Automation 8/30+: Put an AI agent inside Monday.com

The status column is green, yellow and red. None of those colours explain what the work actually is.

What it does

• Set an item's status column to "analyze" → the AI posts a repo-grounded breakdown as an update
• Reply on the item → it answers and sharpens the scope with you
• Set the status to "build" → it opens a pull request
• Talks to Monday over GraphQL, with a challenge-echo relay that routes every board event

What it does not do

It never changes your status column, never edits other columns, never merges.

Honest note: beta — built and smoke-tested, waiting on live boards.

Setup

clone → ./setup.sh → pick Monday.com → answer a few questions

~5 minutes. No server, no database, free.
