Troubleshooting

Symptom Solution
ERRORE: token GitHub non trovato / token not found Set GITHUB_TOKEN or create .secrets/github_token
ERRORE: repository GitHub non configurato / repo not configured Create tracker/github_repo or GITHUB_REPO in .env
HTTP 401 Token expired or revoked — generate a new one
HTTP 404 Wrong repo slug or token has no access
HTTP 403 Insufficient permissions — Issues read/write required
SSL certificate error pip install -r requirements-optional.txt (truststore)
Agent never runs the script Add instruction file for your platform — see Platforms
Agent asks user to paste commands Strengthen AGENTS.md: execute script directly
Works in Cursor, not Copilot Check .github/copilot-instructions.md and AGENTS.md
Works in terminal, not in agent Enable shell/terminal permissions in agent settings
Wrong working directory Open repository root where scripts/ lives

Verify setup

python -c "import os; print('token:', 'OK' if os.environ.get('GITHUB_TOKEN') else 'MISSING')"
cat tracker/github_repo
python scripts/github_issue.py list
