Coding Automator Action

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

Quick start

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.
