Trying out some logic to skip running this at all if someone is already assigned... Hard to test if this works without merging it and opening a new PR! 😆

PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 2 🔵🔵⚪⚪⚪

🧪 No relevant tests

🔒 Security concerns Pull Request Target: The workflow uses 'pull_request_target' trigger which runs with repository token and access to secrets. While this is needed for PR write permissions, it could be dangerous if combined with code checkout/execution since it runs in the context of the base repository.

⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Logic Error The condition to check if assignees exist appears incorrect. The current check for empty string in assignees array may not properly detect if assignees already exist.

Possible bug	Fix incorrect condition for checking empty assignees list in GitHub workflow The condition !contains(github.event.pull_request.assignees, '') is incorrect for checking if the PR has no assignees. Use github.event.pull_request.assignees.length == 0 instead. .github/workflows/auto-author-assign.yml [13] -if: ${{ !contains(github.event.pull_request.assignees, '') }} +if: ${{ github.event.pull_request.assignees.length == 0 }} Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9 Why: The current condition using !contains with empty string is logically incorrect for checking empty assignees. The suggested fix using length check is the proper way to detect if a PR has no assignees, preventing potential workflow failures.	9
