Engine works directly inside your workflow tools
By tagging Engine in an issue using a label or tagging Engine in a comment @engine-labs (Linear and Trello only), you can trigger Engine to start work directly from your workflow tools.
Engine can ingest images from your issues
Engine will ingest all context in an issue or ticket before starting work. This includes images and comments.
If you add context later, re-trigger the task to provide this information to Engine.
There are two ways to start a task:
Tag Engine
Tag Engine in an issue and Engine will automatically start work. You can find repo specific labels on the repositories page in Engine. It will typically be engine-[your_repo_name].
Engine will comment in the issue when it has finished working.
To retrigger a task using tags, remove and re-add the tag.
@engine-labs
You can tag @engine-labs in an issue and Engine will pick it up or restart work if it’s an existing task. This will include all updated information in the issue.
This feature is only available on Linear and Trello.
When Engine has finished working it will add the result as a comment in your issues.
If this has resulted in the successful creation of a pull request, engine will provide a link to it.
Autopilot enables Engine to automatically pick up and attempt tickets and issues from your workflow tool once a day.
Autopilot is only available on select plans. You can enable autopilot from the workflow integration page in the Engine app.
Autopilot can be set to plan mode or task mode:
Individual repos can be set to plan mode.
Plan mode adds a comment to the issue describing Engine’s planned implementation and any clarifying questions.
To get Engine to start on implementation, relabel the issue with the Engine tag or tag @engine-labs in a comment.
