Changelog

Updated compression and content selection algorithms for repo documents. The reviewer picks up more relevant context from your architecture docs, compliance specs, and ADRs.

Dropped the branding signature from inline comments. Bulk DB operations instead of per-document queries, deduplicated filesystem walks, and smarter binary detection make repo connects and syncs noticeably faster.

Tell Prelint which files to skip. Lock files, build artifacts, vendored dependencies — 160+ patterns are built in. Add your own with standard glob syntax. Reviews get faster and quieter.

Ignore patterns and excluded authors now cascade down four levels. Set a rule once at the org and it flows to every repo underneath. Override at any layer when you need to.

You can now retry a failed review directly from the Reviews page. Previously you had to push a new commit to trigger another one.

The dashboard and all app pages load noticeably faster, especially on repeat visits.

Prelint now posts findings as inline comments on the exact lines in your diff. No more scrolling through a wall of text — you see what's wrong right where the code is.

Push a fix to an already-reviewed PR and Prelint only re-reviews the files that changed. Faster feedback, and findings on unchanged files don't get repeated.

Prelint tracks its own comments across re-reviews. Duplicates get deduped, and findings that no longer apply get auto-minimized. Your PR stays clean as the conversation evolves.

Reviews now run on the latest Sonnet model. Better reasoning, fewer false positives, same speed.

You can now drag files into the upload dropzone instead of clicking through a file picker.

Screen readers, keyboard navigation, and contrast ratios now meet WCAG 2.1 AA across the frontend. Long overdue, now done.

A batch of infrastructure and security hardening as we work toward SOC 2 Type II certification.

You can now connect more than one GitHub account or installation to a single organization. Useful if your codebase spans multiple GitHub orgs or you're migrating between accounts.

Admins can scope member access to specific repositories instead of granting org-wide visibility. Handy for agencies or teams with contractors who should only see certain repos.

Empty pages now walk you through what to do next — connect GitHub, enable a repo, trigger your first review — instead of showing a blank screen. Each step highlights when it's your turn.

Prelint no longer reviews draft pull requests. Reviews kick in when you mark the PR as ready, so you're not burning cycles on work-in-progress.

Tightened OTP verification, subscription lifecycle handling, and auth token validation. Nothing you need to do — things just work more reliably now.

When a review is skipped (expired subscription, draft PR, repo not enabled), the Reviews page now tells you why instead of showing nothing.

Reviews now have a 10-minute hard cap. If something goes wrong with the model, the review stops and gets marked as failed instead of running indefinitely.

When a stuck review is detected and marked failed, the GitHub check run on your PR updates to match. No more permanently-pending status checks blocking your merge.

We're launching a startup program with $100k in Prelint credits. Register an account and reach out to hello@prelint.com to apply.

Enabling a repository is now snappier and more reliable, so you can start reviewing PRs sooner after connecting a repo.

Every team member can now browse projects, repositories, and review history — no admin role required. Give your whole team visibility into what's being reviewed.

We've raised review limits to 200 per organization and 30 per repository per hour, so even your busiest repos won't hit the ceiling.

If the same pull request triggers multiple review requests, we now catch it and run only one — no more cluttered review history or wasted cycles.

Team members now see an interface tailored to their role. Admin controls stay out of the way for everyone else.

The Reviews page updates in real-time as new reviews complete. No more refreshing to check on progress.

Every review now goes through claim verification and severity calibration before posting. Fewer false positives, higher confidence in every remark.

Review validation now runs on newer, more capable models for more precise quality checks in less time.

Subscribe to review lifecycle events and route them to Slack, your CI pipeline, or any HTTP endpoint.

Find any review instantly. Search and filter your entire review history from a single page.

Reviews that stop progressing are automatically detected and flagged, so nothing slips through the cracks.

Every organization gets its own isolated file system. Your code and specs never share storage with another tenant.

Prelint watches for pushes to your default branch and keeps its documentation context current automatically.

Reviews now run in dedicated containers with persistent storage, enabling richer repository context over time.

Webhooks deliver asynchronously with automatic retries and exponential backoff. Transient failures won't lose your events.

Large review lists and settings tables optimized for smoother scrolling and faster rendering.

Prelint validates whether code changes match their stated purpose, catching drift between what a PR describes and what it implements.

Prelint indexes your repository's specs and documentation, giving every review product context beyond the code diff.

Browse all review activity across your organization with expandable detail rows showing the full output.

PR review status now shows as a rich GitHub Check Run with detailed summaries instead of a simple status dot.

Prelint detects compliance frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR in your repositories using AI classification, and adjusts its review focus automatically.

New dashboard with subscription status, onboarding progress, and a live review activity feed.

One-click installation as a proper GitHub App with cleaner permissions and streamlined repo management.

Attach context entries to projects and repositories to teach Prelint the domain knowledge your team relies on.

Prelint confirms it's reviewing your PR the moment it arrives, so you always know a review is on its way.

Every new organization starts with a 7-day free trial. No credit card required.
