Connect a repository

Go to Integrations and connect GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. Select the repositories you want Tembo to access.
2

Create a task

Open the Tembo Dashboard and click New Task. Pick a repo, choose your coding agent, and describe the work.
3

Review the PR

Tembo works in a sandbox, writes the code, and opens a pull request. Review it, then mention @tembo in PR comments to request changes.
4

Set up automations

Go to Automations and pick a template or create your own with custom triggers and schedules. See Automations.

​
Where to tag @tembo

Tag required: PR comments, GitHub issues, Slack messages. No tag needed: Dashboard tasks, Linear/Jira issues assigned to Tembo.

​
Writing good prompts

Include: what needs to change, where (file paths), why, and how you’ll know it’s done. 
Fix memory leak in workers/job-processor.ts

Heap grows from 512MB to 4GB and crashes after ~6 hours.
Likely in cleanup logic around line 156. See Sentry #12345.

Done when: memory stable over 24+ hours, no queued jobs lost.
Avoid: “Fix the bug”, “Make it faster”, “Update the app and add new features”. Be specific, scope to one task, and include acceptance criteria.
TypeWhat to include
BugSteps to reproduce, expected vs actual, error messages, Sentry link
FeatureRequirements, file locations, edge cases, dependencies
RefactorCurrent problems, desired state, constraints, specific files
