Description
GitHub API integration with managed OAuth. Access repositories, issues, pull requests, commits, branches, and users.
Use this skill when users want to interact with GitHub repositories, manage issues and PRs, search code, or automate workflows.
For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (
Usage Guidance
Install only if you trust Maton to broker your GitHub OAuth access. Before using it for writes, confirm the exact repository, account connection, and whether the action is reversible, especially for merges, deletes, branch changes, collaborator changes, or organization-level actions.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill can read and modify GitHub repositories, issues, pull requests, branches, contents, and related resources, but those capabilities match its stated GitHub API integration purpose.
Instruction Scope
Instructions require explicit user approval for create, update, and delete operations, confirmation of exact targets, and connection selection when multiple GitHub accounts are connected.
Install Mechanism
The artifact is a single markdown skill file; installation guidance points to the Maton CLI via npm or Homebrew and discloses the required MATON_API_KEY environment variable.
Credentials
Network access, a Maton API key, and GitHub OAuth are proportionate for this integration, though GitHub requests are routed through Maton's API proxy.
Persistence & Privilege
Persistent state is limited to the user's Maton API key and managed GitHub OAuth connections, with documented commands to list, select, create, and delete connections.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install github-api - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/github-api - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
