Use Embedder’s GitHub and Slack integrations to request work without keeping an interactive chat open. A daemon on your chosen machine runs the task with that machine’s build tools and connected hardware.

​
Set up automation

  1. Connect a GitHub repository and map it to an Embedder project.
  2. Install Embedder on the machine that will build and test the project.
  3. Run embedder start daemon and complete authentication if prompted.
  4. Run embedder monitor to check that the daemon is connected.
  5. Mention Embedder in the repository, or connect Slack and mention it in a channel containing the app.

​
Write a complete request

Include the repository or pull request, expected change, constraints, and verification. Name the target and power limits if the work needs hardware. The daemon works in a separate checkout. The coding agent commits, pushes, and opens or updates a PR during the run. Existing PR work updates its branch; default-branch work creates embedder/work/<work-item-id>. Request local-only work to opt out of publishing. Review the returned changes and checks before requesting a merge. If Embedder asks a question, reply in the same GitHub conversation or Slack thread.
Daemon tasks run with automatic approvals. Use a host account with access only to the repositories, tools, and hardware intended for this work.
