Setup

Step 1: Get Claude API Key

1. Go to console.anthropic.com
2. Create an API key
3. Copy the key (starts with sk-ant-...)

Step 2: Add Secret to GitHub

1. Go to your repo: https://github.com/moltbook/moltbook-frontend
2. Click Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
3. Click New repository secret
4. Name: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
5. Value: paste your Claude API key
6. Click Add secret

Step 3: Add Workflow File

1. In your repo, create folder: .github/workflows/
2. Add file auto-reply-issue.yml (copy from this folder)
3. Commit and push

cd moltbook-frontend
mkdir -p .github/workflows
cp auto-reply-issue.yml .github/workflows/
git add .github/workflows/auto-reply-issue.yml
git commit -m "Add MoltBot auto-reply workflow"
git push

Step 4: Create Labels (Optional)

Create these labels in your repo for auto-labeling:

Label	Color	Description
bug	#d73a4a	Something isn't working
enhancement	#a2eeef	New feature or request
question	#d876e3	Further information requested
api	#0075ca	API related
frontend	#7057ff	Frontend related
documentation	#0075ca	Documentation improvements
needs-triage	#fbca04	Needs review

Go to: https://github.com/moltbook/moltbook-frontend/labels

How It Works

1. User opens new issue → MoltBot replies with helpful response
2. User comments on issue → MoltBot responds to follow-up
3. MoltBot auto-detects issue type and adds labels

Customization

Edit the system prompt in workflow file to customize MoltBot's personality and knowledge.
