What is Modifee

Modifee is a workspace in the dashboard. You connect a GitHub repository for a client site, add a chat widget to that site, and the client asks for a change in plain language. A coding agent opens a pull request. The client reviews a preview. The change is squash-merged into the default branch.

The English widget button is Request a change. The same strings exist in French and Spanish. Dashboard labels stay in English.

Who it's for

Agencies and freelance developers who ship client sites from GitHub. One workspace holds the projects. Each project is one repository. Clients never see the Project name.

How a change moves

1. The client opens Request a change and describes the edit. The empty state says "A change to make on your site?" and "Describe it in a few words. You'll get a preview to approve before it goes live."
2. Modifee classifies the request. A small change is queued for the coding agent. A large one is held: backend, auth, payments, personal data, a third-party service, a form that saves or sends data, a whole-site redesign, an ambiguous scope, a protected path, or a change that is too large. The dashboard status is Needs a quote. Open the request from the Inbox and press Send quote to client. The client presses Accept or Decline. Accept queues the agent. Until then the widget says In review by and the team name.
3. The agent edits the repository and opens a pull request. The dashboard shows Agent running, then Building preview.
4. The client reviews the preview and presses Looks good. The widget status is "Preview ready — please review". If no preview is available, the dashboard shows No preview and the widget says Ready for the team name to review.
5. The pull request is squash-merged into the default branch. You press Approve & merge, or Autopilot merges an eligible change after Looks good. The widget then says Live. The dashboard status is Merged.

New projects store Autopilot as Aggressive. That mode can merge trivial and standard changes after the client approves. Off waits for Approve & merge on every change. Protected files always wait for you.

What Modifee does not do

• It does not commit the change straight to the default branch. The work is a pull request until it is merged.
• It does not start the coding agent on a Needs a quote request until the client presses Accept.
• It does not let the agent edit a protected path. Those requests are held for a quote, and the agent blocks writes to those files. See Guardrails.
• It does not show the widget to every visitor when Authentication is Site without login. The button stays hidden until the client opens the access-marker link. Only addresses under Who can request changes? can send a request. Anyone else sees "This email isn't allowed to request changes on this site."
• It does not show the widget to guests when Authentication is App with login. The page must pass a signed data-token. Without it, the browser console says "Modifee: data-project and data-token are required".
• It does not host the client site. You keep deploying the site. Modifee reads the repository you connect and opens pull requests on it.
