Find the defect
Zeus reads the change and checks the code paths that the pull request touches.
Connect GitHub to one repository. Zeus reviews a pull request in an isolated sandbox, runs a targeted check when a claim needs proof, and posts merge advice and findings back to GitHub.
Next: connect one repository, then review your first PR.
Repository-scoped access. Isolated sandbox. See access details.
01The review gap
Most review tools inspect the patch and make a claim. Zeus can inspect the patch, run a targeted check, and give you the observed result. That changes the question from "does this look safe?" to "what happened when we tested it?"
Review a pull requestZeus reads the change and checks the code paths that the pull request touches.
When static reasoning is not enough, Zeus uses the checked out repo and shell.
Runtime-backed findings include the test, what happened, and a short explanation.
02How it works
Connect GitHub once. Zeus works where your team already reviews code.
Install Arcanist on the repository you want to review. Start a review from a PR comment or let it run when a PR opens.
It gets the repo, dependencies, and shell in an isolated sandbox. When a claim needs proof, it runs a targeted check.
Zeus posts merge advice and findings to GitHub. Blocking issues, follow-ups, and clean reviews stay easy to tell apart.
03What the result looks like
Zeus keeps the merge decision short and puts runtime evidence beside the finding when it has it. You can see what it tested, what happened, and what to change without translating a confidence score.
Blocking finding
Refund can be issued twice
A retry after the payment provider times out does not re-check the stored refund id.
Follow-up
Add coverage for the retry path

05Questions
Here is the short version of what Zeus does and how it fits with the tools you already use.
Zeus reviews pull requests and gives merge advice from the findings it publishes. A clean review means it found no publishable findings. Findings that block a merge are separated from follow-up work.
Zeus starts with the diff, then uses the checked-out repository, installed dependencies, and shell when a claim needs proof. It can run a decisive probe, reproduce a defect, and include the steps and observed result in the finding.
No. CI owns your suite status. Zeus looks for novel defects and uses runtime evidence when it helps prove a finding. A red CI check by itself does not change Zeus merge advice.
New teams start with 50 free reviews while the repository environment is tuned. After that, reviews are $0.50 each. You can also request a team conversation if you need a different setup.
You connect a GitHub repository through Arcanist. Review sessions run with repository-scoped access in an isolated sandbox. The app handles authorization and token use on the server.
Zeus is advisory by default. Its GitHub check can be configured to block merges for a repository. A clean review means Zeus found no publishable findings. It does not replace CI or guarantee that a change is safe.
You choose a repository, then Reviews suggests an open pull request. Start the review there, or use the PR comment command when you want to review a different change. Zeus checks out the branch and posts the result back to GitHub.
