Setting up CI/CD with BuildStax

A starter workflow for using BuildStax as a review assistant without giving it permission to merge unchecked changes.

Automate code review and patch generation in your GitHub Actions pipeline.

Begin with read-only review

The safest first step is to let BuildStax comment on pull requests without pushing code. It can identify risky diffs, missing tests, and likely regressions while your existing review rules stay intact.

Add patch generation for trusted labels

Once the team is comfortable with the feedback quality, use a label such as buildstax-fix to let the agent propose a patch branch. The patch still goes through normal CI and human review.

  • Keep branch protection enabled.
  • Require existing test suites to pass.
  • Limit write access to selected repositories at first.

Measure review time and revert rate

The goal is not more automation for its own sake. Track whether reviewers spend less time on routine issues and whether generated patches remain stable after merge.

Build with agents
