SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Live GitHub searches are slow and rate-limited when triaging large issue and PR backlogs. This Skill lets you query a local archive of OpenClaw issues and PRs first, checking freshness and finding duplicates before making any live GitHub calls. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Local Archive Search: Query cached issues and PRs with gitcrawl search, threads, and neighbors commands, with freshness checks via gitcrawl doctor. - Duplicate Detection: Find duplicate clusters with gitcrawl clusters and inspect them with cluster-detail to consolidate related reports. - Safe PR Triage: Use the cached gh shim for status checks, then escalate to live gh verification before commenting, labeling, closing, or merging. - Use Case: When a new bug report arrives, search the local archive for related threads and duplicate clusters, then verify with live GitHub data before deciding to close it as a duplicate. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to check archive freshness with gitcrawl doctor, then search the local OpenClaw issue archive for threads related to a given issue number.

Frequently Asked Questions about gitcrawl

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search GitHub issues without hitting rate limits?▼

Use gitcrawl to query a local archive of issues and PRs instead of the live GitHub API. Run gitcrawl search issues with your query and repo, and check archive freshness first with gitcrawl doctor --json.

How do I find duplicate GitHub issues in a large repository?▼

Run gitcrawl clusters on the repository to list duplicate clusters sorted by size, then inspect a specific group with gitcrawl cluster-detail. Verify matches with live gh issue view before closing anything as a duplicate.

How do I check PR status before merging with gitcrawl?▼

Start with the cached shim using gitcrawl gh pr status for a compact view, then run gitcrawl gh --live pr status or gh pr view with JSON fields to confirm current state before merging or reviewing.

Can gitcrawl close or label issues automatically?▼

No. The Skill explicitly requires live gh verification plus checkout proof before commenting, labeling, closing, reopening, merging, or filing a review. Similarity alone is never sufficient for mutations.

What are the requirements to install gitcrawl?▼

The gitcrawl binary is required and can be installed via Go with go install github.com/openclaw/gitcrawl/cmd/gitcrawl@latest. The gh CLI is also used for live verification steps.
