When you're waiting on your CLI AI app to get to a point where you can tell it the thing you're dying to tell it, may take a long time and you may forget or get distracted with the issues the CLI tool may alert you to.
To fix that, just split your terminal window into 2 and start a 2nd CLI AI instance. You can tell it to create tickets for the things you'd needing to tell it (don't tell it to start coding or it'll interfere with the other CLI thread).
Make sure you have your AI CLI app using your ticket system. There are MCP tools for GitHub and GitLab (and Jira and others). Install it, configure it for your account, then the AI can access it easily and efficiently.
While your AI coding thread is banging away at the next version, you can be testing the last one and reporting everything you find in the 2nd AI thread, telling it to create tickets.
