Automated Bug Triage

When a bug report arrives from support or an error tracker, automatically create a Shortcut story, apply the right labels, assign it to the on-call engineer, and link it to the active iteration.

As stories move across workflow states, automatically post real-time updates and a daily sprint summary to your team's Slack channel so everyone stays aligned without standup overhead.
