overview
Prelint is an AI code review tool developed by Prelint that enables engineering teams and AI agents to prevent product drift in AI-written code. It checks every pull request against documented product specifications, architecture decision records, and compliance rules to catch misalignments before shipping. This ensures product intent and verifies compliance with business rules, acting as a 'product review' agent rather than solely focusing on technical correctness.
features
Prelint provides a suite of features designed to ensure code alignment with product specifications and business rules, integrating directly into existing development workflows.
use cases
Prelint is designed for organizations and teams that prioritize product integrity and compliance, especially in environments leveraging AI for code generation.
how to use
Prelint integrates with GitHub and GitLab to automatically review pull requests against documented specifications. Users can get started by installing the application and configuring their repositories.
pricing
Prelint operates on a usage-based pricing model, charging per completed review. This model avoids seat-based fees or subscriptions, making it flexible for varying team sizes and project needs.

Prelint differentiates itself from traditional code analysis tools by focusing on product intent and compliance rather than just technical correctness. It fills a unique gap in the review process, especially for AI-generated code.
Provides a highly flexible platform to define and run any custom script or workflow directly within your pull request process.
Unlike Prelint's AI-driven interpretation of product specs, you must manually translate your product specs and business rules into executable scripts or checks. This offers ultimate control but requires significant upfront development and maintenance of your custom logic.
Allows you to write custom rules in JavaScript or Ruby that run during the pull request process, enabling automated feedback and enforcement.
Danger provides a framework for defining custom checks, similar to how Prelint enforces rules. However, it requires you to explicitly code the rules based on your product specs, rather than an AI interpreting them.
Enables defining policies as code (using Rego for OPA) to enforce rules across various data inputs, including code, configurations, and infrastructure.
OPA and Conftest offer a powerful, declarative way to define and enforce complex business rules, which can be integrated into a PR workflow. The trade-off is the need to learn Rego and explicitly codify your product specs into policies, as opposed to Prelint's AI-driven approach.
Integrates seamlessly with various linters and static analysis tools, allowing you to run custom commands and report findings directly in your pull request comments.
Reviewdog excels at presenting feedback from existing tools and custom scripts directly in PRs, similar to how Prelint provides feedback. However, it focuses on integrating existing checks or custom scripts you provide, rather than offering AI to interpret product specifications.
