Directing the team
Your team pulls in approved work on its own — you usually don't have to tell them to start. But when you want them on something right now, or out of order, you have one command.
Comment @agentforce on any issue and the team starts on it immediately —
no waiting for the next cycle.
One handle, not five names
You met Jules, Alex, Matt, and the rest — but you don't have to remember who does
what. @agentforce is the only handle you need. Drop it in a comment on the
issue and the right teammate (usually Alex, your developer) picks it up.
@agentforce please start on this one
The word @agentforce anywhere in the comment is enough — the rest is just a note
to yourself. A bare @agentforce works too.
When to use it
Most days you won't need this — the team works a steady cycle and picks up approved
issues on its own. Reach for @agentforce when you want to:
- Jump the queue — start an issue now instead of waiting for the next cycle.
- Prioritize — point the team at the one thing that matters most today.
- Kick off something specific — you filed an issue and you want it built next.
What happens next
- You comment
@agentforceon the issue. - Within a minute or two, your developer opens a draft pull request and gets to work — you'll see it in the activity feed.
- It goes through review like any other change and lands when you approve it.
Good to know
- Issues, not pull requests.
@agentforcestarts work on an issue. To ask for changes on an open pull request, just reply in the thread — the team reads your comments there too. - It's yours to use. Only you and people with access to your repository can start
the team this way. A random visitor commenting
@agentforceon a public issue does nothing — a deliberate safety guard. - You still approve.
@agentforcestarts the work; it never merges anything. Nothing reaches your main branch until you say so.
