What GitHub does
The tool, in plain language.
GitHub holds issues, pull requests, reviews, commits, and the implementation context around shipped work.
Why connect it to Specky?
Keep the useful context attached.
Connect GitHub when you want engineers to see the customer why behind a ticket and want validation work delivered into a reviewable branch.
- Issue and PR context
- Evidence-backed tickets
- Validation pages and reviewable branches
The job this connection does
Why would a product team connect GitHub?
Make the useful context in GitHub available when you need to answer a product question.
Specky pulls from GitHub on a schedule
Specky checks GitHub for new activity when your workspace syncs. You can also run a sync yourself whenever you need a fresh read.
Know what this connection is for.
A useful integration is clear about its boundary: what Specky can receive, what it returns to your product workflow, and what it deliberately does not do.
You provide
- Records Specky can read from GitHub
- The credential and optional filters shown in the connect form
Specky gives back
- Typed, searchable evidence in the Product Graph
- Source-linked context for synthesis, decisions, and PRDs
A real example
Specky imports accessible records from GitHub, preserves their source context, and makes them available beside your other product evidence.
Questions you can ask in plain English
These are the kinds of questions this connection helps answer. Specky keeps the source attached so the answer can be checked, not just trusted.

Before you connect it
How does Specky use my GitHub data?
It becomes part of your Product Graph, where you can search it alongside related feedback from the rest of your stack. The source stays attached, and your workspace data is not used to train AI models.
Will Specky import my existing GitHub history?
Yes. The first sync brings in recent GitHub history, then Specky keeps up with new activity after that.
What do I need before I connect GitHub?
You will need Personal Access Token from your own GitHub account. The setup guide walks you through each one.
How long will this take?
Usually a few minutes. You create a credential in GitHub, paste it into Specky, and you are connected. Step-by-step instructions are in the setup guide.
Can I disconnect GitHub later?
Yes — go to Settings → Integrations whenever you want. Disconnecting removes the connection and the data it brought in.
Can I use GitHub on my plan?
Every plan can connect integrations. Your plan sets how many can be active at once, and a few providers are limited to Scale. Settings → Usage shows where you stand.
