+# 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:
+# Option 1: GitHub App (Recommended - no user dependency)
+# 1. Create a GitHub App with permissions:
+#    - Repository: Issues (write), Pull requests (write)
+#    - Organization: Members (read)
+# 2. Install the app on your organization
+# 3. Add these secrets:
+#    - ORG_MEMBERSHIP_APP_ID: Your app's ID
+#    - ORG_MEMBERSHIP_APP_PRIVATE_KEY: Your app's private key
+#
+# Option 2: Personal Access Token (simpler but user-dependent)
+# 1. Create a Personal Access Token (classic) with:
+#    - repo scope (for issues/PRs access)
+#    - read:org scope (for organization membership checks)
+# 2. Add the PAT as ORG_MEMBERSHIP_TOKEN repository secret
+#
+# The workflow will fall back to GITHUB_TOKEN if no secrets are set,
+# but this will only show public organization memberships.
