GitHub Integration
Manage repositories, pull requests, issues, and code review through conversation.
What This Skill Does
The GitHub skill gives your agent full repository management capabilities through natural conversation. Create and manage repositories, branches, and pull requests. Review code diffs and post review comments. Create, assign, and close issues. Search code across repos. Monitor CI/CD workflow runs. Manage releases and tags. The skill uses GitHub's API with scoped personal access tokens. For security, we recommend creating separate tokens for experimentation vs production, scoping tokens to specific organizations and repositories, and never granting admin-level repository access.
Example workflow
Your agent monitors open PRs every morning, summarizes code changes, flags PRs that have been open for more than 3 days without review, and posts a team summary to Slack.

GitHub Integration: Common Questions
What can the GitHub skill do in OpenClaw?
The GitHub skill lets your OpenClaw agent manage repositories, create and review pull requests, triage issues, monitor CI/CD pipelines, and search code across repos. Your agent can automatically label issues, assign reviewers, summarize PR changes, and notify your team on Slack or Discord when builds fail.
Can the GitHub skill merge PRs automatically?
At Intern trust level, the agent will prepare the merge and ask for your approval. At Specialist or Lead level, you can configure it to auto-merge PRs that pass CI checks and have the required approvals. Write operations always respect your configured trust level.
Does the GitHub skill work with GitHub Enterprise?
Yes. The skill supports both GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise Server. You provide your GitHub personal access token or OAuth app credentials, and the skill connects to whichever instance you configure.
Is the GitHub skill included with BetterClaw?
Yes. The GitHub skill is included with every BetterClaw agent at $19/month. No additional fees. It is security-audited through BetterClaw's 4-layer vetting process and runs in a Docker-sandboxed environment.
