Implement automated GitHub label synchronization from README documentation #278

Description

@TooAngel

Implement automation to keep GitHub repository labels synchronized with the documentation in README.md.

Concept:
The worlddriven application democratizes repository management through automated processes. The project should apply this philosophy to itself by automatically managing its own GitHub labels based on documentation changes.

Implementation Ideas:

  • Documentation-driven labels: Parse label definitions from README.md
  • Automated sync on PR merge: Detect when label documentation changes and update GitHub labels accordingly
  • Validation checks: Ensure documentation matches actual GitHub labels
  • CI/CD integration: Add workflow step to sync labels after README changes

Technical Approach:

  • Parse markdown label documentation from README.md
  • Compare with current GitHub labels via API
  • Create/update/delete labels to match documentation
  • Run as part of CI/CD pipeline or webhook processing

Benefits:

  • Consistency: Labels always match documentation
  • Self-managing: Worlddriven manages its own repository automatically
  • Democratic: Changes go through PR review process before taking effect
  • Transparent: All label changes are documented and version controlled

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Design label definition format in README.md (structured parsing)
  • Implement label parser for markdown documentation
  • Create GitHub API integration for label management
  • Add automation trigger (webhook/CI on README changes)
  • Include validation to prevent accidental label deletion
  • Test with current label set
  • Document the automation process

Priority: Medium
