Natural language¶
With agent instructions active (AGENTS.md, Cursor rule, Copilot, …) describe work in plain language — no need to memorize CLI syntax.
| You say | Agent does |
|---|---|
| "Open an issue for the Safari login bug" | create with bug label |
| "Track bug: API returns 500 on /users" | check duplicates, then create |
| "Create GitHub task for dark mode" | create with task label |
| "List open issues" | list |
| "Comment on issue #15: fix in PR #99" | comment 15 |
| "Close issue #8, resolved" | close 8 |
| "Import issues from manifest" | import --dry-run then --apply |
| "Apply labels on the repo" | labels --apply |
Italian works too:
| Tu dici | L'agente fa |
|---|---|
| «Apri issue per il bug del login su Safari» | create con label bug |
| «Elenca le issue aperte» | list |
| «Chiudi issue #8, risolto» | close 8 |
