What is Pullminder
Pullminder is an AI-powered pull request review platform that analyzes every PR in your GitHub organization for risk. It detects security issues, large diffs, missing tests, policy violations, and more — then assigns a risk score from 0 to 100 so reviewers know exactly where to focus. Instead of skimming hundreds of changed lines hoping to catch problems, your team gets a structured reviewer brief on every pull request.
Pullminder installs as a GitHub App and runs automatically. There is nothing to configure in your CI pipeline and no code to add to your repository. Once installed, it watches for pull request events and delivers results as PR comments within seconds.
For teams that need offline analysis or want to integrate risk scoring into CI, Pullminder also ships a CLI that runs the same analyzers locally against any diff.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”- Install the GitHub App on your organization and select the repositories you want to monitor.
- Open or update a pull request. Pullminder receives a webhook, fetches the diff, and runs it through a pipeline of analyzers.
- Review the results. Pullminder posts a comment on the PR with the risk score, a summary of findings, and a reviewer brief highlighting what matters most.
- Optionally block merges. You can configure Pullminder as a required status check so that PRs above a risk threshold cannot be merged until findings are addressed.

Key concepts
Section titled “Key concepts”Risk score — A number from 0 to 100 that represents the overall risk of a pull request. The score is calculated from multiple weighted analyzers and determines whether Pullminder flags the PR for closer review.
Rule packs — Bundles of detection rules and policy checks that Pullminder runs against each PR. Rule packs come in two flavors: detection packs identify patterns (e.g., secrets in code, SQL injection vectors) and policy packs enforce team standards (e.g., require tests for files in src/auth/). You can use the built-in packs, install community packs from the registry, or author your own.
Findings — Individual issues surfaced by rule packs during analysis. Each finding has a severity, a location in the diff, and a description. Findings feed into the risk score.
Reviewer brief — The structured comment Pullminder posts on each PR. It includes the risk score, a prioritized list of findings, and context to help the reviewer understand what changed and why it matters.
