Workflow for scanning, drafting, and presenting community responses with a human review gate.
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
## Context
Phase 1 is **draft-only mode**.
- The communications owner scans issues and discussions, drafts responses with the humanizer skill, and presents a review table for human approval.
- **Human review gate is mandatory** — the communications owner never posts autonomously.
- Every action is logged to `.squad/comms/audit/`.
- This workflow is triggered manually only ("check community") — no automated activation in Phase 1.
## Patterns
### 1. Scan
Find unanswered community items with GitHub MCP tools first, or `gh issue list` / `gh api` as fallback for issues and discussions.
- Include **open** issues and discussions only.
- Filter for items with **no squad team response**.
- Limit to items created in the last 7 days.
- Exclude items labeled `squad:internal` or `wontfix`.
- Include discussions **and** issues in the same sweep.
- Phase 1 scope is **issues and discussions only** — do not draft PR replies.
### Discussion Handling (Phase 1)
Discussions use the GitHub Discussions API, which differs from issues:
- **Scan:** `gh api /repos/{owner}/{repo}/discussions --jq '.[] | select(.answer_chosen_at == null)'` to find unanswered discussions

How to install
mdr add bradygaster/squad/external-comms@sha256:6fa3f30e012532e0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.9cf5842, 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.
