Catalayer Code provides evidence-first evaluation for public GitHub repositories. Before applying generative AI workflows, it executes verifiable deterministic checks covering structural gaps, test coverage risk, and pull request reviewability.
Evidence first. Deterministic signals second. AI assistance third.
Evaluations begin by analyzing verifiable git history, repository structure, and file diffs. Every conclusion is anchored to specific repository artifacts rather than probabilistic guesses.
The Chrome extension executes immediate client-side checks directly on GitHub pages. Findings can be deepened in the Catalayer Code Workspace with audit trails and history.
Every finding links to exact file paths, commit hashes, or line delta counts in the repository, protecting teams against black-box assertions.
Verified repository signals evaluated during every inspection.
| CHECK CATEGORY | VERIFIED CONDITION | CONFIDENCE | TARGET RISK |
|---|---|---|---|
| Repository Structure | Detects absence of CI workflow definitions (.github/workflows), license files, and lockfiles. | HIGH | Unverified build reproducibility & missing governance. |
| Test Coverage Risk | Surfaces recent production source modifications committed without corresponding test file changes. | HIGH | Silent regressions and unverified functional drift. |
| PR Reviewability | Flags high-churn or mixed-concern pull requests exceeding optimal single-pass review limits. | MEDIUM | Review fatigue, unspotted vulnerabilities, and merge delays. |
| Evidence Traceability | Every finding links to exact file paths, commit hashes, or line delta counts in the repository. | HIGH | Black-box assertions and ungrounded hallucinations. |
Moving between in-browser GitHub browsing and full repository investigation.
While browsing public repositories, the Chrome extension evaluates the open tree or active PR and renders deterministic badges.
