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 a set of `gh` CLI usage examples and is coherent with its stated purpose. Before installing/using it: (1) ensure the `gh` CLI is installed and you understand which GitHub account is authenticated (the skill does not provide or require credentials but will use whatever `gh` is configured with), (2) be aware that if you let the agent invoke the skill autonomously it can run any `gh` command allowed by that account (including reading or modifying repositories), and (3) verify repository names and permissions to avoid accidental changes to sensitive org repos. Note: the registry metadata ownerId differs slightly from the _meta.json ownerId in the package — this is a minor inconsistency to be aware of but does not change the functional assessment.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: github-tools Version: 1.0.1 The github-tools skill provides standard documentation and usage examples for the GitHub CLI (gh) to manage issues, pull requests, and workflow runs. The instructions in SKILL.md are well-aligned with the stated purpose and do not contain any malicious commands, data exfiltration attempts, or prompt injection risks.

Capability Assessment

✓ Purpose & Capability

The name/description (GitHub `gh` CLI helper) matches the SKILL.md instructions (examples for `gh pr`, `gh run`, `gh api`, etc.). The skill does not request unrelated binaries or credentials.

✓ Instruction Scope

The instructions are limited to invoking `gh` commands with --repo or URLs and using --json/--jq for output. They do not instruct reading arbitrary files, accessing unrelated environment variables, or transmitting data to external endpoints outside of GitHub.

✓ Install Mechanism

No install spec or code is included (instruction-only), so nothing is written to disk by the skill itself. Risk from installation is minimal — the user must have the `gh` CLI available separately.

✓ Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. This is proportionate: `gh` itself requires authentication but that is managed outside the skill (e.g., `gh auth`).

✓ Persistence & Privilege

always:false (not force-included). disable-model-invocation is false (normal), so the agent could call the skill autonomously — expected for skills. There is no request to modify other skills or system-wide config.

How to Use

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