Someone writes a card. Then it waits — for a human with time to read it, ask the obvious questions, and turn it into actual work.
What it does
- A card lands on your board → the AI reads it against your codebase and posts a plain-English analysis
- You reply in the comments → it answers, flags what's missing, agrees the scope with you
- Move the card to your build column → it opens a pull request
- Same agent also watches to-dos, messages, docs & files, check-ins and the schedule — you switch on the handlers you want
What it does not do
It never moves your cards, merges the PR, or closes anything. It comments and proposes. Your team decides.
This is the pattern the whole series is built on — the one I run on real projects.
Setup
