What This Repository Is

Based on the codebase analysis, this is a Copier template repository that enables users to add AI capabilities to their existing GitHub repositories. It's part of Chris Mungall's AI4Curation ecosystem.

Key Components:

Copier Template: Uses Copier for code scaffolding
AI Integration: Provides templates for Claude Code, Dragon AI, and CBORG integrations
Self-Documenting: This repo "eats its own dogfood" - it uses the template on itself

Missing Context for README

The referenced documentation reveals several important concepts that should be added to the README:

Background Information Needed:

What is AI-powered GitHub Actions? - Explanation of autonomous AI agents responding to issues/PRs
Cost Considerations - "Agentic AI usage can be costly" - important warning
Architecture Overview - How the AI agents work together (Claude Code, Goose AI, etc.)
Prerequisites - API access requirements, GitHub permissions
Use Cases - When and why you'd want AI GitHub Actions

Technical Details to Add:

Workflow configuration (.github/workflows/ai.yml)
Agent configuration (.config/goose/config.yaml, .goosehints)
Required secrets and environment variables
LiteLLM proxy setup for API access
Best practices for agent behavior tuning

Recommendations

Immediate: Add background section explaining AI GitHub Actions concept
Context: Explain this is part of AI4Curation ecosystem
Warning: Include cost/monitoring considerations prominently
Examples: Link to working examples or demos

The current README is quite terse and assumes familiarity with AI GitHub Actions. Adding the background context will make it much more accessible to new users.

Add more background to README #1
