/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 an agent to reference GitHub CLI commands. Keep `gh` authenticated with the minimum scopes needed, confirm repo names before mutating or deleting anything, do not print or paste tokens, review `.env` files before importing them, and install `gh` extensions only from trusted repositories.
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
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is a comprehensive `gh` command reference, and the documented repository, issue, PR, Actions, secrets, variables, Codespaces, extension, API, and auth commands fit that purpose, including high-impact GitHub operations.
Instruction Scope
The artifact is a command catalog, not executable automation. It includes examples that can reveal tokens, disable prompts, delete repositories, and mutate GitHub resources, so agents should treat them as examples requiring explicit user intent.
Install Mechanism
The skill contains only `SKILL.md` and declares standard `gh` installation through package managers; no bundled scripts, postinstall hooks, or hidden installers were found.
Credentials
Use of local GitHub authentication, `GH_TOKEN`, secrets, variables, and Codespaces is proportionate for a GitHub CLI reference, but these can expose or change private account and organization data if used carelessly.
Persistence & Privilege
The documented `gh auth login`, `gh auth setup-git`, config changes, aliases, and extension installs can persist local configuration or third-party code, which is normal for `gh` but should remain user-directed.
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
