+# GitHub Repository Monitor Skill
+
+An OpenHands skill that creates a cron automation to monitor a GitHub
+repository for issue and PR comments, routing them to OpenHands conversations
+and posting results back as GitHub comments.
+
+## What it does
+
+1. **Polls** a GitHub repository for new comments on issues and PRs.
+2. **Triggers** when a comment contains `@OpenHands` (configurable), and — by
+   default — only when its author can write to the repository.
+3. **Creates** an OpenHands conversation pre-loaded with the full issue/PR
+   context — title, description, labels, and the last 10 comments — including
+   the basis on which the author was authorized.
+4. **Acts** on the request: investigates and replies, and when asked to change
+   something (the default `implement` work mode) creates a branch, commits,
+   pushes, and updates an existing pull request instead of opening a second one.
+   It never pushes to the base branch, force-pushes, or merges.
+5. **Posts** a GitHub comment with a link to the conversation and an
+   AI-disclosure notice.
+6. **Forwards** follow-up trigger comments to the running conversation,
+   or re-opens it if it was previously closed.
+7. **Summarises** by posting the agent's final response back to the
+   issue/PR once the conversation finishes.

+
+## Quick start
+
+Just tell OpenHands:
+
+> *"Set up a GitHub repository monitor for `owner/repo`"*
+
+The skill will walk through token verification, permission-gate selection
+(who may trigger work), work-mode selection (answer only, or answer and change
+code), event-type selection, cron schedule, and automation creation
+automatically.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- `GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN` secret set in OpenHands Settings → Secrets
+  - Classic PAT: `repo` (private repos) or `public_repo` (public repos);
+    `workflow` as well when the agent is allowed to implement and the repository
+    has workflows
+  - Fine-grained PAT: Issues — Read and Write, plus Contents — Read and Write
+    and Pull requests — Read and Write for `implement`, and Metadata — Read for
+    the permission check
+- The monitored repository must be accessible with that token
+
+## Configuration options
+
+| Option | Default | Description |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| Repository | (required) | `owner/repo` format |
+| Trigger phrase | `@OpenHands` | Case-insensitive alias to watch for in comments. Any handle works, e.g. `@my-bot`; it is plain text and needs no GitHub account of its own. `GITHUB_TRIGGER_PHRASE` overrides it without a code edit |
+| Who may trigger work | users with write access (`AUTHORIZATION="repo_write"`) | Checks the commenter's repository permission and proceeds only for `admin`, `maintain`, or `write`; select `anyone` to accept any non-bot commenter. A trigger phrase is not authorization. The token owner and explicit `ALLOWED_GITHUB_LOGINS` entries bypass the lookup and are reported to the agent as allowed by configuration |
+| What the agent may do | answer and change code (`WORK_MODE="implement"`) | `implement` may branch, commit, push, and update an existing PR; `reply` only investigates and comments. `implement` with `anyone` lets any commenter push commits — pick one or the other |
+| Allowed GitHub logins | token owner only | Extra logins (or `*`) allowed regardless of repository permission; these bypass the permission check |
+| Event types | `issue_comment` | `issue_comment`, `pr_review_comment`, or both |
+| Cron schedule | `* * * * *` | Every minute; any valid 5-field cron expression |
+
+## State file
+
+The automation maintains a JSON state file at:
+```
+~/.openhands/workspaces/automation-state/github_poller_{automation_id}.json
+```
+
+See `references/state-schema.md` for the full schema.

+### Check a commenter's permission (authorization gate)
+
+```
+GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/collaborators/{username}/permission
+```
+
+The monitor calls this once per commenter per run (the result is cached) and
+acts only when `permission` is `admin` or `write` (`maintain` users arrive as
+`write`; `maintain` is still accepted defensively). The token owner
+and logins listed in `ALLOWED_GITHUB_LOGINS` skip the call.
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `permission` | string | Effective permission, as one of the legacy base roles `admin`, `write`, `read`, or `none`. `maintain` is reported as `write` and `triage` as `read` |
+| `user.login` | string | The collaborator the answer describes |
+
+Notes:
+- A user who is not a collaborator on a private repo returns `404`; treat that
+  as "not permitted". On a public repo with a base permission, the same user may
+  return `read`, which is also "not permitted".
+- `403` means the token cannot read collaboration data (fine-grained tokens may
+  lack the permission). The monitor fails closed: the comment is skipped.
+- Fine-grained PATs need **Metadata: Read**, which is what GitHub's endpoint
+  reference requires for this call; classic PATs answer it with the `repo` scope
+  they already need for everything else.
