reviewGOOSE

PRs that merge in minutes, not days.

The Problem

Industry average PR merge time is 4.5 days. Most of that is waiting—unclear whose turn it is, missed notifications, context switching.

The Solution

reviewGOOSE tracks whose turn it is and notifies the right person at the right time.

How It Works

graph LR
    A[GitHub PR Event] --> B[reviewGOOSE]
    B --> C{Turn Detection}
    C -->|Author needs to act| D[Notify Author]
    C -->|Reviewers need to act| E[Notify Reviewers]
    C -->|Ready to merge| F[Notify Author]
    D --> G[Slack/Discord/Desktop]
    E --> G
    F --> G
    B --> H[Dashboard Update]
  1. GitHub App monitors your PRs
  2. Turn detection determines who needs to act: fix tests, review, address feedback, merge
  3. Smart notifications via Slack DM, channel post, or desktop app
  4. Dashboard shows PRs organized by "waiting on you" vs "waiting on others"

Turn Detection Logic

reviewGOOSE determines whose turn it is by analyzing:

  • CI status: Are tests passing or failing?
  • Review state: Approved, changes requested, or pending?
  • PR state: Draft, ready for review, or approved?
  • Merge status: Mergeable or blocked?
