Examining code changes to assess behavior, design and risks.

## [Pullboard coordinates AI agents with specs and independent verification](<https://sebastien.rigaux.be/en/tech-watch/links/pullboard-coordinates-ai-agents-with-specs-and-independent-verification>)

Pullboard coordinates development agents around approved specifications: each claims an item in its own worktree, passes a test gate, then another agent verifies the commit before it is accepted. Rules and activity stay in the repository, with a local board instead of a hosted service.

Its workflow puts concrete controls around agent work: approved requirements are frozen when an item is claimed, lanes restrict writable paths, and a state machine shared by the commands, interface, and documentation governs each transition.

## [The Website Specification: practical technical criteria for websites](<https://sebastien.rigaux.be/en/tech-watch/links/the-website-specification-practical-technical-criteria-for-websites>)

This specification brings together 178 topics covering a website’s technical responsibilities, including HTML, accessibility, security, performance, SEO, privacy and resilience. Each topic explains why it matters and how to implement it, with items marked as required, recommended, optional or to avoid.

A yes/no checklist turns those criteria into an audit that teams can revisit after fixes. Grounded in primary sources and platform-agnostic, the specification is also available to agents through a read-only MCP server, with no authentication required for its reference tools.

## [A front-end checklist with more than 350 quality rules](<https://sebastien.rigaux.be/en/tech-watch/links/a-front-end-checklist-with-more-than-350-quality-rules>)

Front-End Checklist organizes more than 350 rules into review workflows for accessibility, CSS, performance, security, privacy, and SEO. It offers guided launch and audit checklists, and exposes the same standards to agents through MCP for more structured code reviews.

## [Map a repository to guide code reviews with Code Review Graph](<https://sebastien.rigaux.be/en/tech-watch/links/map-a-repository-to-guide-code-reviews-with-code-review-graph>)

Code Review Graph builds a local graph of a codebase and exposes it through MCP and CLI tools. It aims to give agents relevant context without loading the entire repository every time.

## [Automate pull request reviews with GenAIScript](<https://sebastien.rigaux.be/en/tech-watch/links/automate-pull-request-reviews-with-genaiscript>)

The example reads a Git diff, submits it to a model and posts comments in GitHub. The guide moves from a local script to a GitHub Action for workflow integration.
