Patchlightdocs

Introduction

Patchlight reviews every pull request and scans your code for vulnerabilities — from GitHub, your terminal, or any CI pipeline.

Patchlight reads code and tells you what is wrong with it. It runs in three places, and they all report into the same dashboard, the same findings list, and the same balance.

Two kinds of analysis

Answers“is this change correct and safe?”“what is wrong with this codebase?”
Triggered bya pull request, a commit, patchlight reviewa schedule, patchlight scan
Billedper reviewper token, so cost tracks repository size
Reportscwe is nullfindings carry a CWE classification

Both produce findings with the same shape, in the same list, triaged the same way.

What you get

  • Findings where you already are — inline PR comments, a terminal UI, JSON for your own tooling.
  • Uncommitted code included — the CLI reads your working tree, which a server that clones your repository structurally cannot.
  • Multi-repo, multi-workspace — personal and organization workspaces, each with its own balance and API keys.
  • Provider-agnostic AI — Gemini by default, switchable to Claude or OpenAI.
  • Your code stays yours — one-click deletion, never used for training.
  • Pay as you go — your first 20 reviews are free; top up from $5.
