AI writes the code.
Who reviews the reviewer?

AI-generated code ships fast and introduces subtle bugs the linter was never designed to catch. Human reviewers skim for obvious issues. CI tests only what you remembered to test — not the edge cases an attacker will find first.

01

Linters don't think

Static analysis catches patterns. It cannot reason about what happens when amount is -9999, or what breaks when two threads collide on the same record.

02

Tests cover the happy path

Developers write tests for the code they meant to write. Adversarial edge cases — the ones attackers reach for first — stay uncovered until production finds them.

03

CI catches it after the fact

A failed pipeline 10 minutes after push is a broken flow. Context has switched. The branch is polluted. The cost is measured in reviewer time, not compute.

Four engines. One verdict.

Step 01

PR opened

A developer opens a pull request. Syntinel receives the GitHub webhook within milliseconds and begins review before the author finishes the description.

Step 02

Adversarial review

The diff is sent to a purpose-built code model that reviews logic, data flow and security boundaries from an attacker's perspective — not a grader's.

Step 03

Tests generated and run

Syntinel writes adversarial test cases tailored to the diff and executes them inside an isolated sandbox. Your code is attacked — with your own dependencies — before it ships.

Step 04

Verdict posted

Findings are posted inline on the PR with severity, evidence and a fix suggestion. Criticals block the merge. The team sees exactly what failed and why.

Review in the pull request. Pre-empt it at the keyboard.

GitHub App

The team's safety net.

Installs in sixty seconds. Every PR reviewed automatically — merge-blocking on critical findings, team-wide security posture with zero configuration.
