Create an automation that implements GitLab issues when a configurable trigger label is applied. Polls one or more projects deterministically, clones the default branch, starts one OpenHands conversation per label event, then commits, pushes, and opens the merge request itself.
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
# Gitlab Issue To Mr
This automation now runs from the executable automation plugin at `plugins/gitlab-issue-to-mr`. Do not copy or package code from `skills/gitlab-issue-to-mr`; the skill is only a setup guide for creating the plugin-spec 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/gitlab-issue-to-mr",
"ref": "main"
}
```
`ref` is `main` while this plugin layout is unreleased. After an `openhands-extensions` release includes this plugin, prefer the matching release tag, for example `v<extensions-version>`. If setup code can inspect the installed package version, parameterize this value as `v{version('openhands-extensions')}`; otherwise default to `main`.
For local Agent Canvas development from this checkout, use a local source instead:
```json
{
"source": "/absolute/path/to/OpenHands/extensions",
"repo_path": "plugins/gitlab-issue-to-mr"
}
```
## Request template
```json
{
"name": "Create an automation that implements GitLab issues when a configurable trigger label is applied",
"plugin": {

How to install
mdr add openhands/extensions/gitlab-issue-to-mr@sha256:182b19b0d6e496c6The 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.
