GitHub

Connect GitHub to manage issues and PRs, search code, review changes, and automate development workflows with coding agents.

Setup

GitHub supports both:

  • User connection: Personal connection for reading and writing (required for change proposals and PR creation)
  • Organization channel: Enables @Stilla mentions in repo issues and PRs

Issue & PR management

  • Create issues: Specify title, description, assignees, labels, and issue types
  • Update issues: Change status, labels, assignees, or description
  • Comment: Add review feedback, context from meetings, or status updates
  • Close/reopen: Manage issue and PR lifecycle

Code search

Search across your connected repositories:

  • Code: Find specific functions, patterns, or configurations
  • Commits: Search commit messages and history
  • Issues & PRs: Find by keyword, author, label, status, or date
  • Discussions: Search repository discussions

Repository exploration

Stilla can browse and read repository contents:

  • Navigate directory structures
  • Read individual files
  • View commit history and diffs
  • Understand codebase architecture

Code review

Stilla performs structured code reviews on pull requests:

  • Reads the full diff
  • Analyzes for bugs, security issues, performance problems, and style concerns
  • Posts detailed review comments organized by severity
  • References relevant context from Linear issues, meeting notes, and documentation

PR creation

Coding agents push changes to branches and create pull requests with:

  • Clear, descriptive titles
  • Detailed descriptions of what changed and why
  • Proper base branch targeting
  • Draft or ready-for-review status

Channel-based triggers (playbooks)

Configure custom agent behaviors for specific repositories:

  • Auto-review all new PRs with your team's checklist
  • Triage new issues by labeling and assigning based on content
  • Notify relevant team members when specific files are changed
