Can it work with different merge strategies?

Yes. Can set: squash (all commits → one line), rebase (clean history), merge (keep history). Per-branch rules: main = squash, develop = merge.

Can it manage semantic versioning?

Yes. Agent can parse commits (conventional commits: feat:, fix:, BREAKING:) and auto-bump version: feat → minor, fix → patch, BREAKING → major.

Can it create changelog?

Yes. Auto-generated from commits (or PR descriptions). Categorizes: Features, Fixes, Breaking Changes. Can also add manual sections if needed.

Can it publish to NPM automatically?

Yes, if repo = npm package. Agent can: bump version, create tag, publish to NPM. Needs API token in secrets, and branch protection (no random merge).

Can it sync with Jira/Linear?

Yes. If PR description contains 'Closes JIRA-123' → agent can go to Jira and close ticket. Or vice-versa: if Jira issue marked done → create GitHub PR template.

Can it protect main branch?

Yes. Agent can enforce: require PR review before merge, require CI pass, require up-to-date branch (no merge if diverged from main), dismiss stale reviews.

Q: Can it auto-approve PR without human review?

Optionally, but risky. For simple changes (docs, CI config) — can. For code changes — better require human approval. Configurable per branch: main needs human, develop can auto-approve if CI passes.

Agent manages GitHub workflows: reviews PR (code quality, tests), merges when ok, creates release notes, publishes versions, closes issues auto. Can also: verify CI passes, manage branch protection, archive old branches. $19/mo.

What's eating your time

PR process slow: must manually merge, then create release, update changelog, many manual steps

CI integration weak: PR merges even if CI fails, then product breaks

Issues started and abandoned: no systematic tracking of completed work

Release notes manual: version bump, changelog update, tag creation, release description — all by hand, risk inconsistency

Capabilities

What your AI agent can do

Auto PR review

Agent catches new PR: reads changes, checks: title follows convention, description present, tests added, no obvious bugs. Can approve or request changes.

Auto merge when ready

When all checks pass (CI green, code review ok, no conflicts) → agent can auto-merge PR. Optional: squash/rebase/merge (configurable per branch).

Auto create releases

After merge to main agent can auto: bump version (semver: major/minor/patch), create git tag, publish release on GitHub with auto-generated release notes (based on commits + pull requests).

Manage branches and cleanup

Agent can: delete merged branches auto, archive old branches, enforce branch protection (require PR reviews, require CI pass), check staleness (1+ weeks no updates → suggest close).

Auto-close issues

When PR merged and linked to issue (mentioned in PR body) → agent can auto-close issue. Or if issue tagged 'completed' → archive from backlog.

How it works

Get started in a few steps

PR created

Developer creates PR to main (or any watched branch). Fills title, description, references issue if any (e.g. 'Closes #123'). Agent sees PR immediately.

Auto review

Agent analyzes PR: checks title format, description quality, changes (tests added? not too big?), CI status. Can approve or request changes with comment.

CI and human review

GitHub Actions run tests (auto). Human code reviewer (or agent if configured) reads, comments. When all ok: approvals + CI green.

Auto merge

When all conditions ready (approvals, CI green, no conflicts) → agent merges PR (squash or regular, configurable). Can also delete branch after merge auto.

Release and issue closure

If commit landed on main → agent can: create release (bump version, tag, release notes), publish to NPM/registry, auto-close linked issues. Notifies Slack about update.
