Use Cases

Action Use Cases

When you ask CORE to perform GitHub tasks, it uses MCP tools to execute your requests:

Automated Issue Management

Scenario: Automatically create and track GitHub issues from other tools

"Create a GitHub issue in the 'core' repo titled 'Add user authentication'
with the description 'Need to implement OAuth2 authentication'
and assign it to @username with labels 'feature' and 'high-priority'"

The agent will use create_issue to create the issue and can follow up with create_issue_comment to add additional context or use update_issue to modify details.

Pull Request Review Workflow

Scenario: Review and merge pull requests directly from your IDE

"Show me all open pull requests in the main repository,
then review PR #123 and merge it if tests are passing"

The agent will:

Use list_pull_requests to fetch open PRs
Use get_pull_request to get PR details
Check list_workflow_runs for CI status
Use merge_pull_request to merge after verification

Code Search and Analysis

Scenario: Find specific code patterns across your repositories

"Search for all files using the deprecated API endpoint
'/api/v1/auth' across all my repositories"

The agent will use search_code to find matching files and can use get_file_content to read the actual implementations for analysis.

Release Management

Scenario: Automate release workflows

"Create a new release branch 'release-v2.0' from main,
update the version in package.json to 2.0.0,
and create a pull request for the release"

The agent will:

Use create_branch to create the release branch
Use create_or_update_file to update version files
Use create_pull_request to create the release PR
Use create_issue to track release tasks

Team Coordination

Scenario: Track team activity and respond to notifications

"Show me all issues assigned to me that were updated in the last 24 hours,
and mark all my notifications as read"

The agent will use list_issues with appropriate filters, list_notifications to keep you updated, and mark_all_notifications_read to clear your notifications.

CI/CD Pipeline Management

Scenario: Monitor and control GitHub Actions workflows

"Check the status of the latest workflow run on the main branch.
If it failed, rerun it"

The agent will:

Use list_workflow_runs to get recent runs
Use get_workflow_run to check status details
Use rerun_workflow if the run failed

Repository Setup Automation

Scenario: Quickly set up new repositories with standard configurations

"Create a new repository called 'my-new-project',
add a README, create labels for 'bug', 'feature', and 'documentation',
and set up a milestone for 'v1.0'"

The agent will:

Use create_repository to create the repo
Use create_or_update_file to add the README
Use create_label for each label
Use create_milestone for the v1.0 milestone

Code Review Automation

Scenario: Automated code review and feedback

"Review the latest PR in my repository, check for any TODO comments
in the changed files, and create review comments for each one"

The agent will:

Use list_pull_requests to get the latest PR
Use get_pull_request to get changed files
Use get_file_content to read files
Use create_pr_comment to add review comments

Proactive Use Cases

With webhooks enabled, CORE monitors GitHub 24/7 and acts automatically based on your instructions:

Auto-Triage New Issues

Trigger: New issue created with specific labelsAutomated Action: Assign to team member and add to project

"When a new issue is created with the 'bug' label,
automatically assign it to @devops-team,
add it to the 'Current Sprint' project,
and notify me on WhatsApp"

CORE monitors new issues and automatically routes them based on labels, keeping your team organized without manual triaging.

PR Review Notifications

Trigger: Pull request review requestedAutomated Action: Notify on preferred channel with context

"When I'm requested to review a PR,
send me a Slack DM with the PR title, description, and changed files summary"

Never miss review requests. CORE watches for review assignments and notifies you with full context on your preferred channel.

CI/CD Failure Alerts

Trigger: Workflow run fails on main branchAutomated Action: Create issue and escalate

"When a workflow fails on the main branch,
create a high-priority issue with the error logs,
assign it to the last committer,
and send an urgent notification to #engineering on Slack"

Instantly respond to build failures. CORE creates issues, assigns responsibility, and escalates critical failures automatically.

Release Tracking

Trigger: New release publishedAutomated Action: Extract changelog and notify stakeholders

"When a new release is published,
extract the changelog from the release notes,
save it to CORE memory with label 'releases',
and send a summary to #product-updates on Slack"

Keep everyone informed on releases. CORE tracks release activity, stores release notes, and broadcasts updates across channels.

Auto-Close Stale PRs

Trigger: PR updated after 30 days of inactivityAutomated Action: Add comment and close if inactive

"When a PR hasn't been updated in 30 days,
add a comment asking if it's still relevant,
and if no response in 7 days, close it with a standard message"

Maintain repository hygiene automatically. CORE monitors stale PRs and handles cleanup based on your rules.

Security Alert Response

Trigger: Dependabot security alert createdAutomated Action: Create issue and notify security team

"When a security vulnerability is detected,
create a critical-priority issue in the 'security-fixes' project,
notify the security team on Slack,
and add it to CORE memory for tracking"

Respond to security issues instantly. CORE escalates vulnerabilities, creates tracking issues, and notifies the right team members.
