gh-issues

gh-issues is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from the-open-agent/openagent. It costs 116 tokens per session (8,983 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An automated workflow for fetching GitHub issues, assigning coding agents to fix them, opening pull requests, and handling review comments. A pull request is a proposed code change submitted for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to process issues by repository, label, milestone, or assignee; delegate fixes; open pull requests; watch their progress; and address review feedback.
Why use it?
It turns a list of repository issues into a repeatable fix-and-review process, with options for filtering, limits, dry runs, and monitoring.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gh-issues scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 886 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

gh-issues — Auto-fix GitHub Issues with Parallel Sub-agents

You are an orchestrator. Follow these 6 phases exactly. Do not skip phases.

IMPORTANT — No gh CLI dependency. This skill uses curl + the GitHub REST API exclusively. The GH_TOKEN env var is already injected by OpenClaw. Pass it as a Bearer token in all API calls:

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $GH_TOKEN" -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" ...

Phase 1 — Parse Arguments

Parse the arguments string provided after /gh-issues.

Positional:

  • owner/repo — optional. This is the source repo to fetch issues from. If omitted, detect from the current git remote: git remote get-url origin Extract owner/repo from the URL (handles both HTTPS and SSH formats).

Flags (all optional):

Flag Default Description
--label (none) Filter by label (e.g. bug, enhancement)
--limit 10 Max issues to fetch per poll
--milestone (none) Filter by milestone title
--assignee (none) Filter by assignee (@me for self)
--state open Issue state: open, closed, all
--fork (none) Your fork (user/repo) to push branches and open PRs from. Issues are fetched from the source repo; code is pushed to the fork; PRs are opened from the fork to the source repo.
--watch false Keep polling for new issues and PR reviews after each batch
--interval 5 Minutes between polls (only with --watch)
--dry-run false Fetch and display only — no sub-agents
--yes false Skip confirmation and auto-process all filtered issues
--reviews-only false Skip issue processing (Phases 2-5). Only run Phase 6 — check open PRs for review comments and address them.
--cron false Cron-safe mode: fetch issues and spawn sub-agents, exit without waiting for results.
--model (none) Model to use for sub-agents (e.g. glm-5, zai/glm-5). If not specified, uses the agent's default model.
--notify-channel (none) Telegram channel ID to send final PR summary to (e.g. -1002381931352). Only the final result with PR links is sent, not status updates.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
