This skill should be used when the user asks to "monitor a GitHub repository", "watch GitHub for issues or PRs", "respond to @OpenHands mentions on GitHub", "set up an OpenHands GitHub integration", "trigger OpenHands from a GitHub comment", or "poll a GitHub repo for a trigger phrase". Guides the user through creating a cron automation that polls a single repository and starts an OpenHands conversation whenever a configurable trigger phrase is detected in an issue or PR comment.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Github Repo Monitor
This automation now runs from the executable automation plugin at `plugins/github-repo-monitor`. Do not copy or package code from `skills/github-repo-monitor`; the skill is only a setup guide for creating the plugin-spec automation.
## Authorization and work mode
By default only the token owner, explicitly allowlisted logins, or users with repository write access can trigger work. `anyone` accepts non-bot commenters; do not combine it with `implement`, which permits pushing to a branch. `reply` only investigates and comments. Never merge, force-push, or push to the base branch. Verify the token has access to the repository and the permissions required for the selected work mode. Ask for the repository, alias, authorization policy, work mode and cron schedule before creating the automation.
## Create with the plugin-spec endpoint
Use `POST /api/automation/v1/plugin-spec` with this plugin source:
```json
{
"source": "github:OpenHands/extensions",
"repo_path": "plugins/github-repo-monitor",
"ref": "main"
}
```

How to install
mdr add openhands/extensions/github-repo-monitor@sha256:fe972672e3e76c70The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.f79208b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
