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.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable letting the agent use your local GitHub CLI. Check `gh auth status`, prefer least-privileged GitHub access, and review any command that posts, edits, merges, deletes, or uses `gh api` beyond simple read-only queries.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: github
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides instructions for interacting with GitHub using the `gh` CLI. All examples provided in `SKILL.md` demonstrate read-only operations (e.g., checking PR status, listing runs, viewing API data). While the `gh api` command itself offers broad capabilities that could be misused if the agent's GitHub token has extensive permissions, the skill's instructions and examples do not show any intent for malicious behavior, data exfiltration, prompt injection, or other high-risk actions. The content is clearly aligned with its stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's purpose and content are coherent: it teaches use of `gh` for PRs, workflow runs, issues, and API queries. The `gh api` capability is broad, but the included example is read-only and purpose-aligned.
Instruction Scope
The examples are read-oriented and encourage explicit `--repo owner/repo` scoping. The skill does not include destructive examples, but users should still review any generated write, merge, delete, or non-read API command.
Install Mechanism
The artifact contains only `SKILL.md`; there are no executable scripts or install hooks. It depends on a preinstalled GitHub CLI, which is not declared as a bundled dependency.
Credentials
Using the local `gh` CLI is proportionate for a GitHub skill, but commands will run under the user's existing GitHub CLI authentication and permissions.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence, background process, privilege escalation, credential capture, stored state, or file mutation behavior appears in the artifact.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install github - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/github - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
