Cerebe / Product / Install

CLI on the laptop. App on the pull request.

The CLI is free to run on any repository. The hosted GitHub App — that’s the Platform independent panel. Require the Cerebe check when you want enforcement.

1. Install the CLI

Checksum-verified binaries. Then scaffold config and wire git hooks.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/momentiq-ai/cerebe/main/install.sh | sh

cerebe --version
cerebe install

Install is the workstation. The GitHub App is the platform.

2. Turn on the GitHub App

Install the Cerebe GitHub App on a repository. Every pull request runs the independent panel and posts one verdict as a Cerebe check. Start advisory. Require the check when you want it to gate merge.

3. Verify the workstation

cerebe doctor reports hooks, detected coding harnesses, and config. All OK means the next commit will run the local critic and the next push will be gated on its verdict.

cerebe doctor

What the hooks do

cerebe install writes them. Post-commit runs the critic in the background and writes a per-commit verdict. Pre-push blocks if that verdict has open blockers. A blocked push needs a named, recorded reason.

Then require the check.

Advisory posts a verdict on every pull request. Required means that check must be green to merge.
