AI agents for Shortcut
A Monmo agent works in Shortcut the way an engineering coordinator who reads every thread would. It turns bug reports and feature requests into well-written stories, helps plan the next iteration from estimates, reports how each epic and objective is tracking and checks which stories have a GitHub pull request. It uses your own Shortcut account and asks before it creates or changes a story.

What agents do in Shortcut
Write stories from bug reports
From a Sentry error, a Zendesk ticket or a Slack thread, it drafts a bug story with steps to reproduce, expected and actual behaviour, the affected team and the right labels.
AskTurn this Slack thread about the checkout error into a Shortcut bug story with steps to reproduce. Show me before creating it.
Plan the next iteration
Before planning it lists ready stories by priority with their estimates, compares the total with the points the team finished in recent iterations, and suggests a scope that fits.
AskSuggest what should go into next week's iteration for the Platform team, using our last three iterations as a guide.
Report on epics and objectives
Every Monday it reads each epic's stories by workflow state, notes what moved and what is blocked, and writes a one-page update on the objectives those epics roll up to.
AskEvery Monday at 9, write an update on our Q1 objectives: each epic's progress, blockers and anything at risk.
Check stories against GitHub
It compares stories in review or done with pull requests in GitHub, then lists stories marked done with no merged pull request and pull requests that mention no story.
AskWhich stories in the current iteration are marked Done but have no merged pull request in GitHub?
Groom the backlog
It finds stories with no estimate, owner or description, near-duplicates filed by different people and stories untouched for six months, then proposes edits, merges or archiving.
AskReview the Mobile backlog: list stories with no estimate or description and suggest which to archive.
Write release notes
When an iteration ends it reads the completed stories, groups them into features, bugs and chores, and drafts plain release notes for customers plus a fuller list for the team.
AskDraft release notes from the stories completed in iteration 42. One version for customers, one for the team.
Answer questions about the work
Ask who is working on billing, what is blocking the API epic or how long bugs wait before anyone starts them, and it reads Shortcut and answers with links to the stories.
AskWhat is blocking the API v2 epic, and who owns each blocked story?
How it connects
- 1You connect your own Shortcut account once, usually with an API token you create in Shortcut's settings. The agent reaches the workspace and teams that member can reach, and the workspace owner still controls who belongs.
- 2You choose which agents may use Shortcut. An engineering agent writing stories and checking pull requests needs it; a support agent that only files bugs can have it too; most others do not.
- 3Reading stories, epics and iterations needs no approval. Creating or editing a story, changing its workflow state, owner or estimate, moving it into an iteration or archiving it asks first.

Questions people ask
Can an AI agent create stories in Shortcut?
Yes. A Monmo AI agent drafts the story with a title, description, type, team, labels and estimate from whatever you give it: a bug report, a Slack thread, a Figma comment or a feature idea. You see it on a card before it is created, through the Shortcut connection or in its own browser when the connection does not cover something.
Can it help plan a Shortcut iteration?
It prepares the plan and your team decides. The agent lists ready stories by priority, adds up their estimates, compares that with what the team finished in recent iterations and suggests what fits. Moving stories into the iteration asks first, and the final scope is your call.
Will the agent merge pull requests linked to Shortcut stories?
No, merging is never done on its own. It can read pull requests in GitHub, check them against stories and summarise what changed. Merging, deploying and any change to production always ask first, and code review by your engineers stays with them.
Is it safe to connect Shortcut to an AI agent?
The agent works with the Shortcut account you connect, so it sees only what that member sees. It reads without asking and asks before any create, edit or archive. You choose which agents have Shortcut, can watch the agent's screen while it works and can revoke the token at any time.
