Ports the "Issue Monster" agentic workflow from gh-aw to this repository.

What it does

Runs hourly on schedule
Searches for open issues using smart filtering (excludes wontfix, question, blocked, etc.)
Prioritizes by label scoring (good-first-issue: +50, security: +45, bug: +40, etc.)
Assigns up to 3 non-conflicting issues to Copilot agents
Comments on each assigned issue

Changes

issue-monster.md: Agentic workflow source with prompts and configuration
issue-monster.lock.yml: Compiled GitHub Actions workflow

Schema adaptation

Updated assign-to-agent safe-output to match local schema:

# Original gh-aw schema
assign-to-agent:
  max: 3
  target: "*"
  allowed: [copilot]

# This repo's schema
assign-to-agent:
  name: "copilot"

Original prompt

port issue monster agent over here: https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw/blob/main/.github/workflows/issue-monster.md

Custom agent used: create-agentic-workflow
Design agentic workflows using GitHub Agentic Workflows (gh-aw) extension with interactive guidance on triggers, tools, and security best practices.

✨ Let Copilot coding agent set things up for you — coding agent works faster and does higher quality work when set up for your repo.
