# It runs on your skills, your rules and your tools.

> Keep your team's skills and agent briefs in a repository and CoderHelm reads the ones that fit the work. Connect the MCP servers you use and it pulls context from them while it plans and builds.

*Product view: A connected skills repository: each skill and agent brief, its switch, and how often the agents read it.*

## Skills kept in a repository

- Skills from `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` or `.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`, with the text files next to them
- Agent briefs from `agents/<name>.md` and command steps from `commands/<name>.md`
- Read from the default branch only, so only merged, reviewed text is used, and synced after every merge
- Text only: nothing from a skills repository is ever run, and every guard stays in place
- Each item has a switch, and you can see how often each agent read it

## Your rules

CoderHelm reads AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, copilot instructions and .cursorrules from each repository. Admins add guardrails, custom instructions and a team voice for pull request descriptions.

## MCP servers

Connect any of 17 MCP servers and CoderHelm can use them while it plans and implements: Figma, Sentry, Linear, Notion, Vercel, Stripe, PostHog, GitLab, Neon, Turso, Snyk, LaunchDarkly, MongoDB Atlas, Grafana, Redis, Upstash and Sanity. Credentials are stored encrypted with AWS KMS.

## Memory you can see

CoderHelm remembers what it learns on each repository, kept per team and per repository. Each agent has a profile showing what it knows and where it learned it, and you can pin, edit, forget or teach it something new.

- [GitHub issue and Jira ticket to pull request](https://coderhelm.com/pull-requests.md): Assign a GitHub issue or Jira ticket to CoderHelm and it plans the change, writes it on its own branch, runs your build and tests, reviews its own work and opens a pull request.
- [Read only data sources for an AI coding agent](https://coderhelm.com/data-sources.md): CoderHelm checks your GraphQL API, CloudWatch Logs, PostgreSQL and Redshift while it plans, writes and reviews, with every lookup read only, enforced in code and recorded.
- [AI code review for GitHub pull requests](https://coderhelm.com/reviewer.md): Add a label to any GitHub pull request and CoderHelm reviews it with the context of the whole repository, comments on exact lines with suggested fixes, rates risk and reviews again on every push.
