What Computer does

Computer is a bot meant to be the single entry point for managing GitHub issues. It helps pick the next piece of work, names new work items so they do not clash with existing ones, hands tasks to worker bots, and reviews pull requests. It suits people who run issue-driven development and want one bot to coordinate the queue.

• Suggests which piece of work to take up next
• Names new work items so they do not collide with existing ones
• Hands individual tasks off to worker bots
• Reviews pull requests
• Leaves merging to a human by default
