Research direction

Review the templates.hbs(github/workflows/automation) gist and the gh gist clone/just installation command first. Add .github/workflows/auto-assign.yml, .github/workflows/dependabot-issue.yml, and .github/dependabot.yml; the work is done when these three automation files are installed from the stated source.
