Detail connects to your GitHub repositories and continuously scans your codebase for problems that are easy to miss in manual review — logic bugs, security vulnerabilities, unreachable code, and docs that no longer match the code they describe. Instead of waiting for issues to surface in production or during human review, you get a prioritized list of findings you can triage, resolve, or dismiss directly in the dashboard or via the API.

​
What Detail finds

  • Bugs — Logic errors, null pointer risks, incorrect conditions, and other code defects detected by Detail’s AI scanner across your entire repository history.
  • Security vulnerabilities — Issues flagged as potential security risks are surfaced separately so your team can prioritize them first.
  • Dead code — Functions, branches, and modules that are no longer reachable or referenced, cluttering your codebase and increasing maintenance burden.
  • Documentation drift — Comments and docs that have fallen out of sync with the code they describe, silently misleading the next developer who reads them.
  • Custom rules — A rules engine that lets Detail learn patterns specific to your codebase, so recurring mistakes are caught automatically on every future scan.
  • Mobile triage with Flow — Review and act on findings from your phone using the Detail Flow mobile experience, so nothing blocks your team when you’re away from your desk.

​
How it works

Connecting your codebase to Detail takes about five minutes, and scans run automatically from that point forward:
  1. Connect GitHub — Sign in at app.detail.dev with GitHub OAuth and install the Detail GitHub App on the repositories you want to monitor.
  2. Scans run automatically — Detail scans your primary branch on a nightly schedule. You can also trigger an on-demand scan at any time from the dashboard or via the API.
  3. Triage your findings — Each finding appears in the dashboard with a title, summary, file location, and the commit that introduced it. Mark findings as resolved, dismiss them with a reason, or link them to issues in Linear, Jira, GitHub, or Asana.
  4. Fix and repeat — As your team ships code, Detail re-scans and surfaces new findings, so your bug backlog stays current without any manual effort.
