add-github

A GitHub channel integration for NanoClaw through Chat SDK, a toolkit for connecting agents to chat services. It lets the agent participate in pull-request and issue comment threads using a dedicated bot account.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to monitor and reply to GitHub pull-request comments and issue comments from a bot account with repository write access.
Why use it?
It brings GitHub conversations into the agent’s supported channels, so replies to pull requests and issues can be handled in their existing discussion threads.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

add-github scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 2d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

95% identical to add-github — 12 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 149 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Add GitHub Channel

Adds GitHub support via the Chat SDK bridge. The agent participates in PR and issue comment threads.

Prerequisites

You need a dedicated GitHub bot account (not your personal account). The adapter uses this account to post replies and filters out its own messages to avoid loops. Create a free GitHub account for your bot (e.g. my-org-bot), then invite it as a collaborator with write access to the repos you want monitored.

Install

NanoClaw doesn't ship channels in trunk. This skill copies the GitHub adapter in from the channels branch.

Pre-flight (idempotent)

Skip to Credentials if all of these are already in place:

  • src/channels/github.ts exists
  • src/channels/index.ts contains import './github.js';
  • @chat-adapter/github is listed in package.json dependencies

Otherwise continue. Every step below is safe to re-run.

1. Fetch the channels branch

git fetch origin channels

2. Copy the adapter

git show origin/channels:src/channels/github.ts > src/channels/github.ts

3. Append the self-registration import

Append to src/channels/index.ts (skip if the line is already present):

import './github.js';

4. Install the adapter package (pinned)

pnpm install @chat-adapter/[email protected]

5. Build

pnpm run build

Credentials

1. Create a Personal Access Token for the bot account

Log in as your bot account, then:

  1. Go to Settings > Developer Settings > Personal Access Tokens
  2. Create a Fine-grained token with:
    • Repository access: select the repos you want the bot to monitor
    • Permissions: Pull requests (Read & Write), Issues (Read & Write)
  3. Copy the token

2. Set up a webhook on each repo

On each repo (logged in as the repo owner/admin):

  1. Go to Settings > Webhooks > Add webhook
  2. Payload URL: https://your-domain/webhook/github (the shared webhook server, default port 3000)
  3. Content type: application/json
  4. Secret: generate a random string (e.g. openssl rand -hex 20)
  5. Events: select Issue comments and Pull request review comments

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
