github-repo-monitor skillA

github-repo-monitor is agent-read markdown (skill) from openhands/extensions: 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..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# GitHub Repository Monitor

Create a cron automation that polls a single GitHub repository on a
configurable schedule (default: every minute).
Windows PowerShell equivalents for the setup, packaging, upload, and API-check shell snippets are in `references/windows.md`.

When a comment on an issue or PR contains the **trigger phrase**
(default: `@OpenHands`) it:

1. Posts a GitHub comment acknowledging the request with a conversation link.
2. Creates an OpenHands conversation pre-loaded with the issue/PR title, body,
   labels, and recent comment history for full context.
3. Posts a summary GitHub comment when the conversation finishes.

On every subsequent run:
- New trigger comments on an already-tracked issue/PR are forwarded to the
  running conversation (or re-open a previously closed one).
- When a conversation goes idle/finished/error the agent's final response
  is posted back as a GitHub comment.

> **Local mode only.** This automation targets the local OpenHands setup
> (`dev:automation` stack). A cloud/webhook variant is out of scope here.
