Connect GitHub to Specky
Import PRs, issues, and code discussions from your repos.
Specky pulls from GitHub on a schedule
Once connected, Specky keeps itself up to date with GitHub in the background — refreshing when you open your workspace, or on demand whenever you want it now rather than later.

Before you connect it
What does Specky do with my GitHub data?
It becomes part of your product graph: searchable, clustered with related feedback from your other tools, and quotable in PRDs and decisions. It is never used to train AI models, and it stays in your workspace.
Will Specky import my existing GitHub history?
Yes. The first sync brings in recent history so you have something to work with straight away, and Specky keeps up with new activity after that.
What do I need to connect GitHub?
Personal Access Token — all of it from your own GitHub account. The full walkthrough is in the setup guide.
How long does it take to set up?
A few minutes. You create a credential in GitHub, paste it into Specky, and you're connected. Step-by-step instructions are in the setup guide.
Can I disconnect GitHub later?
Yes, from Settings → Integrations, at any time. Disconnecting removes the connection and the data it brought in.
Do I need to be on a paid plan?
Every plan can connect integrations; the number you can run at once depends on your plan, and a few providers are limited to Scale. Settings → Usage shows where you stand.
Bring GitHub into your product graph
Connect it in a few minutes, then let Specky do the reading.
