gh-issues
Fetch GitHub issues, select candidates, spawn background fix agents, open PRs
by openclawFree
Description
gh-issues is an agent skill from the OpenClaw project, listed on skills.sh. It automates going from GitHub issues to pull requests: an agent fetches issues, picks good candidates, starts background agents to fix them, opens pull requests and can work through review comments. It prefers the gh CLI and falls back to gh api only when a command lacks a field. Like every skill, it is a SKILL.md file of instructions the agent reads when the task calls for it, so the agent knows which commands to run and what to avoid. It is free and open source in the openclaw/openclaw repository on GitHub.…
