/install github-cli
Description
Comprehensive GitHub CLI (gh) reference. Covers repos, issues, PRs, Actions, releases, gists, search, projects v2, API, secrets/variables, labels, codespaces...
Usage Guidance
Install only if you want a broad GitHub CLI reference. Treat every example as a live command against your GitHub account: verify the repo, org, account, scopes, and command effects before running token, secret, variable, delete, --yes, --admin, prompt-disabled, extension, or raw API mutation examples.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: github-cli
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a comprehensive reference for the GitHub CLI (`gh`), a powerful tool capable of extensive interactions with GitHub resources, including creating, modifying, and deleting repositories, issues, and pull requests. It is classified as suspicious due to the documentation of several high-risk capabilities that, if executed by an AI agent (potentially via prompt injection), could lead to unauthorized actions or data exposure. Specifically, `SKILL.md` includes examples for `gh auth status --show-token` (which can expose authentication tokens), `gh secret set` and `gh variable set` (for managing sensitive data), `gh extension install` (introducing a supply chain risk by allowing arbitrary code execution from external repositories), `gh repo delete` (for destructive actions), and `gh codespace cp` (for file transfer to/from remote environments).
Capability Assessment
Credentials
GitHub account access is proportionate to a GitHub CLI reference and depends on the user's existing gh authentication and scopes. The skill advises using --repo OWNER/REPO outside a repo directory, which helps target scoping.
Install Mechanism
The front matter only declares a required gh binary and optional brew or apt installation metadata. I found no install script, remote payload retrieval, embedded executable, or post-install action in the artifact.
Instruction Scope
The commands are presented as examples, not as autonomous runtime instructions. The artifact does include token-printing, --yes deletion, prompt-disabling, and raw API mutation examples without strong adjacent safety warnings, so users should apply explicit confirmation before running them.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill documents persistent gh operations such as config changes, auth setup for git, aliases, extensions, and SSH/GPG key management, but these are explicit GitHub CLI examples and not hidden persistence mechanisms.
Purpose & Capability
The skill's stated purpose is a comprehensive gh reference, and the artifact content coherently covers authentication, repositories, issues, PRs, Actions, releases, gists, projects, APIs, secrets, variables, extensions, and Codespaces. Some examples are high-impact because gh can mutate or delete GitHub resources.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install github-cli - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/github-cli - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
