Compare updated GitHub issues with earlier content
Turn issue edits into a concise signal instead of another full reread.
Trigger
Issue Updated
Triggers when an existing issue is updated in a GitHub repository. Monitors issues for any changes such as title edits, body edits, label changes, assignee changes, state transitions (opening, closing, reopening), milestone updates, and comment additions. Only pre-existing issues that receive updates are emitted; newly created issues are excluded. Pull requests are also excluded -- only true issues fire events.
Action
TEXT_COMPARE
Tool to compare two texts. use when you need to measure similarity between two final texts.
Why this helps
When an issue changes midstream, remembering what shifted can be harder than solving the work itself.
- Makes scope drift visible
- Reduces rereading
- Supports reliable follow-up

- 1Connect GitHub and Winston ai to Notis once.

Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
