Maige

What is Maige?

Maige is an AI agent with access to GitHub actions that teams normally perform through the repository interface. It can label and assign issues, post comments, review pull requests, generate code, and start a code sandbox. Repository owners customize its behavior with plain-text rules, such as assigning UI issues to a specific person or requiring approval for sensitive configuration changes.

Because the agent can affect collaboration and code, permissions should be limited and its instructions treated like production automation policy. Generated reviews and changes can miss security, architectural, or product context, so maintainers should keep branch protection, required checks, and human approval for important repositories.

How to Use Maige

1. Connect the intended GitHub repository with the minimum required permissions.
2. Write clear rules for labels, assignments, comments, and review behavior.
3. Test the rules on non-critical issues and pull requests.
4. Inspect every generated comment, review, and code change.
5. Keep protected branches and required CI checks enabled.
6. Refine instructions when the agent misclassifies work or lacks context.
