Improvements:

  • New Task selects doc collections: The New Task form now shows your doc collections directly instead of projects. Select a doc collection from the dropdown to create a task for that documentation set.

  • Per-task Slack notifications: Choose which Slack channel receives notifications for each task. The default is inherited from your existing pipeline configuration, but you can override it per task. A warning appears when you select a private channel—make sure the Promptless bot is invited.

  • Per-task auto-publish: For GitHub-backed doc collections, toggle “Create PRs automatically” to have Promptless open a docs PR when the suggestion is ready. This setting applies only to the current task and doesn’t affect your pipeline defaults.

  • Deep Analysis in New Task: Deep Analysis is now a checkbox in the New Task form instead of a separate sidebar tab. Check it when creating a task to access templates for large documentation projects—like refactoring sections, auditing for consistency, or writing docs from scratch. The standalone /deep-analysis URL now redirects to /new-task?deep_analysis=true.

  • Open docs PRs as yourself: Provide a GitHub Personal Access Token when creating a docs PR to open it under your account instead of the Promptless bot. GitHub shows you as the PR author, and the commit credits you as the author with Promptless as a co-author. Paste the token once and Promptless caches it server-side (encrypted) for 24 hours, so subsequent PRs in that window reuse it automatically—useful when you want personal attribution or when your team’s review workflows require human-authored PRs. The same flow now works for OSS doc collections backed by a Promptless-managed fork—if GitHub prompts you with a collaborator invite on the fork, accept it and retry once, and later PRs go through automatically.

  • Opt out of automatic suggestion base-sync: If your team keeps a lot of suggestion PRs open at once, Promptless’s default behavior of pushing the latest base-branch commits into every open suggestion branch after each docs push can flood your inbox with GitHub notifications. Organizations can now opt out of that proactive base-sync to cut the noise—commit triggers and the rest of suggestion processing keep working as usual; only the automatic base-branch sync is skipped. Email help@gopromptless.ai to switch your org from the default proactive mode to disabled.

  • Closed PR indicator in suggestion review: When a docs PR opened from a suggestion is closed without merging, the PR link button at the top of the suggestion now turns red and reads “Closed PR #N.” It joins the existing “Created” and “Merged” states, so the button’s color reflects the PR’s current status at a glance.

  • GitHub pending install visibility: When your GitHub organization requires admin approval for apps, the onboarding wizard displays your request status instead of the default “Connect GitHub” button. You see which organization is pending, how long the request has been waiting, and a “Check status” button to refresh. Once an admin approves the request, the wizard automatically advances to repository selection.

  • Improved repository access troubleshooting: When the Promptless GitHub App doesn’t have access to any repositories, the setup wizard now shows a clear error message with a Manage repository access button that opens GitHub’s installation settings directly. Click Refresh after granting access to reload the repository list.

  • Suggestion lifecycle notifications: Opt in to receive Slack notifications when your suggestion is merged, closed, rejected, or archived. Enable this in Organization Settings to stay informed about suggestion outcomes without watching the dashboard or docs PRs directly.

  • Rich Slack suggestion previews: Suggestion notifications in Slack now appear as rich, clickable previews instead of plain text. Each preview shows the suggestion title, a “New” or “Updated” badge, a short description, the trigger source, file change stats, and current status. Click anywhere on the preview to open the suggestion in Promptless, or use the “Create PR” and “Review in Promptless” buttons that appear as native preview actions.

  • Jira comments in context: When Promptless pulls a Jira ticket for context, it now includes comments alongside the summary and description—giving the agent visibility into discussion threads, clarifications, and decisions captured on the ticket.

Bug Fixes:

  • Bot-Authored Commit Evaluation: Fixed Promptless skipping GitHub commits authored by bot accounts—such as paper-style editors and headless writers that push human-written content under a bot identity—regardless of the diff. Promptless now evaluates these commits based on the diff content, just as it does for human-authored commits. PR and issue comments from bot accounts remain filtered as before.

  • Dynamic Slack status updates: When you @mention Promptless or DM it, Slack now shows a native status indicator that updates in real time: “Reading thread…”, “Researching repo…”, “Capturing screenshots…”, “Creating suggestion…”, and more. This replaces the static “Thinking…” message and gives you visibility into work in progress while reducing thread noise. Workspaces that don’t support AI assistant thread status fall back to a thread reply automatically.

  • Linear Integration Token Refresh: Fixed Linear OAuth tokens expiring and causing silent integration failures. Tokens now refresh automatically before expiration. If you connected Linear before this fix, you need to reconnect Linear to restore full functionality. New connections work without issue.

  • CLI Authentication: Fixed promptless auth login failing when the browser blocked the callback due to Content Security Policy restrictions. The CLI now authenticates successfully regardless of which ephemeral port it uses.
