ShipGuardeRELEASE CLEARANCE BUREAU
WHERE IT PLUGS IN

Plugs into
your workflow.

GitHub for reviews, CI for gating, and Slack or email so the right people see the verdict.

GITHUB

Install the app once and review pull requests on demand. Analysis runs least-privilege and sandboxed, and the app key never touches your code.

01

Trigger with the shipguarde label or an @shipguarde comment

02

A status check, inline review comments, and a sticky summary

03

Reply to a finding to dismiss or verify it. The app responds in-thread

GITHUB ACTIONS & API

Run it from CI and gate the job on the verdict, independently of the GitHub check.

01

Drop in shipguarde/review-action@v1 with an sg_pat_… key

02

Choose when to fail: fail-on: block | block_or_warn | never

03

Or call POST /api/runs directly and poll for the verdict

IN-REPO .SHIPGUARDE.YML

Version-control your gate policy so a change to it is reviewed in the same pull request.

01

failCheckOnBlock: true turns a block into a failing check

02

In-repo settings win over the dashboard, and unknown keys are ignored

03

Read from the PR head commit, so the policy travels with the branch

SLACK

Keep the team in the loop without leaving chat.

01

Verdict notifications to a channel via an incoming webhook

02

Get pinged on a block, or when a fixed issue regresses

EMAIL

A signed clearance certificate in the inbox when a run finishes.

01

Send to the recipients you pick per run

02

Org mailing lists for stakeholders who only want the result

Code review checks the diff. ShipGuarde also checks the running product, so a release does not ship on the hope that nothing broke.
