Watchdog is a personal Slack agent for overloaded IC (Independent Contributor) engineers. As an IC, you get bombarded with mentions all day. "this is broken", "have you fixed this yet?", "you need to look at this". and it's on you to keep track of all of it. Things slip through the cracks, people follow up, and you spend mental energy triaging instead of building. Watchdog watches your Slack mentions and handles them for you. It uses Gemini 3.1 Pro to triage each mention (bug, feature request, question, urgent, or noise) with a confidence score, DMs you a private summary, creates a Linear ticket with the right priority, then dispatches a coding agent that clones your repo, explores the codebase, writes a targeted fix, runs existing tests and linters, and opens a GitHub PR, all before you even read the message. If tests fail, it stops and reports back instead of shipping broken code. If the fix lands, it moves the Linear ticket to "Ready for Review" and DMs you the PR link, test results, and ticket status. You just review and merge when you're ready. It's a multi-agent system, that turns the full loop of Slack mention -> triage -> ticket -> code fix -> tested PR -> status update into a single autonomous pipeline.
