Feedback

The Feedback panel lets you submit suggestions, bug reports, and content ideas that get refined by AI and posted as GitHub Issues.

Opening the Panel

Click the speech bubble icon in the sidebar bottom bar (next to the theme picker and docs link). This navigates to the Feedback view.

Submitting Feedback

1. Title -- a brief summary of your feedback
2. Description -- detailed explanation of the suggestion, bug, or idea
3. Channel (optional) -- associate the feedback with a specific channel for context

AI Grooming

Click Groom with AI to have the local Ollama model analyze and refine your feedback. The AI returns:

• Refined Title -- a clearer, more actionable version
• Summary -- 1-2 sentence distillation
• Action Items -- concrete checklist of things to do
• Labels -- categorization tags (e.g., "bug", "feature", "content-idea")
• Priority -- low, medium, or high based on impact
• Suggestions -- tips to improve or expand the feedback

All fields are editable after grooming -- tweak anything before submitting.

Submitting to GitHub

Click Submit to GitHub to create an issue in the VibeSmiths/VideoIdeas repository.

GITHUB_TOKEN Required

The "Submit to GitHub" button is only visible when a GITHUB_TOKEN is configured. The panel checks GET /api/keys on mount to detect this. If no token is found, a hint appears explaining how to add one via the API Keys modal or GITHUB_TOKEN in app/.env.

The issue includes:

• Refined title as the issue title
• Markdown body with summary, action items checklist, original description, suggestions, and metadata
• Labels from the groomed result plus a feedback label
• Submitter username from your Keycloak login (included in the payload as submittedBy)
• Submitter username from your Keycloak login

The submission runs as an async NATS worker job. You'll see real-time status updates, and a link to the created issue once complete.

Requirements

• Ollama must be running for AI grooming. Enable GPU services via Helm (gpu.enabled: true in values.yaml) or docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml --profile gpu up -d for local dev.
• GitHub Token required for issue submission — add via API Keys modal or GITHUB_TOKEN in app/.env

Re-grooming

Click Re-groom to run the AI analysis again with your edited fields. This is useful if you've substantially changed the description after the first grooming pass.
