The usual loop looks like this: push a PR, wait for checks, see issues, go back to your IDE, push again.

It works, but it’s slow and it breaks focus. We wanted a way to catch the same issues earlier, while you’re still in the flow.

Today we’re launching the cubic CLI.

Lightweight cubic reviews

The CLI runs a lightweight version of cubic’s review on your local changes.

Workflow:

1. Install the CLI with npm i -g @cubic-dev-ai/cli

2. Run cubic review

3. Get issues in your terminal

4. For each issue, cubic generates a fix prompt you can paste into Cursor, Copilot, or whatever you use

It also syncs your repo’s rules and settings, so it behaves like your cubic reviews in GitHub.

When it’s useful

• Pre-push sanity checks

• Faster iteration without waiting for CI

• Fix prompts you can hand to your coding assistant instead of rewriting by hand
