   Who gets it

   The source does not say which plans include it. Check your workspace before relying on it.

Example workflows

Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.

1. 01

   Stand it up from scratch

   You have read the record and want App connector: GitHub API working in a real project rather than a sandbox.

   Set up App connector: GitHub API in this project — GitHub API lets the apps you build read repositories, track issues and pull requests, follow releases and workflow runs, and build.

   I am building the project in this workspace. Given that App connector: GitHub API GitHub API lets the apps you build read repositories, track issues and pull requests, follow releases and workflow runs, and build, tell me honestly whether it fits what I am building, including the cases where I should not use it.

   Expected outcome

   A direct yes or no with the reasoning, the cases against it, and one first step. Treat a hedged answer as a no.

   Expected outcome

   A note you can paste into chat as-is. Read it once for anything overstated before you send it.
