Safety
Letting someone into your product should feel safe.
Access is something you grant, not something experts have. You always know who has access, what they can reach, why, since when, and how to end it.
Control
Your code stays under your control.
For development Patches, connect only the GitHub repository you want to share. Experts never receive access just for viewing your request.
- Only selected repositories
- Access only after approval
- Changes isolated from production
- Clear access history
- Revoke access at any time

Repository access is arranged with you after you choose an expert. Nothing is connected while your request is being matched.
Protection
A protected way to let someone into your product.
Every Patch starts with a Patch Agreement — a shared, recorded understanding of what happens and what doesn’t.
Before project access is released
- Client accepts the Patch Agreement
- Expert accepts the Patch Agreement
- Scope and repository are recorded
- Confidentiality and IP obligations apply
- Access is logged
The Patch Agreement sets clear obligations for both sides. It reduces risk — it isn’t a substitute for your own legal advice.
