Patricia works your GitHub.
Ask her in Slack. She reads the PRs and CI, triages the issues, and flags a red build the moment it turns, while merging stays your call.
@Pati where does the Northwind site build stand, anything blocked?
Five PRs open on the Northwind repo. Two need a human, three are clean:
- PR #214 checkout refactor: CI is red, the e2e suite failed on the payment step, author is Maya
- PR #219 blog schema: 2 approvals, all checks green, ready to merge whenever you say
- Three docs PRs are green and trivial. Issue #188 has sat untriaged for 4 days, I can label and assign it
Triage #188 to Maya and flag the red build in the thread. Don't merge anything yet.
Done. #188 is labeled bug, priority high, assigned to Maya, and I dropped a comment on #214 pointing at the failing payment step with a link to the run. Nothing merged, that stays your call.
Patricia + GitHub
What she does in GitHub.
Real actions she takes on your say-so, not a list of API endpoints.
Read PR and build status at a glance
Open pull requests, their reviews, commits, and the workflow runs behind each one, summarized in the channel so you know what is ready and what is red without opening the repo.
Flag failing checks the moment they turn
When CI goes red on a client build she names the PR, the job that failed, and the author, and drops it in the channel before it blocks the branch for a day.
Triage issues so nothing rots
She labels new issues, assigns the right owner, and links related work as sub-issues, so a bug report does not sit untouched while a client waits.
Comment where the work is
She leaves the context on the issue or PR itself, a repro step, a link to the failing run, the decision from the Slack thread, so the trail lives next to the code.
Keep the release view honest
What is merged, what is waiting on review, and what is stuck behind a failing check, per repo, so a status update to the client reflects the branch and not a guess.
Unblock a stuck fork run
When an outside contributor's PR needs a workflow run approved to even start, she can release it on your say-so, so a first-time contribution is not stuck waiting on nobody.

Mention @Pati with the question. Reading and triage run on their own; merging or releasing waits for your yes.
@Pati What is the state of the Northwind repo, and is any build red?
On it.
FAQ
GitHub questions, answered.
What can Patricia actually do in GitHub?
She reads pull requests, commits, and workflow run status, triages issues with labels, assignees, and sub-issues, comments on issues and PRs, and can approve a queued workflow run for a fork PR. Reading and triage are instant; anything that ships code waits for you.
Will she merge or push code on her own?
No. Merging, releasing, and anything that changes what ships to a client waits for your explicit yes in Slack. Reading status and triaging issues run on their own, that is the point.
Which GitHub plan do we need?
Any plan works. She connects through GitHub's official OAuth flow, the same way other approved apps do, and only sees the repositories you connect.
We keep a separate repo or org per client. Does that stay separate?
Yes, that is the setup she expects at an agency. Connect the repos you want her in and every client's code stays walled off from the rest.
What does the GitHub integration cost?
Nothing extra. Every integration is included, on every plan.
