Pokor for GitHub

Planning poker for GitHub issues

Keep engineering work connected to the issue that defines it. Import the GitHub issues that are ready, estimate together, and return the final value as a comment, label, or both.

Organizer plan · €5.99/month
One connected workflow

From source item to shared estimate

Keep the source context attached from selection through the final decision.

  1. Install the Pokor GitHub App

    One click from Settings → Integrations. Choose which repositories the app can see — your org admin decides the scope.

  2. Pick a repository

    Pokor lists every repo across every installation you belong to. Pagination built in for orgs with many repositories.

  3. Import issues

    Filter by state (open, closed, all), browse the issue list with labels, select the ones to estimate, and pull them into the session.

What becomes easier

Less coordination around every vote

The integration should remove coordination work without hiding what Pokor can access or where the final estimate goes.

GitHub App + OAuth

The Pokor GitHub App handles repository permissions; OAuth handles the user identity. Tokens auto-refresh — no manual re-auth during long sessions.

State and label-aware

Filter by issue state, see labels inline, and pick exactly the backlog slice you want to refine. Up to 500 issues per import.

Title, body, URL, labels

Imported stories carry the issue number, title, markdown body, HTML URL back to GitHub, and labels — the team gets full context in the session view.

Send estimates back to GitHub

When your team finalizes, Pokor posts the estimate to the issue as a comment, an `estimate:N` label, or both. Pick the write-back mode in Settings and toggle sync per session from the planning room sidebar.

Only the organizer pays

GitHub import is an Organizer-plan feature (€5.99/mo). Voters and spectators are always free.

Before you connect

Questions about access and setup

Does Pokor need write access to my repos?

The Pokor GitHub App requests read access to issues and metadata, plus write access to issue comments and labels so it can post estimates back — it cannot modify your code, create pull requests, or change repository settings.

Can my organization admin approve the app for everyone?

Yes. GitHub org admins can install the Pokor GitHub App organization-wide and restrict which repositories it can access. Each user still completes a lightweight OAuth step to map their GitHub account to their Pokor seat.

What if my repos are private?

Private repositories work the same as public ones — the Pokor GitHub App only sees what you or your admin has explicitly allowed it to see.

Does Pokor post estimates back to GitHub?

Yes. With sync enabled, Pokor writes each finalized estimate straight to the GitHub issue — as a comment, an `estimate:N` label, or both. Pick the write-back mode in Settings → Integrations and turn sync on from the planning room sidebar.

Is GitHub import on the free plan?

Installing the GitHub App is free; importing issues into a planning poker session requires the Organizer plan.
