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.

​
Starting a Task

There are two ways to start a task:

​
Finishing a Task

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

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:

  • Plan mode - Engine will automatically create a plan inside the ticket for your approval. Relabel the ticket with the Engine tag or tag @engine-labs in a comment to get Engine to start writing code.
  • Task mode - Engine will automatically start work in a new branch on your repo. React to Engine’s comment with a emoji and Engine will open a PR.

​
Plan 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.
