How do I find my GitHub Personal Access Token?

Go to your GitHub account settings, under **Developer Settings > Personal access tokens**, and create a new fine-grained token. Ensure it has read and write permissions for the repositories and discussions you want to target.

Can the agent post replies automatically?

Yes. Using the engagement tools, your agent can write and post Markdown replies directly into community issues or discussions.

How does the competitor scanning work?

The tool iterates through recent issues and discussions in specific competitor repositories, filtering for exact keywords like 'alternative', 'slow', or 'pricing'. It's highly efficient for finding interception points.
