no-mistakes

no-mistakes is an open-source CLI tool built in Go by Kun Chen that acts as a local git proxy in front of your real remote. Instead of pushing directly to origin, you push to no-mistakes, which spins up a disposable worktree, runs an AI-driven validation pipeline, and only forwards the branch after every check passes — then opens a clean PR automatically. It is available under the MIT License and supports macOS, Linux, and Windows.

What It Is

no-mistakes addresses a shift in the AI-assisted development workflow: AI agents can generate thousands of lines of code quickly, but the bottleneck has moved to reviewing and validating that output. The tool moves quality infrastructure — rebase, AI code review, test execution, documentation updates, linting, and CI watching — into a local gate that runs before the branch ever reaches the remote. The result is a clean PR raised without manual intervention.

How the Gate Model Works

When you run git push no-mistakes, the tool:

• Creates a disposable worktree so your working directory is never disrupted
• Runs the pipeline in sequence: review → test → docs → lint → push → PR → CI
• Applies safe, mechanical fixes automatically (auto-fix findings)
• Escalates anything that touches intent to the human for approval, fix, or skip
• Forwards the branch to the configured push target only when every check is green
• Opens the PR body automatically — no hand-written description needed

Three Entry Points

The same pipeline is reachable from three different surfaces depending on how you're working:

• git push no-mistakes — the explicit Git path; push a committed branch to the gate remote
• no-mistakes (TUI) — run after making changes (no commit required); a wizard handles branch creation, commit, and push, then attaches to the run; -y flag automates the whole flow
• /no-mistakes (agent skill) — installed for Claude Code and other agents via no-mistakes init; lets a coding agent do a task and gate it, or gate existing committed work headlessly

Agent Compatibility

no-mistakes is designed to be agent-agnostic. The README lists explicit support for claude, codex, rovodev, opencode, pi, copilot, and any ACP-compatible target via acpx. The /no-mistakes skill drives no-mistakes axi, a non-interactive interface to the same approval flow, so agents can run the full pipeline without a human at the keyboard until a judgment call is needed.
