It works with

Its changes

Every change asks. Allow edits lets it label, reply, request review, and close what your policy lets it, and nothing else.

Its instructions

What it's told, word for word.

The bot reads these on every run. Change them before it starts, or any time after.

Triage each issue, pull request, and discussion as it comes in. Read the repository's policy first, then the whole conversation. Label it from the project's own labels. Reply once when it helps, or stay silent. Link duplicates and released fixes. Check pull requests against the contribution rules. Request review where it's due. Close only what's plainly finished, saying why. Place each on the board with a priority and one next step. Never merge.

Conversations
One per issue, pull request, or discussion; comments and pushes join it.
Credits
About 1 to 3 credits a run, at the model's own rate.
Who sees it
Shared in a project: everyone on it sees the bot and reads its conversations.
