gitlab-issue-to-mr skillA
gitlab-issue-to-mr is agent-read markdown (skill) from openhands/extensions: 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..
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
# GitLab Issue to MR Automation Create a cron automation that watches one or more GitLab projects for issues with a trigger label, starts an OpenHands conversation once per label event with the project's default branch already checked out, and opens a merge request with whatever the agent produced. The automation script is deterministic: issue discovery, label-event tracking, state persistence, the clone, the branch, the commit, the push, the merge request, the issue comments, and the clone's removal are all handled in Python. The LLM is invoked only to write the code. The agent is told **which** issue to implement, not what it says. It fetches the description, the discussion, and whatever they link to itself, so nothing in the prompt goes stale between dispatch and the moment the agent reads it. That needs read access, so the conversation is handed one secret, `GITLAB_TOKEN`. `AGENT_SECRET_NAMES` stays an allow-list: the rest of the deployment's secret store is not reachable from a conversation whose instructions came from an issue. The deployment's MCP servers are forwarded whole, matching `github-pr-reviewer`, …

How to install
mdr add openhands/extensions/gitlab-issue-to-mr@git:20260914.7751d93mdr add openhands/extensions/gitlab-issue-to-mr@sha256:95b4390e73cc3ba6Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
