Short answer

How can I use AI to manage my repository settings?

Your AI uses the Coveralls API to create new repositories or update existing coverage thresholds. You get direct control over your coverage rules through your agent. This breakdown shows how it works.

The outcomes.

Where your changes land.

Your agent maps your requests to specific actions in Coveralls.

NEW REPO

Automated setup

The AI uses create_repo to spin up a new repository entry. This links your git provider to Coveralls immediately.

UPDATES

Threshold adjustments

Your agent modifies existing coverage settings. You can change thresholds or update repo details via text commands.

AUDIT

Current state check

The AI pulls existing configuration data. You'll see exactly what your current coverage settings look like before making changes.

HUMAN

Final verification

You review the proposed changes. The AI won't push a new threshold to your repo without your go-ahead.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

Your agent translates your intent into API calls to keep your coverage data in sync.

  1. Identify the target

    The agent looks up the specific repository you want to change to ensure it's targeting the right git project.

    get_repo

  2. Initialize new projects

    If you're starting a new project, the AI sets up the repository in Coveralls to begin tracking coverage.

    create_repo

  3. Apply new rules

    The agent updates the coverage thresholds or repository settings based on your instructions.

    update_repo

  4. Confirm configuration

    The AI checks the updated settings against the repository data to confirm the change was successful.

    get_repo

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI delete my repositories?

    No. The current tools only allow for creating, getting, and updating repositories.

  • 02

    Will it change my code?

    No. The AI only manages the Coveralls repository settings and coverage thresholds, not your source code.

  • 03

    Can I use this for GitLab and GitHub?

    Yes, as long as the repository exists on a git provider supported by the Coveralls API.

  • 04

    Does the AI decide when to raise the threshold?

    No. You must tell the AI exactly what the new threshold should be.

  • 05

    Can the AI see my private code?

    No. The AI only interacts with the metadata and settings provided by the Coveralls API.
