GitHub App Scaffold

Turn existing GitHub automation into a real GitHub App with Probot and the modern Octokit stack.

Stack (2026 Standard)

• Runtime: Node.js + TypeScript
• Framework: Probot
• Auth + App primitives: @octokit/app
• API client: @octokit/rest (via context.octokit)

Why this stack:

• Probot gives webhook-first structure, fast.
• @octokit/app handles JWT + installation tokens clean.
• You can drop to raw Octokit when you need control.
