How It Works

From Connected Repo
to Confident Release.
In Four Steps.

Connect GitHub repos. Get scored across 5 categories. See actionable findings. Ship when ready.

Workflow

Four steps to quality

Step 01

Connect Your Repositories

Install the GitHub App, select your repos. No code changes required, no CI configuration, no SDK to integrate.

One-Click Setup

Install the GitHub App and select repositories. Events flow automatically — pushes, PRs, security alerts.

Zero Configuration

No YAML files, no pipeline changes. Cheer listens to your existing GitHub events and starts scoring immediately.

Step 02

Get Scored Automatically

Every push, PR, and security event triggers analysis. Your components receive a 0-10 score across 5 categories, updated in real-time.

Metric Analysis

GitHub webhooks — Dependabot alerts, secret scanning, code scanning results — processed directly into metrics with no AI overhead.

AI Analysis

AI agents analyze hygiene, trust, PR completeness, and code patterns for deeper insights beyond what webhooks capture.

Step 03

Act on Findings

Every score includes specific, actionable findings with remediation guidance. Know exactly what to fix and how to fix it.

Prioritized Findings

Findings ranked by severity — critical, major, minor. Focus on what matters most to your score and security posture.

Remediation Guidance

Specific steps to resolve each finding, with AI-generated recommendations tailored to your codebase.

Step 04

Ship with Confidence

Quality gates determine release readiness based on your configured thresholds. No more guessing whether code is ready to ship.

Automatic Decisions

Configurable thresholds drive release decisions automatically.

≥ 8.0 — Automatic release
6.0 – 7.9 — Manual review required
< 6.0 — Release blocked

CI/CD Integration

Plug quality gates into your existing deployment pipeline.

One platform, every perspective

Developers

See where your code stands at a glance. Get specific findings with remediation steps. Watch scores improve with every push.

Engineering Leads

Configure policies that match your team's priorities. Set weights, thresholds, and define what "release ready" means for your organization.

Managers & Executives

Team-level rollups, quality trends, and bottleneck identification. Release confidence backed by real data, not gut feel.
