Automatically detects when PRs add new markdown files and posts a comment requesting removal or discussion with maintainers.

Implementation

  • Workflow: .github/workflows/detect-new-md-files.yml
    • Triggers: PR opened, synchronized, reopened
    • Filters for files with status: "added" and .md extension
    • Pagination support for PRs with 100+ files
    • Excludes bots (dependabot, sentry-autofix, etc.)

Behavior

Posts comment when new .md files detected:

⚠️ **New Markdown Files Detected**

This PR adds the following new .md file(s):

- `docs/new-guide.md`

Please remove these markdown files from the PR. If you believe this file is necessary, 
please create an issue to discuss it with the maintainers before adding it.

Technical Notes

  • Uses actions/github-script@v7 for GitHub API interaction
  • Error handling with stack trace logging for debugging
  • Follows existing repository patterns (bot exclusions match enforce-issue-number-in-description.yml)
  • Permissions: pull-requests: write, contents: read
Original prompt

add a github action to detect new .md files in a PR and add a comment to remove them.
