agentify — deploy the autonomous-repo feedback loop

Beta. This skill is under active development; the setup flow may change and a lower-friction "express" onboarding is being explored.

/agentify installs the framework into a target repo: feedback in → triaged GitHub issue → human-gated fix PR → filer notified. It bundles the framework as templates, so installing this plugin is grabbing the framework. The install lands as a PR the repo owner reviews and merges — the install itself goes through the same human gate the framework runs on.

Where the tooling lives. The scaffolder and templates ship in this skill's own directory, next to this SKILL.md — agentify-render.sh, templates/, references/. Substitute that absolute path for $AGENTIFY_DIR below; the scaffolder resolves its own resources, so any working directory works.

v0 scope. The full loop ships: triage/intake (email → triaged issue), comms (filer acks + the fix-gate approval email + verified-reply routing), fix + release (the coding agent's human-reviewed PR + the merge→shipped callback), and this deploy flow. The mechanical render is automated (agentify-render.sh, with a _selftest); the Q&A and the one-time identity/secret setup stay guided. An update mode (re-render preserving the adopter's config tweaks) is the natural follow-on — the render is already idempotent.

What gets scaffolded into the target repo

from $AGENTIFY_DIR/templates/	to the target repo
autonomous-repo.config.yml.tmpl	autonomous-repo.config.yml (the only file the adopter owns)
runtime-skill/**	.claude/skills/autonomous-repo/**
scripts/*.sh (ticket_card.sh, comms_send.sh, released_markers.sh)	scripts/*.sh
workflows/*.yml.tmpl	.github/workflows/*.yml

Deploy procedure

1. Detect. Read the target repo: its OWNER/REPO, primary language, test command, and CI — used to fill the fix-lane verify_setup_script and sensible defaults.
2. Configure. Ask the adopter the config values and export them as the ANS_* env vars agentify-render.sh reads: ANS_PRODUCT_NAME, ANS_OWNER, ANS_REPO, ANS_MARKER, ANS_REVIEWER_LOGIN, ANS_BOT_LOGIN, ANS_SUPPORT_ADDRESS, ANS_FIX_GATE_MODE (hitl recommended), ANS_APPROVER_ADDRESS, ANS_VERIFY_SETUP_SCRIPT. (The bot login can be filled later from the checklist; secrets are never gathered here.)
3. Render. Run "$AGENTIFY_DIR/agentify-render.sh" --to <target-repo-root>. It fills autonomous-repo.config.yml from the ANS_* answers (failing loudly on any unfilled placeholder) and scaffolds the runtime skill, the scripts, and the four workflows into their real paths (.claude/skills/autonomous-repo/, scripts/, .github/workflows/*.yml). Re-running updates the scaffolded code but PRESERVES an existing autonomous-repo.config.yml (your tuned always_hitl, the filled bot_login) — pass --force only to regenerate the config. Then tune the rendered config's always_hitl list for the product's sensitive surfaces, and sanity-check: scripts/*.sh _selftest all green and the config parses. Optional addons ($AGENTIFY_DIR/templates/addons/) — e.g. submit-feedback-mcp (a submit_feedback MCP tool that email-bridges into the support mailbox) — are opted in via ANS_ADDONS="<name> ..."; the render scaffolds each to tools/<name>/ and appends its setup to AGENTIFY-ADDON-SETUP.md. Addons are additive; the loop runs without them.
4. Auto-do the safe parts. Create the labels from labels.* via gh (feedback, agent-fix, wontfix, feedback-ops, the status:* set).
5. Hand off the rest (print, don't do — see references/setup-checklist.md): create the GitHub App (bot identity) and set github_app_login in config; create the e2a support@ agent + an agent-scoped API key; add the repo secrets (CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, E2A_API_KEY, AUTOREPO_APP_ID, AUTOREPO_APP_PRIVATE_KEY); enable Actions; set branch protection so the fix lane's PRs require review. Hand over the exact commands/links — never run the auth yourself.
6. Open the install as a PR. Branch, commit the scaffolded files, open a PR titled "agentify: install the autonomous-repo feedback loop" that summarizes what each file does and links the setup checklist. Do not merge.
