What the problem is

You just noticed a UX bug during a demo. Instead of opening GitHub, finding the repo, writing a formatted issue, and assigning someone, you describe it in Slack. Zero creates the issue, adds labels, and assigns the right person. You never leave the conversation.

How Zero fixes it

Step 1: Connect your tools

GitHub

Required

OAuth connection to GitHub. Zero needs read/write access to create and manage issues.

Connect

Slack

Required

Zero reads your message and replies in the same thread.

Connect

Step 2: Ask Zero

@Zero create issue: pressing ESC in the schedule dialog closes it immediately even with unsaved edits. Should ask for confirmation first. Assign to Lancy. Label as bug, platform. Priority medium.

Zero parses the request

Zero understands the bug description, identifies the assignee, and infers appropriate labels (bug, platform) and priority from context.

Issue created on GitHub

Zero creates a properly formatted GitHub issue with a clear title, description, labels, and assignment, all from your natural-language Slack message.

Confirmation in Slack

Zero replies in the same thread with the issue number, title, assignee, and a direct link so you can verify without leaving Slack.

Tips for better results

●Include the assignee name. Zero matches Slack display names to GitHub usernames.

●Mention labels explicitly if you want specific ones, otherwise Zero infers from context.

●Works for feature requests too, just say "feature request" instead of "bug".
