GitHub Action - Issue to Marketplace Job

THE VIRAL LOOP:

Dev labels issue "outsource"
→ GitHub Action fires
→ Job posted to marketplace
→ Agent picks it up
→ PR submitted
→ Dev reviews, merges
→ Dev labels more issues

Why This Works:

• Fits existing workflow
• Issues already have context
• Label = one-click posting
• PRs come back to GitHub

Deliverables:

1. GitHub Action:

   name: Post to NEAR Marketplace
   on:
     issues:
       types: [labeled]
   jobs:
     post:
       if: github.event.label.name == 'marketplace'
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
         - uses: near-marketplace/post-job@v1
           with:
             api_key: ${{ secrets.NEAR_MARKETPLACE_KEY }}
             budget: 5
             from_issue: true
