
On open and on every push, Firetrail fetches the diff and runs its classifiers to compute a Future Debug Cost score.
A check and a single, tidy comment show the score, what drove it, the evidence, and a coaching suggestion — never blame.
Deterministic facts plus AI classification — tuned to detect real production risk, not superficial churn.
One explainable 0–100 score per PR with a transparent breakdown — Low, Moderate, High, or Critical — so risk is comparable across your whole team.
Six named senior-engineer reviewers — backend, frontend, security, database, accessibility, and software heuristics — each give a holistic verdict and satisfaction score on every PR, right alongside the score.
When a bugfix lands, Firetrail blames the changed lines back to the PRs that introduced them — turning incidents into evidence about what's risky.
Refactor/feature mix, untested risky behavior, cross-stack blast radius, global config changes, dependency updates, and more — each with evidence and false-positive notes.
Add your own risk checks with a plain-English prompt — cognitive complexity, secret scanning, anything specific to your codebase. No code required.
Translate risk into ROI: debugging cost avoided, before/after trend, and proof — high-risk PRs are X× more likely to become bugs in your own history.
Track change quality over time, spot the most common risk patterns, and coach with data — never blame.
Firetrail is advisory by design. It surfaces risk and how to address it, while your team stays in control of the merge.
