What does this automation do?
A new issue is reviewed by an agent that knows your codebase conventions, which flags duplicates and missing repro steps before a human opens it.
What can you do with it?
- Catch duplicate reports before two people debug the same thing
- Ask for the missing repro steps at report time, not three days later
- Keep triage quality steady as the backlog grows
The Steps
This automation runs in 3 steps:
- When GitHub — New Issue
- Then Taskade AI — Ask an agent ("Bug Warden")
- Then GitHub — Create Comment
What makes this different from a Zapier-style flow?
The "Bug Warden" step is not a one-off model call. It is a Taskade AI agent that knows your codebase conventions and every open issue, remembers which reports turned out to be duplicates, so every run builds on the last one instead of starting from an empty prompt.
A stateless "ask the model" step forgets everything the moment it returns. An agent keeps its knowledge and its memory between runs, carries its own tools, and can be handed work by other automations.
Who is this automation for?
Built for engineering teams with a noisy issue tracker. A new issue is reviewed by an agent that knows your codebase conventions, which flags duplicates and missing repro steps before a human opens it.
How do you set it up?
- Open the "Automations" tab in your workspace.
- Click ➕ Add automation, then start from scratch.
- Add the trigger "New Issue" from GitHub.
- Add the action "Ask an agent" from Taskade AI. Point it at an agent called "Bug Warden".
- Add the action "Create Comment" from GitHub.
- Enable the toggle in the top-right corner to activate the automation.
