The job: you can choose the integration that matches the source of work

Show why this lesson detail matters: "You can choose the integration that matches the source of work."

Step 1 of 3

The job: you can choose the integration that matches the source of work. Start with this check: The integration carries the right issue, PR or alert context. Keep it small enough to check the result yourself instead of taking the summary on trust.

GitHub integration, PR review-comment trigger

One path end to end — a PR review comment becomes a fix, in GitHub
GitHub integration, PR review-comment trigger
SayReviewers keep leaving 'please fix' comments on PRs, and someone copies each one into a Cursor chat by hand. Which line, which diff, the comment's context gets lost on the way.
DoStart where the work already lives. This work arrives as a review comment on a GitHub PR, so the surface that keeps its context is the GitHub integration, not a fresh chat you paste into.
DoMatch the trigger to the source. GitHub can start Cursor from a PR review comment, so the comment kicks off a cloud agent that already holds the PR branch, the diff and the comment thread.
SeeThe agent opens on the right branch with the review comment as its task, in an isolated cloud VM. No one re-explained the change.
DoSet the boundary before it runs. Confirm the agent posts under an identity a reviewer can recognize as the bot, and that its repo permissions cover this repo and no more. An agent that reads like a teammate but isn't is how a bad change slips past review.
SeeReviewers can tell agent commits from human ones, and the agent can't reach repos outside this job.
DoWatch the result, and the no-op. The agent pushes a commit answering the comment, or it posts why it did nothing when the comment isn't actionable. Either way the outcome lands back on the PR thread, and the notification goes to the reviewer, not the whole channel.
SeeThe fix, or the reason there is no fix, shows up where the reviewer already is.
