+# Automatically tag issues and pull requests as "external" or "internal"
+# based on whether the author is a member of the langchain-ai
+# GitHub organization.
+#
+# Setup Requirements:
+# 1. Create a GitHub App with permissions:
+#    - Repository: Issues (write), Pull requests (write)
+#    - Organization: Members (read)
+# 2. Install the app on your organization and this repository
+# 3. Add these repository secrets:
+#    - ORG_MEMBERSHIP_APP_ID: Your app's ID
+#    - ORG_MEMBERSHIP_APP_PRIVATE_KEY: Your app's private key
+#
+# The GitHub App token is required to check private organization membership.
+# Without it, the workflow will fail.
