Testing agentic GitHub rules across the most active open-source repositories

We’ve started testing Watchflow’s rule engine across some of the most active GitHub repositories:

• vscode

• langchain

• react

• pytorch

• kubernetes

Only vscode consistently enforced strong governance - thanks to Microsoft’s internal GitHub Policy Service, purpose-built for their workflows.

For the rest, static branch rules weren’t enough - too shallow, too easy to bypass.

That’s exactly why we built Watchflow: agentic GitHub guardrails that dynamically enforce your own intent for PRs, pushes, deployments, and more.
