SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you quickly onboard a new GitHub repository into your workspace so it becomes a tracked project with automated workflow routines installed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Repo discovery & validation: Extracts owner/repo from your request and validates the repository via the GitHub API.
  • Workspace project scaffolding: Creates workspace entities like projects/<owner>-<repo>/project.md and projects/<owner>-<repo>/notes.md with maintainers, branch info, and AI-agent attribution.
  • Workflow automation installation: Installs six workflow-routine mission templates (skipping staging review when no staging branch exists) and updates the project to reflect installed missions.

Quick Start

Use the command add repo owner/repo to create the tracked project and install the workflow missions for it in your workspace.

FAQPage Schema
How do I onboard a GitHub repository for workspace project tracking?

To onboard a GitHub repository for workspace project tracking, use the command add repo owner/repo. This validates the repository via the GitHub API and scaffolds the project with maintainers and branch information.

Can I install workflow automation missions for triage and review routines automatically?

Yes, workflow automation missions for triage and review routines are installed automatically. The setup installs six mission templates with substituted repository, slug, maintainers, and branch parameters.

Does the project setup skip staging review missions if my repository has no staging branch?

Yes, the project setup skips staging review missions when no staging branch exists in your repository. It dynamically configures the installed workflow routines based on validated branch parameters.

What workspace files are created when tracking a new GitHub repository?

Tracking a new GitHub repository creates project.md and notes.md files within the workspace. These files are generated from validated GitHub metadata and include AI-agent attribution and maintainer details.

Do I need to manually configure branch parameters when adding a repository to my workspace?

No, you do not need to manually configure branch parameters when adding a repository. The setup extracts owner/repo data and automatically substitutes branch parameters into the installed mission templates.

What GitHub metadata is required to validate a repository before project scaffolding?

Validating a repository before project scaffolding requires the owner/repo identifier extracted from your request. The system checks this against the GitHub API to ensure the repository exists and is accessible.
