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?

Sign up with your GitHub account and join the beta waitlist. Once you're in, choose Forge (fix & maintain what you have) or Factory (build something new) to get started.

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.


Plans and Usage

Your plan comes with room to build several apps a month; add usage anytime. You only pay for what you approve — failed runs are never billed.

PlanPriceUsageWhat it's for
Forge$100/moUsage billed as you goFind & fix work against your existing repo
Factory$200/moIncludes ForgeBuilds a new SaaS end to end

All prices above are beta — subject to change. Usage is billed as you go; no metering math to track.


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?

OCNexus Forge keeps an existing codebase healthy: connect a repo and OCNexus finds what's broken, fixes it, and proves the fix landed. OCNexus Factory builds a brand-new SaaS end to end from a plain-English description, and includes everything in Forge. There is no tier ladder — just two entry doors into the same product.

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?

OCNexus Forge is merge-gated by you: every fix is opened for review and only lands once you approve it. OCNexus Factory runs autonomously to build and deploy, and usage is only billed once a build step is deploy-verified live and passing — not on a completion claim alone.

How much does OCNexus cost?

OCNexus Forge is $100/mo. OCNexus Factory is $200/mo and includes Forge. Your plan comes with room to build several apps a month; add usage anytime. Usage is billed as you go; no metering math to track. 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.
