GitHub Triage Agent

An automated agent that triages new GitHub issues by posting a welcome comment and logging actions.

What it does

• Detects newly opened issues
• Posts an automated comment on new issues
• suggests a label on new issues
• Skips old issues and issues it has already triaged
• Logs all actions to memory.json

Setup

1. Clone the repo
2. Create a virtual environment and install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Create a .env file:

   GITHUB_TOKEN=your_personal_access_token
   GITHUB_REPO=owner/repo-name

Running locally

python agent.py

Deployment

The agent runs automatically via GitHub Actions whenever a new issue is opened. To set it up, add GITHUB_REPO as a secret in your repo's Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions.
