How to Automate Bug Triage with Eigent
Turn daily bug reports into a prioritized list — check alerts, issues, failed checks, and chat reports, then run the sweep on a schedule.
What you need
- Eigent desktop app
- One or more connected sources (Sentry, Slack, GitHub, Linear)
Best for
- Teams that track bugs across Sentry alerts, Slack threads, Linear issues, and GitHub issues
- Triage workflows you want to run manually before scheduling as an automation
- On-call engineers who want a consolidated bug view at the start of each day
Starter Prompt
Run a bug triage sweep for [repo/service/team] covering the last [time window]. Use these sources: [@Sentry / @Slack / @Linear / @GitHub / none] Input sources: - Sentry: [project / alert link / none] - Slack: [channel / thread links / none] - Linear: [team / project / view / issue query / none] - GitHub: [repo / issue query / PR checks / none] - Other: [logs / support tickets / attached file / none] Output format: First, name any input source you could not access. Then return a prioritized list of bugs, sorted from P0 to P3. If you find no bugs, say: No qualifying bugs found. For each bug, include: - Priority: P0, P1, P2, or P3 - Title - Evidence (links or short citations) - Recommended next action Rules: - Do not post, create, assign, label, close, rerun, or edit anything. - Group duplicate reports under one bug. - Keep observed evidence separate from guesses.
How it works
- Connect the bug sources you want Eigent to sweep — Sentry, Slack, Linear, GitHub, logs, or support tickets.
- Run an on-demand sweep using the starter prompt and get a draft prioritized list.
- Review the list in the same session and tune it — drop noise, merge duplicates, adjust priorities.
- Once the report is useful, turn the tuned session into a scheduled automation.
- Optionally route follow-ups — draft Linear issues, Slack updates, GitHub comments, or handoff notes.
More prompts to try
- Check one more source before finalizing the priority ranking — here is the Sentry project link.
- Drop alerts that the team already knows about and re-rank the remaining list.
- Merge the Slack report and the Sentry alert that both point to the same checkout flow bug.
- Draft a Linear issue for each P0 and P1 bug in this report.
How to use
Run one manual sweep first. Tune the report in the same session until it is specific enough to read every day — high-signal bugs sorted P0–P3, duplicate reports merged, each bug with linked evidence and a short next action. Once it is useful, ask Eigent to turn the tuned session into a scheduled automation. Keep the automation in draft-only mode until you explicitly approve posting, creating, or closing anything.
Expected output
A prioritized P0–P3 bug list with linked evidence, grouped duplicates, and a recommended next action per bug. Optionally: draft Linear issues, Slack updates, GitHub comments, or handoff notes for follow-up routing.
Limitations
- Eigent reads only the sources you connect — bugs that live in unconnected tools will not appear.
- The report is draft-only by default; Eigent will not post, create, or close items unless you explicitly approve.
- Accuracy improves when you give Eigent specific project links or issue queries rather than asking it to search broadly.
