gh-issues

name gh-issues description Fetch GitHub issues, select candidates, spawn background fix agents, open PRs, and optionally process PR review comments. user-invocable true metadata {"openclaw":{"requires":{"bins":"[Truncated]"},"primaryEnv":"GH_TOKEN","install":["[Truncated]"]}} gh-issues Use for issue-to-PR automation. Prefer gh CLI; fall back to gh api only when a high-level command lacks the needed field. Arguments positional owner/repo : optional; else infer from git remote get-url origin . --label <label> : filter. --limit <n> : default 10. --milestone <title> : filter. --assignee <login|@me> : filter. --state open|closed|all : default open. --fork <owner/repo> : push branches to fork, PR to source. --watch : poll issues + reviews. --interval <minutes> : default 5. --dry-run : list only. --yes : no confirmation. --reviews-only : skip issue fixing; handle PR reviews. --cron : spawn and exit; implies --yes . --model <id> : pass to workers when supported. --notify-channel <id> : optional final notification target. Phase 1: resolve repo git remote get-url origin if [ -z " ${GH_TOKEN:-} " ]; then CONFIG_PATH= " ${OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH:- ${OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR:- $HOME /.openclaw} /openclaw.json} " GH_TOKEN=$(jq -r '.skills.entries["gh-issues"].apiKey // empty' " $CONFIG_PATH " 2>/dev/null || true ) if [ -n " $GH_TOKEN " ]; then export GH_TOKEN; fi fi gh auth status gh repo view OWNER/REPO --json nameWithOwner,defaultBranchRef If gh auth status fails and GH_TOKEN is missing, stop and ask for GitHub auth/config. Derived: SOURCE_REPO : issue repo. PUSH_REPO : fork if set, else source. BASE_BRANCH : source default branch unless user says otherwise. PUSH_REMOTE : fork in fork mode, else origin . Stop on dirty worktree unless user confirms that workers should ignore uncommitted changes. In fork mode, do not mutate remotes before confirmation or during --dry-run . Verify auth/read access only: gh auth token >/dev/null || test -n " ${GH_TOKEN:-} " gh repo view " $PUSH_REPO " --json nameWithOwner git ls-remote --exit-code origin HEAD Phase 2: fetch issues Build filters and fetch: gh issue list --repo " $SOURCE_REPO " --state open -- limit 10 --json number,title,labels,url,body,assignees,milestone Add --label , --milestone , --assignee , --state , --limit as requested. gh issue list already excludes PRs. If none found: report no matches. If --dry-run : show compact list and stop. Phase 3: avoid duplicate work For each candidate: gh pr list --repo " $SOURCE_REPO " --search " $SOURCE_REPO #<n>" --state open --json number,url,title,headRefName gh pr list --repo " $SOURCE_REPO " -- head "fix/issue-<n>" --state open --json number,url gh api "repos/ $PUSH_REPO /branches/fix/issue-<n>" >/dev/null Skip candidates with an open PR, existing branch, or active local claim. Claim file: ${OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.openclaw}/gh-issues-<owner>-<repo>.json Expire claims older than 2 hours. Create the parent directory before writing. Phase 4: confirm Unless --yes or --cron , ask user to choose: all comma-separated issue numbers cancel After confirmation, in fork mode, configure the push remote before handing work to agents: gh auth setup-git git remote get-url fork || git remote add fork "https://github.com/ $PUSH_REPO .git" git remote set-url fork "https://github.com/ $PUSH_REPO .git" git ls-remote --exit-code fork HEAD Phase 5: spawn workers Launch up to 8 background workers. Do not block on each worker when --cron . Before each spawn, write a claim for SOURCE_REPO#<n> with the current ISO timestamp. After a worker reports PR/failure, remove or update the claim. This prevents watch/cron overlap before a branch or PR exists. Worker prompt must include: issue URL, title, body, labels. SOURCE_REPO , PUSH_REPO , BASE_BRANCH , PUSH_REMOTE , fork mode. target branch fix/issue-<n> . required proof and PR body. notification route. Worker instructions: Use gh and git. Do not handwave. Checkout/create fix/issue-<n> from BASE_BRANCH. Implement minimal fix. Run relevant tests. Commit with conventional message. Push to PUSH_REMOTE. Open PR against SOURCE_REPO BASE_BRANCH. PR body: What Problem This Solves + Why This Change Was Made + User Impact + Evidence + visible Fixes SOURCE_REPO#<n>. Report PR URL or failure reason. Send completion/failure with openclaw message send if route provided. Use coding-agent launch rules when available. Phase 6: collect Poll workers with process or task registry. Report: issue number + title. status: PR opened, skipped, failed, timed out. PR URL or reason. Notify channel only with final compact summary. Reviews-only / watch reviews Discover open PRs: gh pr list --repo " $SOURCE_REPO " --state open --json number,title,url,headRefName,reviewDecision \ --jq '[.[] | select(.headRefName | startswith("fix/issue-"))]' Fetch review threads/comments: gh pr view <n> --repo " $SOURCE_REPO " --json url,headRefName,comments,reviews gh api "repos/ $SOURCE_REPO /pulls/<n>/comments" gh api "repos/ $SOURCE_REPO /issues/<n>/comments" Only process fix/issue-* PRs created by this workflow unless the user explicitly named PR numbers. Group actionable comments by PR. Ignore praise, status, duplicates, and already-addressed comments. Spawn one worker per selected/scoped PR, same background rules. Review worker instructions: Checkout PR branch. Read all actionable review comments. Patch minimal changes. Run relevant tests. Commit and push normally; do not force-push unless explicitly told. Reply to addressed comments with fix + commit/file reference. Report comments addressed/skipped and proof. Watch mode Loop: Fetch issues. Spawn eligible issue workers. Process actionable PR reviews. Sleep --interval . Stop when user says stop. Keep cumulative summary small.
