Implementation Steps and Code Examples

Step 1: Install Dependencies

cd packages/github-projects
npm install @octokit/graphql @octokit/rest
npm install -D typescript vitest

Step 2: Create Project Structure

packages/github-projects/
├── package.json
├── tsconfig.json
├── README.md
└── src/
    ├── index.ts       # Main exports
    ├── types.ts       # TypeScript definitions
    ├── client.ts      # GraphQL client
    ├── setup.ts       # Project setup utilities
    └── client.test.ts # Unit tests

Step 3: Implement GraphQL Client

// packages/github-projects/src/client.ts
import { graphql } from '@octokit/graphql';

export class GitHubProjectsClient {
  private graphqlWithAuth: typeof graphql;

  constructor(config: ProjectConfig) {
    this.graphqlWithAuth = graphql.defaults({
      headers: {
        authorization: `token ${config.token}`,
      },
    });
  }

  async getProjectInfo(): Promise<ProjectInfo> {
    const query = `
      query($owner: String!, $number: Int!) {
        user(login: $owner) {
          projectV2(number: $number) {
            id
            title
            fields(first: 20) {
              nodes {
                ... on ProjectV2Field {
                  id
                  name
                  dataType
                }
                ... on ProjectV2SingleSelectField {
                  id
                  name
                  options {
                    id
                    name
                  }
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    `;

    return this.graphqlWithAuth(query, {
      owner: this.config.project.owner,
      number: this.config.project.projectNumber,
    });
  }
}

Step 4: Create Setup Script

// scripts/setup-github-project.ts
import { GitHubProjectSetup } from '@agentic-os/github-projects';

async function main() {
  const token = process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN!;
  const owner = process.env.GITHUB_OWNER || 'ShunsukeHayashi';

  const setup = new GitHubProjectSetup(token);

  console.log('🚀 Starting GitHub Project V2 setup...\n');

  const result = await setup.setupCompleteProject(
    owner,
    'Autonomous Operations Task Board'
  );

  console.log('✅ Project setup complete!');
  console.log(`   ID: ${result.projectId}`);
  console.log(`   Number: ${result.projectNumber}`);
}

main().catch(console.error);

Step 5: Configure Workflows

Troubleshooting Guide

Issue: Permission Error

Symptom:

Error: Resource not accessible by personal access token

Solution:

# Ensure token has 'project' scope
gh auth refresh -s project

# Or generate new token with required scopes:
# - repo (full control)
# - project (read:project, write:project)

Issue: Project Not Found

Symptom:

ProjectNotFoundError: Project #1 not found

Solutions:

1. Verify PROJECT_NUMBER in .env
2. Run npm run project:info to check accessibility
3. Ensure project exists in repository
4. Check token has access to project

Issue: Rate Limit Exceeded

Symptom:

RateLimitExceededError: Rate limit exceeded

Solutions:

1. SDK automatically retries with exponential backoff
2. Wait for rate limit reset (check X-RateLimit-Reset header)
3. Adjust maxRetries in client config:

const client = new GitHubProjectsClient({
  token,
  project,
  maxRetries: 5, // Increase from default 3
});

Issue: GraphQL Query Timeout

Symptom:

Error: GraphQL request timeout after 30s

Solutions:

1. Check GitHub API status: https://www.githubstatus.com/
2. Reduce query complexity (pagination)
3. Implement query batching
4. Add query timeout configuration

Issue: Custom Field Not Found

Symptom:

FieldNotFoundError: Field 'Agent' not found in project

Solutions:

1. Run setup script again: npm run setup:project
2. Verify field name matches exactly (case-sensitive)
3. Check field exists in project UI
4. Clear cache and retry

Next Phase Transition

Phase B Dependencies Unlocked

Phase A completion enables Phase B: Webhooks

• Agent execution results can now be recorded in Projects
• Metrics tracking is operational
• Webhook events can update custom fields

Phase E Dependencies Unlocked

Phase A completion enables Phase E: Dashboard

• Cost field is ready for tracking
• Weekly cost reports auto-generate
• Dashboard can query Projects V2 for real-time data

Integration Points

For Phase B (Webhooks):

// Webhook can now update Project fields
import { GitHubProjectsClient } from '@agentic-os/github-projects';

async function onWebhookEvent(event: WebhookEvent) {
  const client = new GitHubProjectsClient({ token, project });
  const item = await client.getProjectItemByNumber(event.issueNumber);

  if (item) {
    await client.setSingleSelectFieldByName(item.id, 'Agent', 'CodeGen');
    await client.setNumberField(item.id, 'Duration', event.duration);
    await client.setNumberField(item.id, 'Cost', event.cost);
  }
}

For Phase E (Dashboard):

// Dashboard can fetch real-time metrics
import { GitHubProjectsClient } from '@agentic-os/github-projects';

async function fetchDashboardData() {
  const client = new GitHubProjectsClient({ token, project });
  const metrics = await client.calculateAgentMetrics();

  return {
    totalIssues: metrics.totalIssues,
    completedIssues: metrics.completedIssues,
    averageCost: metrics.averageCost,
    averageQuality: metrics.averageQuality,
  };
}
