Chunk by CircleCI

Validation that keeps up with your agents

Chunk sidecars run lightweight checks in a clean cloud environment while your agent is still working. Catch failures before the push. Ship cleaner. Move faster.

$ brew install CircleCI-Public/circleci/chunk && chunk init

Get started with Chunk sidecars

  • Sync local code to a Linux microVM and runs your tests against it
  • Keep your agent on the rails with hooks and deterministic feedback
  • Works with Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI agent

AI powered

AI infra for agentic development

AI generates complex code fast. Validation needs to keep pace. Chunk sidecars catch failures before the push, so CI stays clean for the integration and release work that follows.

01

Inner loop validation

Chunk sidecars run alongside agents before any commit or push. Auto-detects your stack, fires validation hooks when the agent pauses, and returns 30x faster than your CI pipeline.

02

Outer loop automation

Chunk Tasks monitors, troubleshoots, and optimizes your CI pipelines autonomously. Resolves failures, reduces flaky tests, and keeps delivery moving without slowing your agents down.

03

Compounding efficiency

Validation that catches issues early means fewer retries, less rework, and less unnecessary context fed back to the agent. 5x fewer tokens spent. 30x more compute efficient than a full pipeline run.
