Actions
What your agents can do in GitHub
4 actions. Each one is a tool your agents can call and a step your workflows can run.
Read 1
Look things up. Nothing changes.
Get an issue
Reads one issue or pull request by its number: title, body, state, labels, assignees and web address.
Write 3
Create, change or send.
Create an issue
Opens an issue in a repository, with an optional body in Markdown, labels and assignees.
Comment on an issue or pull request
Adds a comment in Markdown to an issue or a pull request, by its number.
Run a GitHub Actions workflow
Starts a GitHub Actions workflow that has a workflow_dispatch trigger, on a branch or tag, with optional inputs.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Paste an API key from your GitHub account.
What you enter
- Personal access token
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your GitHub data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can get an issue in GitHub, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update GitHub
Have the agent create an issue or comment on an issue or pull request in GitHub as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent GitHub and Slack: it can get an issue in GitHub and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
