Autter pipeline automation adds focused checks and finishing steps to the pull request workflow. It runs before merge and works alongside your existing CI/CD pipeline.

Pipeline capabilities

Custom guardrails

Describe organization-specific pre-merge checks in natural language.

Test generation

Identify changed paths that need coverage and propose missing tests.

Docstring generation

Propose documentation for functions, classes, and modules.

Linters and scanners

Run focused static checks and security scanners, then surface the relevant results.

Context used by the pipeline

The pipeline can combine three context layers:
  1. Codebase intelligence for architecture, dependencies, and established patterns.
  2. External context from linked issues, documentation, MCP servers, and web queries when configured.
  3. Linters and scanners for deterministic findings that support the review.

Fit Autter into CI/CD

Use Autter as a pre-merge review layer. Keep build, test, deployment, and environment-specific verification in your existing CI/CD system. A practical division of responsibility is:

Review generated changes

Generated tests can encode the wrong behavior. Generated docstrings can make incorrect assumptions sound authoritative. Review both before accepting them.
Do not use generated tests as proof that a requirement is correct. Validate the expected behavior independently.

Configure the pipeline

Choose checks, test a representative pull request, and tune the output before broader rollout.
