# Coding Automator Action

Send issue comments to the coding agent so it can pick up and work on tasks mentioned with `@bot`.

## Quick start

```yaml
name: Send Tasks to Agent
on:
  issue_comment:
    types: [created, edited]

jobs:
  dispatch:
    if: contains(github.event.comment.body, '@bot')
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      issues: read
      contents: read
    steps:
      - name: Send task to coding agent
        uses: git.yusufali.ca/automation/action@main
        with:
          api_url: ${{ secrets.AGENT_API_URL }}   # default: https://api.servc.io
          api_token: ${{ secrets.AGENT_TOKEN }}   # optional, required for authenticated API calls
          bot_route: coder-agent                  # default: codebot
          debug: false
        env:
          # Used to fetch the first issue comment for context; provided automatically by Actions
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
```

## How it works

- Trigger on `issue_comment` events that contain `@bot`.
- The action fetches the **first comment** on the issue (when available) to capture the original task and strips the `@bot` mention. If none exists, it falls back to the triggering comment.
- It posts the task, repo info, and issue number to the configured agent API route.
- Agent responses are logged to the workflow output; failures set the step as failed.

## Inputs

- `api_url` (default `https://api.servc.io`): Agent API endpoint.
- `api_token` (optional): Token sent as `Apitoken` header for authenticated calls.
- `bot_route` (default `codebot`): Agent route to target.
- `debug` (default `false`): When `true`, logs the payload and configuration for troubleshooting.

## Notes

- Ensure `issues: read` permission so the action can fetch the first comment for context.
- The action respects `GITHUB_SERVER_URL` for GitHub Enterprise environments.
