Users can control whether they are tagged in bot-generated messages (summaries, answers) by sending Direct Messages (DMs) to the bot:

opt-out Opt-out of being tagged. Your name will be displayed as text instead of a mention.
opt-in Opt-in to being tagged (default).
status Check your current opt-out status.

Note: This only affects messages generated by the bot. It does not prevent other users from tagging you manually.


🚀 Production Deployment

  1. Create Production Environment File:
    Copy .env.example to .env.prod and configure your production secrets.

    cp .env.example .env.prod

This configuration includes:

  • Automatic restart policies (restart: always)

Developing

Setup

Install dependencies using uv:

uv sync --all-extras --dev

Development Commands

The project uses Poe the Poet for task automation with parallel execution:

# Run all checks (format, then parallel lint/typecheck/test)
uv run poe check

# Individual tasks
uv run poe format     # Format code with ruff
uv run poe lint       # Lint code with ruff
uv run poe typecheck  # Type check with pyright
uv run poe test       # Run tests with pytest

# List all available tasks
uv run poe

The check command runs formatting first, then executes linting, type checking, and testing in parallel for faster execution.
