Turn documentation gap DMs into repository findings
A private concern about missing docs becomes a grounded analysis of the repository.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Ask question
Ask any question about a GitHub repository and get an AI-powered, context-grounded response. Args: repoName: GitHub repository or list of repositories (max 10) in owner/repo format question: The question to ask about the repository
Why this helps
Documentation gaps are reported privately and then disappear without a clear investigation path.
- Capture documentation concerns
- Clarify what is missing
- Create actionable follow-up context
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Devin MCP once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation for documentation gap DMs.
- 3Describe the outcome: ask Devin what repository documentation exists for the named area and summarize likely gaps.
- 4Pick Direct Message Received as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real documentation concern.
Questions about this workflow
Can Devin prove a gap exists?
It can summarize available repository context; any missing history or external documentation must be supplied by the user.
Can this handle several repositories?
Yes. Ask Devin to compare up to ten named repositories.
