SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires curl, git, jq.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill reduces the time you spend triaging GitHub issues by automatically fetching matching issues and having parallel sub-agents implement fixes and open pull requests.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Issue fetching with filters: Select issues by owner/repo, label, milestone, assignee, and state, and exclude pull requests from the returned results.
  • Parallel auto-fix orchestration: Runs up to 8 concurrent sub-agents to create fix branches, implement changes, push to your fork (optional), and open PRs via the GitHub REST API.
  • PR review comment remediation: Optionally monitors open fix PRs and spawns a review-fix agent to address actionable review feedback.
  • Operational modes: Supports watch polling, cron-safe fire-and-forget spawning, dry-run inspection, and approvals workflow via confirmation prompts.

Quick Start

Run the Skill with your repo and a label filter by telling OpenClaw: Fetch and auto-fix open GitHub issues in owner/repo labeled bug, limit to 5, then open PRs with the changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically fix GitHub issues and open pull requests?

To automatically fix GitHub issues and open pull requests, this Skill fetches filtered issues via the GitHub REST API and spawns parallel sub-agents to implement fixes and create PRs. It orchestrates branch creation, code changes, and PR submissions concurrently.

Can I filter which GitHub issues are processed for auto-fixing?

Yes, you can filter GitHub issues for auto-fixing by owner, repository, label, milestone, assignee, and state. The Skill uses these filters to exclude pull requests and fetch only matching open issues for remediation.

Do I need a GitHub token to run automated issue triage?

Yes, you need a valid GH_TOKEN to run automated issue triage. The Skill uses curl with the GitHub REST API to resolve this token, list issues, inspect review comments, and post pull requests and notifications as configured.

What is the best way to address GitHub PR review comments automatically?

The best way to address GitHub PR review comments automatically is using the review-fix agent. This Skill optionally monitors open fix PRs and spawns a dedicated agent to implement changes based on actionable review feedback.

How does fork-mode workflow handle automated code fixes?

In fork-mode workflow, automated code fixes are pushed to your fork before opening pull requests. The Skill supports normal, watch, cron, dry-run, fork-mode, and reviews-only workflows while integrating branch existence checks and claim-based deduplication.

What are the limitations of running parallel agents for issue triage?

A limitation of running parallel agents for issue triage is a maximum of 8 concurrent sub-agents. To prevent duplicates, the Skill applies safety checks like existing PR detection and claim-based deduplication before spawning new fix branches.
