Getting Started

OCNexus automates the path from GitHub issue to merged pull request. Here is how to get up and running in just a few steps.

How do I create an OCNexus account?

Get started by choosing OCNexus Starter (Forge) or OCNexus Pro (Forge and Factory).

How do I connect my GitHub repository?

From the OCNexus dashboard, click New Project and select a GitHub repository. OCNexus installs a GitHub App that listens for new issues and has permission to create branches and pull requests.

How do I report a bug or request a feature?

Create a GitHub issue in your connected repo. Describe the bug or feature in plain language. OCNexus picks it up automatically and starts the pipeline.

How do I review and merge the fix?

OCNexus opens a pull request with the implementation. Review the changes, approve, and merge.


The Pipeline

Every issue runs through a 7-phase pipeline. Each phase is logged in the project journal for full auditability.

Phase 1: Classify

Determines if the issue is a bug, feature, or question. Routes accordingly.

Phase 2: Discover

Scans your codebase for relevant files, dependencies, imports, and context.

Phase 3: Spec

Writes a detailed implementation specification with file-level changes and rationale.

Phase 4: Implement

The change is implemented and tested, producing clean, production-ready diffs that follow your existing code style.

Phase 5: Review

An automated quality gate scans for syntax errors, security issues, style violations, and logical inconsistencies.

Phase 6: CI

Runs your existing test suite. If CI fails, the fix is automatically re-routed through the pipeline.

Phase 7: PR

Opens a clean pull request with full context, linked to the original issue.

Quality checks

Every change is automatically checked for errors, security issues, and style problems before it's proposed to you.

  • Syntax and compilation errors
  • Security vulnerabilities (injection, XSS, hardcoded secrets)
  • Style and linting violations
  • Logical inconsistencies with the spec
  • Test coverage gaps

Human Gate

Not everything should be auto-merged. The Human Gate pauses the pipeline for changes that touch:

  • Authentication and authorization logic
  • Database migrations and schema changes
  • Infrastructure and deployment configuration
  • Security-sensitive code paths
  • Payment and billing logic

These changes are flagged for manual review. You approve or reject from the dashboard or the PR itself.


FAQ

What is OCNexus?

OCNexus is an AI senior developer that ships and maintains complete SaaS products. It replaces the engineering work a founder would otherwise hire a team for — describe what you want built, or connect the codebase you already have, and OCNexus does the work end to end.

What is the difference between OCNexus Forge and OCNexus Factory?

Forge is included in OCNexus Starter and OCNexus Pro. Factory is included in OCNexus Pro. OCNexus Starter: $50/mo · 5,000 credits every month (resets every billing cycle; unused included credits are not carried forward). OCNexus Pro: $200/mo · 10,000 credits every month (resets every billing cycle; unused included credits are not carried forward) · Hosting for your apps is paid from credits based on each app's actual usage.

What does OCNexus Factory build and deploy?

Describe the app you want and OCNexus Factory plans it, writes the code, tests it, and deploys it — fully autonomously, with no manual infrastructure setup. When the app goes live, it graduates automatically into Forge maintenance.

How does approval work for changes OCNexus makes?

Forge is included in Starter and Pro; Factory is included in Pro.

How much does OCNexus cost?

OCNexus Starter: $50/mo · 5,000 credits every month (resets every billing cycle; unused included credits are not carried forward). OCNexus Pro: $200/mo · 10,000 credits every month (resets every billing cycle; unused included credits are not carried forward) · Hosting for your apps is paid from credits based on each app's actual usage. Need more? Top up anytime: $25 for 2,500 credits, $50 for 5,000, $100 for 10,000. Purchased top-up credits do not expire. Failed runs and runs killed by the watchdog get a full refund and the unspent reserve is released. An explicit project cancel also refunds. See the pricing page for full details.

Is my code safe, and is there a warranty?

Yes. Code is processed in isolated, ephemeral containers and nothing is stored after the work completes; all connections are encrypted. Every subscription also includes a free warranty covering defects in OCNexus-written code versus the agreed spec.

Can I use my own API keys?

Yes. BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys) is a platform principle, not a plan perk — swap in your own provider keys and OCNexus skips the inference markup. The platform fee stays the same.
