PR comments

Comment @tembo on any pull request to request changes. Works in the main thread or as inline review comments on specific lines. Tembo reads the feedback, updates the code, and pushes new commits.

@tembo Please add error handling to this function

Works on PRs created by Tembo and PRs created by your team.

Issues

Comment @tembo on any issue to start implementation. Tembo reads the issue title and description, then opens a PR.

@tembo Implement the API endpoint described in this issue

Agents

See Agents for available GitHub event triggers.

PR reviews

Reviews pull requests for bugs, security issues, and code quality. Leaves inline comments automatically when a PR is opened.

Enrich issues

Adds codebase context to new GitHub issues, helping agents and teammates understand the relevant code before starting work.

Failed workflows

Detects GitHub Actions failures and opens fix PRs automatically.

Advanced

Attribution

By default, PRs and commits are made under the Tembo bot account. To attribute them to your GitHub user instead, connect your personal GitHub account in your Tembo user settings.

Signed commits

All commits in Tembo PRs are automatically signed and verified with a “Verified” badge in GitHub. No configuration needed.

Merge or close actions

Tembo can merge or close a pull request through GitHub tool calls. If a merge or close action is requested while another Tembo job is already running on that pull request, the agent rejects the request. Wait for the active job to finish, then try again.

Repositories not appearing

Wait 2-5 minutes for initial sync. If they still don’t show, click the sync button on the GitHub integration card. Check that you granted Tembo access during installation and that you have permission to install GitHub Apps for your organization.

@tembo not responding

Make sure you’re using @tembo (lowercase) and that the repository is activated in Integrations.

PRs not being created

Check that the repository is activated and there isn’t already an open PR for the same issue.
