OpenAI Codex CLI AGENTS.md Included by adopt — run from repo root
Aider CONVENTIONS.md or /read AGENTS.md Load at session start

Manual use (no AI)

No agent required:

python scripts/github_issue.py create "Bug: login redirect" --labels bug
python scripts/github_issue.py list

Many teams adopt issuebeam for CLI + labels + templates first, then add agent rules per IDE.

Custom agents and CI

Any automation that runs Python can use issuebeam without an LLM:

python scripts/github_issue.py create "CI: flaky test on main" --labels bug,area-infra

For custom LLM agents:

  • Put AGENTS.md in system prompt or RAG context
  • Grant a shell tool scoped to the repo
  • Never pass the token through the model — use env vars only
