Comment-Triggered Workflows

Comment-triggered workflows respond to slash commands typed in GitHub conversations. They enable ChatOps patterns where team members interact with AI agents through natural commands like /review, /deploy, or /analyze.

When to Use Comment-Triggered Workflows

• Interactive assistance: Code review helpers, analysis on demand
• Controlled automation: Human decides when workflow runs
• Context-aware responses: AI acts on specific issue/PR context
• Team collaboration: Shared commands for common tasks
