Trigger word & re-processing

aidev prefixes every comment it posts with [aidev] (configurable via AIDEV_COMMENT_PREFIX). This lets it distinguish its own comments from human replies.

A task is normally skipped when:

  • A remote branch already exists for it, or
  • It is pending and no human has replied yet

To force aidev to pick the task up again, post a comment containing the trigger word (default: aidev-continue). aidev will reuse the existing branch and continue implementation.

bash
AIDEV_TRIGGER_WORD=please-retry

The trigger word match is case-insensitive.

For pending tasks, a regular human reply (any comment without the configured prefix) also triggers re-processing.

bash
AIDEV_COMMENT_PREFIX=[mybot]
