Gate pull requests on Adapt's review

Adapt's automated PR review now runs as a first-class GitHub check — make "Adapt Review" a required status check and it gates every merge.

Adapt is now a first-class check in GitHub. Every automated PR review runs as a check named Adapt Review on the PR's latest commit, so you can make it a required status check and block merges until Adapt signs off. Adapt also shows up in the Reviewers sidebar on every PR it reviews — a real reviewer, right in the GitHub UI.

How the check works

When a PR is opened, marked ready for review, or receives a new push, Adapt starts an Adapt Review check run on the head commit and reviews the change. When the review posts, the check concludes:

  • Pass — confidence score of 3/5 or higher. The change looks safe to merge.
  • Fail — confidence score below 3/5. The check's summary carries the full review, so the reason is one click away.
  • Neutral — the review was skipped or didn't produce a verdict (for example, on a bot-authored PR). Neutral never blocks a merge.

Every new push gets a fresh review and a fresh check, so the gate covers the exact commit you're merging — not a stale one. And if a review can't run or gets cancelled, Adapt concludes the check as neutral instead of leaving it hanging, so a required check never wedges a PR.

Make it required

Gate merges on Adapt's review with a branch ruleset:

  1. In your repository, go to Settings > Rules > Rulesets and create a branch ruleset targeting your default branch.
  2. Enable Require status checks to pass.
  3. Click Add checks and select Adapt Review.

From then on, the merge button stays disabled until Adapt's review completes and passes. Classic branch protection rules work the same way.

A reviewer in the sidebar

Adapt's reviews now always post as real GitHub reviews — even when there are no inline comments — so Adapt appears in the Reviewers sidebar alongside your team. The review carries the confidence score, summary, important files changed, and inline findings, with a link back to the full session in Adapt.

Automated reviews and the check run through the GitHub integration. If you connected GitHub before automated reviews shipped, reconnect so Adapt picks up pull request events.
