AI agent for GitHub
Connect GitHub so your OpenFactory agents can open issues, review pull requests, and triage your repositories on your behalf.
Connect GitHub and your OpenFactory agents can do the repository housekeeping that always slips: triaging new issues, asking for the missing repro steps, summarizing a pull request, and flagging the risky diff before a human ever opens it.
A concrete use case
Picture a repository triage agent. A new issue comes in with a vague title and no version info. Your agent reads it, labels it as a bug, and posts a friendly comment asking for the missing details and a repro. It links a related open issue it found. When a pull request lands, the same agent leaves a one-comment summary of what changed and flags that a migration file was touched without a test. Your maintainers start from signal instead of a cold inbox.
Example prompt
Paste this into console.openfactory.tech once GitHub is connected.
You are my repository triage agent with access to GitHub.
When a new issue is opened in my repo:
- Read it and label it (bug, feature, question, or needs-info).
- If key details are missing, post a friendly comment asking for them.
- Link any duplicate or related issues you find.
When a pull request is opened:
- Summarize what it changes in one comment.
- Flag obvious risks: missing tests, broad diffs, or touched migration files.How to connect GitHub
- Open the OpenFactory console and choose GitHub.
- Authorize it and pick the repositories it should reach.
- Give the right agent access and tell it what to triage and review.
GitHub pairs naturally with issue tracking and chat - see all integrations to connect the rest of your stack.
Frequently asked questions
What can an AI agent do in GitHub?
Once you connect GitHub, an OpenFactory agent can open and label issues, comment on issues and pull requests, summarize and review PRs, and triage incoming activity in the repositories you authorize.
Does the agent act under my identity?
The agent acts through the GitHub access you connect, so the issues it opens and the comments it leaves show up under the identity you authorize - visible in your repo's history like any other contributor.
Can I limit it to specific repositories?
Yes. You authorize GitHub once and scope the agent to the repositories it should work in, so it never touches projects you did not grant it access to.
Where does the connection live?
OpenFactory is self-hostable, so you can run it on your own infrastructure and keep your GitHub connection on hardware you control. The agent acts through the access you grant rather than copying your code elsewhere.
