Opening Advisor
Three ways in:- From the Experts or Automations page — the banner reading “Describe your workflow and an agent will set it up” opens Advisor with your request pre-seeded.
- From the home page — pick Cosmos Advisor from the expert picker and start typing.
- From an Expert you’re editing — the “Ask an agent to tune this expert” banner opens Advisor scoped to that Expert.
What To Ask For
Describe the outcome, not the wiring. Advisor picks the trigger type, writes the JSONLogic filter, and creates or configures the Expert:- “Every weekday at 9am, DM me the PRs waiting on my review.”
- “Whenever review is requested on a non-draft PR targeting main, post a heads-up in #code-review.”
- “When a P1 PagerDuty incident fires, investigate and post findings to the incident channel.”
The Staged Rollout
Advisor never turns an automation on behind your back:- Deploy with triggers off. Advisor creates the Expert with its automation disabled. It’s usable from the home page immediately, but it never fires on its own.
- Try it. Advisor hands you a link to run the Expert against a real PR or task and confirm it behaves the way you want.
- Enable triggers. When you’re happy, Advisor flips the trigger on. From then on the automation fires on every matching event.
Advisor and the Manual Path
Everything Advisor sets up is an ordinary Expert plus triggers — inspect or adjust it any time from the Experts and Automations pages, and pause it like any other automation (see Managing Automations). Build by hand when you want control over every field, or to understand the moving parts first — Your First Automation walks both paths, and Configuring Triggers has the full reference.See Also
