# issue 96 (bot overview in PR descr)

https://github.com/EESSI/eessi-bot-software-layer/issues/96

- one main bot is responsible for creating overview in PR descr
    - how does main bot know what to update?
        - main bot monitors changes to comments updated by bots
            - via raw data in json format in "details" in comment (next to formatted table for humans)
        - main bot is notified by child bot via event?

## Steps to implement

- create initial overview in PR description when PR is created
- update overview in PR description when a bot updates its comment
