Fetch GitHub issues, select candidates, spawn background fix agents, open PRs, and optionally process PR review comments.
Current weather and forecasts with web_fetch, falling back to wttr.in curl for locations, rain, temperature, travel planning.
Triage, redact, clean up, and resolve OpenClaw GitHub Secret Scanning alerts in issues or PRs.
Investigate OpenClaw pnpm test memory growth, Vitest OOMs, RSS spikes, and heap snapshot deltas.
Run, watch, debug, and summarize OpenClaw full release CI, release checks, live provider gates, install/update proofs, and release-secret preflights.
Prepare or verify OpenClaw stable/beta releases, changelogs, release notes, publish commands, and artifacts.
Auto Review closeout. Codex review is the default when no engine is set and is the recommended reviewer.

gh auth status
gh repo view OWNER/REPO --json nameWithOwner,defaultBranchRef
If gh auth status fails and GH_TOKEN is missing, stop and ask for GitHub auth/config.
Derived:
SOURCE_REPO: issue repo.PUSH_REPO: fork if set, else source.BASE_BRANCH: source default branch unless user says otherwise.PUSH_REMOTE: fork in fork mode, else origin.Stop on dirty worktree unless user confirms that workers should ignore uncommitted changes.
In fork mode, do not mutate remotes before confirmation or during --dry-run.
Verify auth/read access only:
gh auth token >/dev/null || test -n "${GH_TOKEN:-}"
gh repo view "$PUSH_REPO" --json nameWithOwner
git ls-remote --exit-code origin HEAD
Build filters and fetch:
gh issue list --repo "$SOURCE_REPO" --state open --limit 10 --json number,title,labels,url,body,assignees,milestone
Add --label, --milestone, --assignee, --state, --limit as requested. gh issue list already excludes PRs.
If none found: report no matches. If --dry-run: show compact list and stop.
For each candidate:
gh pr list --repo "$SOURCE_REPO" --search "$SOURCE_REPO#<n>" --state open --json number,url,title,headRefName
gh pr list --repo "$SOURCE_REPO" --head "fix/issue-<n>" --state open --json number,url
gh api "repos/$PUSH_REPO/branches/fix/issue-<n>" >/dev/null
Skip candidates with an open PR, existing branch, or active local claim.
Claim file:
${OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.openclaw}/gh-issues-<owner>-<repo>.json
Expire claims older than 2 hours. Create the parent directory before writing.
Unless --yes or --cron, ask user to choose:
allcancelAfter confirmation, in fork mode, configure the push remote before handing work to agents:
gh auth setup-git
git remote get-url fork || git remote add fork "https://github.com/$PUSH_REPO.git"
git remote set-url fork "https://github.com/$PUSH_REPO.git"
git ls-remote --exit-code fork HEAD
Launch up to 8 background workers. Do not block on each worker when --cron.
Before each spawn, write a claim for SOURCE_REPO#<n> with the current ISO timestamp. After a worker reports PR/failure, remove or update the claim. This prevents watch/cron overlap before a branch or PR exists.
Worker prompt must include:
SOURCE_REPO, PUSH_REPO, BASE_BRANCH, PUSH_REMOTE, fork mode.fix/issue-<n>.Worker instructions:
Use gh and git. Do not handwave.
Checkout/create fix/issue-<n> from BASE_BRANCH.
Implement minimal fix.
Run relevant tests.
Commit with conventional message.
Push to PUSH_REMOTE.
Open PR against SOURCE_REPO BASE_BRANCH.
PR body: Summary + Verification + Fixes SOURCE_REPO#<n>.
Report PR URL or failure reason.
Send completion/failure with openclaw message send if route provided.
Use coding-agent launch rules when available.
Poll workers with process or task registry. Report:
Notify channel only with final compact summary.
Discover open PRs:
gh pr list --repo "$SOURCE_REPO" --state open --json number,title,url,headRefName,reviewDecision \
--jq '[.[] | select(.headRefName | startswith("fix/issue-"))]'
Fetch review threads/comments:
gh pr view <n> --repo "$SOURCE_REPO" --json url,headRefName,comments,reviews
gh api "repos/$SOURCE_REPO/pulls/<n>/comments"
gh api "repos/$SOURCE_REPO/issues/<n>/comments"
Only process fix/issue-* PRs created by this workflow unless the user explicitly named PR numbers. Group actionable comments by PR. Ignore praise, status, duplicates, and already-addressed comments. Spawn one worker per selected/scoped PR, same background rules.
Review worker instructions:
Checkout PR branch.
Read all actionable review comments.
Patch minimal changes.
Run relevant tests.
Commit and push normally; do not force-push unless explicitly told.
Reply to addressed comments with fix + commit/file reference.
Report comments addressed/skipped and proof.
Loop:
--interval.Keep cumulative summary small.
