SpecGuard

SpecGuard is a web app + GitHub/GitLab app that blocks “review ping-pong” by requiring a lightweight spec before code review starts. Authors answer a short template (goal, non-goals, user impact, rollout plan, test plan, observability, risks). The reviewer UI shows the spec side-by-side with the diff and auto-checks whether the PR matches the stated intent (e.g., missing tests promised, no migration plan, risky config changes without rollout notes). It’s an AI-assisted product, but the core value is process enforcement: teams can set policy gates (e.g., any DB change must include rollback steps). It generates a concise review checklist per PR, reduces subjective debates, and produces an audit trail for incidents. It won’t magically make bad code good; it will make expectations explicit and stop wasted cycles.
