This skill should be used when the user asks to "monitor a GitHub repository", "watch GitHub for issues or PRs", "respond to @OpenHands mentions on GitHub", "set up an OpenHands GitHub integration", "trigger OpenHands from a GitHub comment", or "poll a GitHub repo for a trigger phrase". Guides the user through creating a cron automation that polls a single repository and starts an OpenHands conversation whenever a configurable trigger phrase is detected in an issue or PR comment.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'github-repo-monitor' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'github-repo-monitor' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named github-repo-monitor already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/OpenHands/extensions' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'b98ac0671a51cc91bab3609bf4d334c7c832dd98' -- 'skills/github-repo-monitor' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/github-repo-monitor' ~/.agents/skills/'github-repo-monitor' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'github-repo-monitor' ~/.claude/skills/'github-repo-monitor' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
