GitHub-native maintainer agent
Keep repositories moving. Turn issues into verified PRs.
RepoKeeper runs maintenance where open source work already happens: GitHub issues, Actions, branches, checks, and pull requests. It watches the queue, reads the codebase, verifies changes, and leaves maintainers with reviewable work instead of another prompt.
Trigger
Issue label or comment
Context
Repo files + maintainer profile
Verify
Project lint and tests
Deliver
Branch, commit, pull request
GitHub Copilot helps you code in the editor and review PRs. CodeRabbit and PR-Agent automate PR workflows with line-level suggestions. RepoKeeper does what they don't — implements issues, fixes PRs conversationally, scans 8 ecosystems for outdated dependencies, diagnoses CI failures, and monitors your community. Two backends: native (fast, cheap) and Pi (autonomous agent loop for complex tasks).
What ships now
- Issue-triggered implementation agent with native and Pi backends
- Conversational PR fix mode — comment on a PR, agent fixes it
- Inline code review with severity indicators on specific lines
- Auto-labeler for issues and PRs (15 categories, diff-aware)
- Profile-driven code style, skip keywords, and PR guardrails
- Pre-PR verification through discovered or configured commands
- Community radar (issues + discussions) and daily patrol reports
Fastest path
- Copy one GitHub Actions workflow into the repository.
- Add a
DEEPSEEK_API_KEYrepository secret. - Label an issue
agent-todoor comment/repokeeper go. - Review the generated pull request.
- Comment
/repokeeper goon the PR with feedback to get fixes.
