Install the skill
Install via clawhub
npx clawhub@latest install github
The github skill wraps the GitHub CLI (gh) and exposes it to your AI agent.
Example commands
# Review the latest PR
openclaw ask "Review the latest PR in this repo"
Reviewing PR #42: Add dark mode support...
Summary: Adds CSS variables for theme switching...
# List bug issues
openclaw ask "List all open issues labeled bug"
#18 Login redirect loop (bug, high-priority)
#23 CSS overflow on mobile (bug)
# Check CI status
openclaw ask "Check if CI passed on the main branch"
✓ All checks passed on main (3/3)
How it works
OpenClaw CLI acts as a watchdog daemon that keeps your AI agent always running. When you install the GitHub skill, your agent gains the ability to interact with GitHub repositories through the gh CLI. No API tokens to configure manually — the skill uses your existing GitHub CLI authentication.
