Research new GitHub issues with Agenty
Turn an issue into a focused web-research task before it disappears into the backlog.
Trigger
New Issue Created
Triggers when a new issue is created in a GitHub repository. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues produce events. Results can be filtered by labels, assignee, creator, and mentioned user. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, comment count, creator details, timestamps, and direct links to the issue on GitHub.
Action
Start Agent Job
Tool to start a new agent job. use when you need to trigger execution of an existing agent.
Why this helps
A promising issue often needs market context, but switching to research breaks the engineering flow.
- Captures research while the request is fresh
- Reduces tab switching
- Gives planning a useful evidence trail
