Automatically convert GitHub issues into code implementations using Cline AI, then update your Kanban board status as work progresses. Perfect for solo developers and small teams managing feature requests.

Workflow Steps

1

GitHub

Set up issue webhook

Configure GitHub webhook to trigger when new issues are created or labeled with 'ready-for-dev'. Filter for issues with specific labels like 'feature' or 'bug' to avoid triggering on documentation or discussion issues.

2

Zapier

Parse issue and create Cline task

Use Zapier to catch the GitHub webhook, extract issue title, description, and acceptance criteria. Format this data into a structured prompt for Cline AI, including coding standards and file structure requirements.

3

Cline

Generate code implementation

Send the formatted issue details to Cline AI to generate the actual code implementation. Configure Cline with your project context, coding style, and framework preferences to ensure consistent output quality.

4

Trello

Update Kanban card status

Automatically move the corresponding Trello card from 'To Do' to 'In Progress' when Cline starts coding, then to 'Ready for Review' when code is generated. Include the generated code snippets in card comments for easy review.
