Why this helps
During an incident, founders can lose focus switching between Slack updates and codebase exploration.
- Get an initial map of relevant repository areas.
- Help the team start investigation with shared context.
- Avoid duplicating early codebase searches across responders.

- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Use one instruction asking Devin to identify repository components relevant to incident details in channel messages.
