The GitHub App

The Platform is the hosted half of Cerebe: the GitHub App runs an independent panel on every pull request and posts one verdict as a check. It is the paid tier — $200 per developer / month (pricing) — and the authority the workstation CLI defers to.

Install the App

Install the Cerebe GitHub App on a repository from factory.cerebe.ai. Once it's installed, every pull request runs the panel automatically — no workflow YAML to add, and no model keys to store in your CI.

Advisory, then required

• Advisory (the default): the App posts its verdict as a Cerebe check on every pull request. Nothing is blocked while the panel builds a track record.
• Required: mark the Cerebe check required in your branch protection. Now the verdict gates merge — a pull request can't merge until the check is green.

Same panel, two postures. Start advisory; require the check when you trust it.

What the panel does

Independent critics from rival model families review the change in parallel, each on its own, and a deterministic kernel turns their findings into one verdict — the same kernel that runs on your workstation. The workstation critic is a convenience that shares this kernel; the hosted App runs its own independent critic fleet and remains the authority that gates merge. On the Platform, blocking takes corroboration: a blocking finding holds the merge when a second independent critic reports it at the same place, and a finding that stands alone is kept on the record as a dissent.

Every verdict is bound to the commit SHA and its diff — amend the commit and the panel re-runs, and a stale diff is rejected rather than judged. Overriding the check takes a named person and a recorded reason.
