freebot

freebot is a lightweight GitHub workflow bot designed to help teams manage issues and pull requests using command comments and simple automations. It introduces a plugin system that listens to repository events and executes predefined actions after passing configurable preconditions. Typical commands allow maintainers to ping teammates, update statuses, and trigger notifications to external systems like Slack, which encourages consistent triage without leaving GitHub. The configuration model maps users to notification channels so targeted prompts can be issued directly from issue threads. Plugins such as “notify” and “status” demonstrate how common coordination chores can be scripted and repeated. By keeping logic in small, auditable plugins, freebot fits neatly into existing repositories and team habits.
