Description
Monitor GitHub repos for issues, PRs, and CI activity with label filters and scheduled notifications via cron or messages.
README (SKILL.md)
GH Monitor
Examples
- "Watch open bugs in myrepo": gh issue list --label bug --state open --limit 20
- "PR status": gh pr list --state open --limit 10
- Daily cron: cron add schedule.cron expr="0 9 * * *" payload.systemEvent "Check GH: new issues/PRs"
Workflow
- Setup: gh auth status; gh repo view owner/repo
- Query: gh search issues "is:open label:bug" --json
- Alert: message urgent PRs/unmerged.
- Advanced: gh run list --status failure; browser for comments.
Read refs/gh-commands.md + gh-issues/SKILL.md.
Scripts
scripts/check-repo.py: Poll + notify.
assets/alert-template.md: Slack/Discord format.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a high-level set of instructions that expect: (1) the gh CLI to be installed and authenticated (gh auth / GITHUB_TOKEN), (2) a scripts/check-repo.py and assets/alert-template.md (which are not included), and (3) access to a scheduler and a messaging endpoint (Slack/Discord) that are not declared. Before installing or enabling this skill: 1) Ask the publisher for the full source or a homepage/repo so you can inspect scripts and templates. 2) Confirm which credentials it will need (GitHub token, Slack/Discord webhook) and only provide least-privilege tokens or test accounts. 3) Verify where cron jobs will be created and what payloads are sent; avoid allowing unknown skills to create persistent scheduled tasks. 4) If you cannot review the missing scripts, run the skill in an isolated account or environment. Because of the missing files and undeclared credential needs, treat this package as incomplete and verify its implementation before trusting it with real credentials.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: gh-monitor
Version: 1.1.0
The skill bundle provides instructions and command references for monitoring GitHub repositories using the official GitHub CLI (gh). The files (SKILL.md, _meta.json, and references/gh-commands.md) contain standard workflows for listing issues, pull requests, and workflow runs, with no evidence of malicious code, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill claims to monitor GitHub via the gh CLI and to send notifications, but the registry metadata declares no required binaries or credentials. A monitoring skill legitimately needs gh (or a GitHub API token); not declaring these is incoherent.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run gh commands, use 'cron add', and run scripts/check-repo.py and assets/alert-template.md, yet those script and asset files are not present in the package. Instructions also reference other skills (gh-issues) and reading their SKILL.md — this expands scope and depends on external content not provided.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files — instruction-only — which minimizes install-time risk. However, missing referenced files shift risk to runtime behavior that can't be inspected.
Credentials
No environment variables or primary credential are declared, but the workflow requires authenticated gh usage (implying a GitHub token or gh-auth). The skill also implies scheduling notifications (cron) and sending messages (Slack/Discord templates) but does not declare endpoints or credentials for those services.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and is user-invocable, which is normal. However, SKILL.md references adding cron schedules and running a polling script — these behaviors create persistent scheduled activity if implemented, so users should verify what will be scheduled and where notifications are sent before enabling.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install gh-monitor - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/gh-monitor - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
