The integration guide covers building custom automation \u2014 webhooks, GraphQL queries, triage logic from scratch. This guide is about the skill: installing it, scoping permissions correctly, and getting the daily &#8220;open PRs needing review&#8221; digest running in under 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>If you want automation that just works without building it yourself, this is the guide.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"installing-the-github-skill\">Installing the GitHub Skill<\/h2>\n<p>The GitHub skill is available in OpenClaw&#8217;s skill marketplace. Install it:<\/p>\n<div><pre><code>@openclaw install skill github\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n<p>Or from the skills directory:<\/p>\n<div><pre><code>@openclaw skills search github\n&gt; Found: github-core v2.1.0 \u2014 Issues, PRs, code review digest\n&gt; Install? [y\/n]\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n<p>After installation, the skill needs credentials before it can do anything useful:<\/p>\n<div><pre><code>@openclaw setup github skill\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n<p>This launches the guided setup flow.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"github-app-setup-the-right-auth-method\">GitHub App Setup: The Right Auth Method<\/h2>\n<p>The skill uses a GitHub App by default \u2014 not a Personal Access Token. This matters and is worth understanding before you proceed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why GitHub App, not PAT:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A PAT acts as you. Every comment, label, or status update OpenClaw makes shows up as your personal account. On active repos where colleagues see the activity feed, this creates noise. It also means if you rotate your PAT (which you should do periodically), the skill breaks until you update it.<\/p>\n<p>A GitHub App has its own identity, its own rate limit allocation, and doesn&#8217;t expire. Actions appear as &#8220;[YourAppName] \u00b7 GitHub App&#8221; \u2014 clearly identifiable as automation, not your personal activity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Create your GitHub App:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The skill setup flow walks you through this, but manually:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>GitHub \u2192 Settings \u2192 Developer settings \u2192 GitHub Apps \u2192 New GitHub App<\/li>\n<li><strong>App name:<\/strong> something like &#8220;OpenClaw-YourName&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Homepage URL:<\/strong> <code>https:\/\/paioclaw.ai<\/code> (or your own URL)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Webhook:<\/strong> Uncheck &#8220;Active&#8221; for now \u2014 you can enable later<\/li>\n<li><strong>Permissions:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Repository permissions:\n<ul>\n<li>Contents: Read-only<\/li>\n<li>Issues: Read and write<\/li>\n<li>Pull requests: Read and write<\/li>\n<li>Commit statuses: Read-only<\/li>\n<li>Metadata: Read-only (mandatory)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Account permissions: none needed for skill use<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Where can this be installed:<\/strong> Only on this account<\/li>\n<li>Create the App<\/li>\n<li>Generate a private key \u2192 download the <code>.pem<\/code> file<\/li>\n<li>Note the App ID (shown at the top of the App settings page)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Install the App on your repos:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>GitHub App settings \u2192 Install App \u2192 Install on your personal account \u2192 Choose repos (specific repos or all).<\/p>\n<div><pre><code>@openclaw configure github skill\n&gt; App ID: [paste your App ID]\n&gt; Private key path: [path to .pem file]\n&gt; Installation ID: [found in: github.com\/apps\/your-app-name\/installations]\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n<p>Verify:<\/p>\n<div><pre><code>@openclaw check github skill\n&gt; \u2705 Connected.

You can adjust this at any time:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>GitHub \u2192 Settings \u2192 Applications \u2192 Installed GitHub Apps \u2192 [Your App] \u2192 Configure<\/li>\n<li>Change repo access: All repositories vs. Only select repositories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> Start with &#8220;Only select repositories&#8221; and add repos explicitly. This limits blast radius if your App credentials are ever compromised, and keeps the skill focused on repos you actually care about.<\/p>\n<div><pre><code># OpenClaw GitHub skill config\ngithub:\n  focus_repos:\n    - \"yourorg\/main-product\"\n    - \"yourorg\/api-service\"\n    - \"yourname\/personal-project\"\n  ignore_repos:\n    - \"yourorg\/archived-*\"  # Glob patterns supported\n<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n<p>The <code>focus_repos<\/code> list filters OpenClaw&#8217;s queries \u2014 it won&#8217;t surface issues or PRs from repos not on the list, even if the App has access to them.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-daily-open-prs-needing-review-digest\">The Daily &#8220;Open PRs Needing Review&#8221; Digest<\/h2>\n<p>This is the highest-value default automation the GitHub skill provides.
