GitHub

Connect Clawly to GitHub to manage your repositories, issues, pull requests, and workflows — all through natural conversation.

What You Can Do

Issues & Pull Requests

• Create, list, and close GitHub issues
• Open and review pull requests
• Add comments and labels
• Assign issues to team members

Repository Management

• List repositories and branches
• View file contents and commit history
• Search code across repositories
• Create and manage releases

Workflow Automation

• Trigger GitHub Actions workflows
• Monitor CI/CD pipeline status
• Get notified about failed builds

Example Commands

"Create a GitHub issue: Button alignment broken on mobile"

"List all open PRs in my main repo"

"What issues are assigned to me?"

"Show me the last 5 commits in the main branch"

"Close issue #42"

"Create a branch called feature/dark-mode"

Setup

1. Create a GitHub Personal Access Token

1. Go to github.com/settings/tokens
2. Click Generate new token → Fine-grained tokens (recommended) or Classic
3. Give it a descriptive name like "Clawly"
4. Set expiration (90 days recommended)
5. Select the scopes you need:
   • repo — Full repository access (required)
   • issues — Issue management
   • pull_requests — PR management
   • actions — Workflow triggers (optional)
6. Click Generate token
7. Copy the token immediately — it won't be shown again

2. Add to Clawly

1. Go to your Clawly Dashboard
2. Find the GitHub skill
3. Click Configure
4. Paste your Personal Access Token
5. Optionally set a default repository
6. Click Save

How It Works

When you ask Clawly to manage GitHub:

1. Authentication — Uses your Personal Access Token via GitHub REST API
2. Action execution — Creates, updates, or reads the requested resource
3. Confirmation — Returns a link or summary of what was done

Tips

• Specify the repo — "In my acme/webapp repo, create an issue..." avoids ambiguity
• Use issue numbers — "Close issue #42" is faster than searching by title
• Set a default repo — Configure a default repo in the skill settings to skip repeating it
