+- [`.github/workflows/sync-project-priority.yaml`](.github/workflows/sync-project-priority.yaml): Reusable workflow (`workflow_call`) that adds an issue/PR to a Projects v2 board and syncs a `Priority` single-select field from `priority: <level>` labels. Caller repos invoke it on their issue and pull request events, passing the project's GraphQL node ID and a PAT with `project: write` scope:
+
+  ```yaml
+  on:
+    issues:
+      types: [opened, labeled, unlabeled]
+    pull_request_target:
+      types: [opened, labeled, unlabeled]
+  jobs:
+    sync:
+      uses: nebari-dev/.github/.github/workflows/sync-project-priority.yaml@main
+      with:
+        project-id: <PVT_…>
+      secrets:
+        token: ${{ secrets.ADD_TO_PROJECT_PAT }}
+  ```
+
+  > **Note**
+  > For the PR trigger, callers must use `pull_request_target`, **not** `pull_request`. PRs opened from forks do not receive secrets under `pull_request`, so the PAT is empty and the job fails. `pull_request_target` runs in the base repo's context, making the secret available. This is safe because the workflow checks out no PR code — it only reads trusted event metadata and calls the GitHub API.
