What I Built Today
I added GitHub App integration into the Secrin.
Now, whenever someone merges a pull request in a connected repository, the webhook fires and triggers an update in the Knowledge Graph. This means the system can learn continuously from code changes instead of relying on manual ingestion or periodic sync.
The goal was simple: repositories evolve every day, often every hour, the knowledge base should evolve with them. This integration closes the loop between code written and knowledge stored.
Thought Process
I focused on deeper integration instead of one time imports.
Knowledge that does not update becomes stale, and stale knowledge leads to bad answers, especially when working with codebases that change often.
Using GitHub webhooks felt like the most direct and reliable path. Once a PR is merged, we instantly know. No polling, no unnecessary API load, no guess-based syncing.
It aligns with the idea of live context systems that reflect reality as it changes.
Example pseudo-flow:
PR Merged → GitHub Webhook → Handler → Parse Changes → Update KG
Small chain, fast feedback.
Problems I Faced
The tricky part was wiring the webhook processing cleanly.
GitHub sends a lot of metadata, and not all of it is relevant. Extracting only what matters for the Knowledge Graph requires structure.
Next iteration will focus on parsing file diffs more smartly not just storing events, but understanding them.
What I Learned Today
Live integrations compound value over time.
A system that updates itself is more powerful than one that needs human maintenance. Automation isn’t just speed, it’s memory, continuity, and reliability.
Also: shipping small pieces every day is better than delaying for perfection. When the integration works, new possibilities open up.
Tomorrow’s Plan
- Parse merged PR files and extract meaningful changes
- Insert extracted knowledge into the KG with context
- Add logs/observability to track update flow
