AI development assistant for repos and issue triage

Answer code questions, open PRs, triage issues, and draft planning output — without giving AI full access to everything.

Development visibility

Review repo work, issue triage, and approvals in one place

The Bridge keeps code questions, issue routing, and higher-risk write actions visible so engineering teams stay in control.

Step 01

Answers repo and product questions

Help the team understand code, past decisions, and likely causes faster without digging through everything by hand.

Code-reading tools with repo context plus logbook retrieval for past technical decisions and notes.

Step 02

Prepares branches and PRs for review

Do the setup and draft work for engineering changes while keeping write actions behind review.

Branch start, commit, and PR-open flows with approval gates before higher-impact changes.

Step 03

Triage incoming issues cleanly

Summarize bug reports, suggest routing, and make ticket queues easier for the team to manage.

Issue-system integration with label, assignment, and structured triage output tied to a careful ticket-routing policy.

Drafts technical planning output

Turn unclear work into a first pass plan the team can react to instead of starting from zero.

Structured planning output supported by saved runbooks and repeatable planning patterns in the logbook.

Stays current before it answers

Check the repo state first so answers and drafts are based on current code instead of stale assumptions.

Repo sync and branch check flows to keep working context aligned with the latest source state.

Example prompts

Example prompts for an AI development assistant

These are the kinds of repo and engineering tasks a team can run once the assistant has repo access, saved runbooks, and approval-aware write actions.

  • Explain this part of the repo and point out the files I should read first.

  • Summarize this issue, suggest likely owners, and draft a clean triage note.

  • Prepare a small code change on a branch and stop before opening the PR.

  • Write a first-pass implementation plan for this ticket using the current repo state.

  • Compare these two approaches and list the main technical tradeoffs.

  • Escalate this change to a human reviewer with a short handoff and open questions.

Dev FAQ

Development helper questions

Can it push code to production?

No. It can open PRs and branches, but merging and deployment require your team's approval. Write actions are always gated.

Which repo providers does it support?

GitHub via native App integration. The agent can read repos, create branches, commit changes, and open PRs and issues.

Can it triage incoming tickets?

Yes. With Linear integration, it can read issues, add labels, and route tickets — with approval before any write action.
