What IL Co reads

IL Co reads the work you connect so it can draft a handoff. It does not post that draft anywhere until you approve it.

  • Slack

    Reads. Messages in channels the IL Co app has been added to, plus member names and emails so a Slack person can be matched to an IL Co member.

    Writes. One message per approved handoff, and a reply when someone asks a question on it. /handoff drafts a handoff. /ilco answers a question in a private reply. Nothing is posted until the author approves the draft.

  • Linear

    Reads. Issues, comments and status history for an issue a handoff is about, and the open issues assigned to you when you ask for a first draft or away mode.

    Writes. A reply in a Linear agent thread with a link to the draft, and one comment after you approve. A status change only when you pick one while approving.

  • GitHub

    Reads. Pull requests, reviews and commits in repositories you grant the IL Co GitHub App.

    Writes. Nothing. The GitHub App does not commit, open, or merge pull requests.

  • Jira, Confluence, Notion, GitLab and the rest

    Reads. Only a page or issue a handoff cites by link, from a connection you added.

    Writes. Jira can receive one comment on a cited issue after approval. The others are read-only.

Connection tokens stay on the IL Co server, encrypted. More on security.
