  • It can integrate with GitHub Action Workflow Engines via github action dispatch events.
  • It can interface with GitHub Action Permission Systems through github action RBAC checks.
  • It can connect to GitHub Action Notification Services for github action status updates.
  • It can communicate with GitHub Action Bot Frameworks through github action command parsing.
  • It can synchronize with GitHub Action Progress Trackers via github action checkpoint systems.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Bot-Mention GitHub Action Trigger Commands, such as:
    • "@claude-ai review this PR" for github action code review automation.
    • "@dependabot merge" for github action dependency management.
    • "@github-actions run workflow" for github action manual trigger.
  • Slash-Command GitHub Action Trigger Commands, such as:
    • "/deploy production" for github action deployment initiation.
    • "/run tests" for github action test execution.
    • "/approve release" for github action release authorization.
    • "/security-review enable" for github action security scan.
  • Keyword-Based GitHub Action Trigger Commands, such as:
    • "LGTM" for github action approval workflow.
    • "WIP" for github action draft status.
    • "Ready for review" for github action review request.
  • Multi-Parameter GitHub Action Trigger Commands, such as:
    • "/benchmark compare main feature-branch" for github action performance testing.
    • "/backport 1.0.x 2.0.x" for github action cherry-pick automation.
    • "/label bug priority-high" for github action issue classification.
  • Integration-Specific GitHub Action Trigger Commands, such as:
    • Agentic Code Action System commands like "@claude implement this feature" for github action AI-driven development.
    • Code Review Automation System commands like "@review-bot analyze" for github action automated review.
    • "@slack notify #releases" for github action cross-platform notification.
    • "@jira create-ticket" for github action issue synchronization.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • GitHub Action Schedule Trigger, which uses github action cron expressions rather than github action trigger commands.
  • GitHub Action Push Trigger, which responds to github action code commits rather than github action command text.
  • GitHub Action Tag Trigger, which activates on github action tag creation without github action command input.
  • Regular Comment Text, which contains comment content without github action trigger intent.
  • GitHub Action API Call, which triggers github action workflows through github action REST endpoints rather than github action commands.
