Open Source Maintainers
Free CodeLoop forever. Get the same gate-check OSS maintainers use to triage AI-generated PRs.
The setup
OSS maintainers receive an increasing flood of AI-generated PRs that look plausible but break the build. CodeLoop's free OSS plan lets you (and contributors) run the same verifier locally and via the GitHub Action — only PRs that pass the gate-check make it to your review queue.
Workflow
- Apply for the OSS plan. Apply at https://codeloop.tech/oss-application. Auto-approved for any public repo with an OSI-approved licence in under 24h.
- Add the GitHub Action. Drop the codeloop/verify action into .github/workflows. PRs auto-run verify and post the gate-check score as a check.
- Block merge below 94%. Configure branch protection to require the codeloop/gate-check status — AI-generated PRs that don't actually work get rejected automatically.
- Local verification. Contributors install with `npx codeloop init` and verify locally before opening the PR.
FAQ
Is CodeLoop really free for OSS?
Yes — the Solo plan, forever, for any public repo with an OSI-approved licence. No credit card. Auto-verified via GitHub.
What about my private repos as a maintainer?
Private repos need a paid plan ($5/mo Solo). The OSS exemption applies only to public repos under an OSI-approved licence.
Does the GitHub Action consume my OSS GitHub Actions minutes?
Yes — it runs in your repo's Actions runner like any other workflow. Public repos get unlimited free minutes from GitHub, so this is a non-issue for OSS.
