Who it is forA team that wants a semantic review on every pull request before merging, without maintaining CI configuration.
The problemReviewers miss logic bugs in large pull requests, and setting up custom CI checks takes time.
The outcomePull requests are scanned by Perch Cloud, and the team knows what a build can gate on.
What you need first
- Node.js with npm, to install the @lakeday/perch package
- A Perch Cloud account, created by running perch login (the first $5 is free)
- A project folder with source code to scan
Steps
- Run
perch loginto sign in to Perch Cloud - Read the CI guide at https://docs.perchscan.com/ci/ to see what a build can gate on and what it cannot
- Connect the repository to Perch Cloud through its dashboard at https://perchscan.com (inferred, check the README)
- Open a pull request and review the Perch findings it reports
Prompt for your agent
For the perch repo at <project path>, read https://docs.perchscan.com/ci/ and summarize what a build can gate on. Confirm that a test pull request receives perch findings. Verify that the pull request shows findings without any new workflow file added to the repo.
Caveat. The README says Perch Cloud scans pull requests in CI but does not describe the connection steps, so the dashboard step is inferred and must be checked against the CI docs.
