Description

Interact with GitHub using the `gh` CLI. Use `gh issue`, `gh pr`, `gh run`, and `gh api` for issues, PRs, CI runs, and advanced queries.

README (SKILL.md)

GitHub Skill

Use the gh CLI to interact with GitHub. Always specify --repo owner/repo when not in a git directory, or use URLs directly.

Pull Requests

Check CI status on a PR:

gh pr checks 55 --repo owner/repo

List recent workflow runs:

gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 10

View a run and see which steps failed:

gh run view \x3Crun-id> --repo owner/repo

View logs for failed steps only:

gh run view \x3Crun-id> --repo owner/repo --log-failed

API for Advanced Queries

The gh api command is useful for accessing data not available through other subcommands.

Get PR with specific fields:

gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls/55 --jq '.title, .state, .user.login'

JSON Output

Most commands support --json for structured output. You can use --jq to filter:

gh issue list --repo owner/repo --json number,title --jq '.[] | "\(.number): \(.title)"'

Usage Guidance

This skill is an instruction-only wrapper for the gh CLI. Before installing: ensure the machine running the agent has the gh CLI and is authenticated to GitHub (gh auth or GH_TOKEN). If you don't want the agent to access your GitHub account, don't install it or provide credentials. Prefer using a token with minimal scopes (repo/read or narrower) and consider a dedicated account or limited-scope token for automation. Note the skill omitted declaring the gh binary and auth requirements, which is likely an oversight rather than malicious behavior.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: nidhov01-github Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle provides standard instructions and examples for using the official GitHub CLI (`gh`) to interact with repositories, issues, and pull requests. The content in SKILL.md is purely educational and functional, containing no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection attacks.

Capability Assessment

ℹ Purpose & Capability

The name/description (GitHub via gh CLI) align with the runtime instructions. However, the metadata does not declare the gh binary as a required dependency nor does it mention authentication (e.g., GH_TOKEN or gh auth), which is a likely omission rather than a mismatch in purpose.

✓ Instruction Scope

SKILL.md only instructs running gh commands and using gh api/--json/--jq for queries; it does not direct the agent to read unrelated files, send data to third-party endpoints, or access unrelated environment variables.

✓ Install Mechanism

No install spec is provided (instruction-only), which is the lowest-risk pattern — nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself.

ℹ Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, but practical use requires GitHub authentication (gh uses local auth or GH_TOKEN). The absence of declared credential requirements is an omission the user should be aware of; the skill will operate with whatever GitHub credentials are available to the environment.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill is user-invocable/autonomous invocation is allowed (the platform default). The skill does not request persistent system-wide privileges or modify other skills' configs.

How to Use

Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
Run the install command in chat: /install nidhov01-github
After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /nidhov01-github
Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
