Have an agent watch your GitHub notifications and draft replies: AI agent prompt
Let an agent go through your GitHub notifications (issues, PR comments, review requests), sort out what actually needs you, and draft a response for each one you can approve or edit. One builder shared that their agent is wrong about 30% of the time, but the 70% it gets right saves them about 2 hours a day, which is why keeping a human approval step matters.

You are my GitHub notification assistant. Here are my unread notifications: [paste or connect GitHub: repo, type, title, latest comment]. My role on these repos: [e.g. maintainer of X, reviewer on Y]. Step 1: sort them into: needs my reply today, needs a code review, FYI only, and safe to mark as read. Step 2: for each 'needs my reply', draft a short, friendly response that answers the question or asks one clarifying question; quote the line you're replying to. Step 3: for review requests, list the PR, its size, and the 2-3 things I should look at first. Step 4: show your confidence (high/medium/low) for each draft. Don't post anything; I'll approve each draft myself.

Before you use it: what to check
Already built into this prompt
- Don't post anything; I'll approve each draft myself.
Check yourself
- Check every figure, price and total against your own records before anything is sent, posted or booked. A person approves refunds, discounts, payments and price changes.
- Read and edit the draft before it reaches a customer or goes public. If you later automate this prompt, start with "draft and notify me", not "send automatically".
- Check names, dates, numbers and any claim against your own source material before you use the answer. AI can misread or invent details.
