ClawHub GitHub Skills Directory: Skills for Repo Management, CI/CD, Trending & More
GitHub is the largest platform category on ClawHub with dedicated skills — covering everything from basic gh CLI wrappers to a 36-skill GitHub Actions observability suite. Here's the complete breakdown.
Note: Install and download figures in text descriptions reflect stats at the time of writing and may be outdated. All skill tables are live — they fetch current data from the ClawHub database on every page load. Treat table values as authoritative.
Data Overview
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Total dedicated skills | 147 |
| Skills with installs (>0) | 76 (52%) |
| Skills with zero installs | 71 (48%) |
| Top skill by downloads | github — dl |
| Top skill by installs | github — installs |
| Second by installs | openclaw-github-assistant — installs |
| Top coverage skill | api-gateway — 42,375 dl |
| Most unique subcategory | GitHub Actions Audit Suite — 36 skills |
1. Core GitHub CLI & API
The foundational category: wrapping the gh CLI or GitHub REST API for general repository operations. github dominates with 538 installs — more than double any other GitHub skill. openclaw-github-assistant (83 installs) is the strongest alternative, offering repo listing, CI status checks, and issue creation on top of the core API.
github-pat and github-token are functionally duplicates (both wrap PAT authentication) with near-identical downloads — likely the same concept from two authors.
2. Trending & Repository Discovery
A surprisingly crowded category. GitHub trending is clearly a popular use case — 14 skills tackle it, with several Chinese-language variants. github-ai-trends (10 installs) focuses specifically on AI-related trending repos, generating formatted leaderboard reports. airadar (6 installs) goes further, tracking AI-native tools with fast growth signals.
The duplication is significant: github-trending-stable and skill-github-trending share nearly identical summaries (both scrape GitHub trending). Six of these skills have zero installs.
3. Repository Analysis & Intelligence
Skills that go deeper than API access — analyzing repo structure, summarizing codebases, and searching across GitHub programmatically. read-github (25 installs) is the standout: it reads repos via gitmcp.io rather than raw scraping, which gives structured, AI-friendly output with proper rate limiting.
github-search (12 installs, Chinese) specializes in deep search with language/stars/date filters for technical research. a6-github-intel converts entire repos into single text files — useful for AI analysis of large codebases.
4. Issues, PRs & Bounties
A productive category with real adoption. github-issue-resolver (15 installs) is the most ambitious — an autonomous agent that resolves issues end-to-end with guardrails. github-issue-creator (2 installs) converts raw notes, error logs, and voice dictation into structured issue reports.
The bounty-hunting sub-niche has three dedicated skills: scan for labeled bounty issues, filter by difficulty, track status. It's a niche but engaged use case.
5. GitHub Actions — Workflow Generation & Debug
Skills for creating and troubleshooting CI/CD workflows. github-actions-generator (16 installs) generates full workflow YAML for CI/CD, tests, and deployment scenarios. gh-action-gen generates from plain English descriptions. The troubleshooting skill focuses specifically on Go projects.
6. GitHub Actions — Audit Suite
One of the most distinctive clusters on ClawHub: 36 single-purpose audit skills from what appears to be a single author, each targeting a specific GitHub Actions reliability or security concern. They follow a consistent pattern — accept a JSON export of Actions run data, compute a specific metric, and output a structured report.
Collectively they form a comprehensive CI/CD observability toolkit. Individually, most have zero installs — suggesting users typically run one or two specific audits rather than the full suite.
7. Workspace Sync & Backup
GitHub-as-storage: using private repos to back up and sync OpenClaw workspace configs, memory files, and agent state across devices. openclaw-checkpoint (9 installs) is the most popular — backs up the full workspace state including agents and memory. cross-device-sync (6 installs) focuses on bidirectional sync with conflict handling.
This category is OpenClaw-specific but practically important: it's how power users achieve persistence across machines.
8. Publishing & Deployment
9. Repository Operations & Management
Day-to-day repo management beyond the basic CLI. github-ops (24 installs, Chinese) automates repo creation, code push, and release management with zero user intervention. github-contribution (8 installs) guides the full open-source contribution workflow — fork → sync → dev → PR — in Chinese.
10. Utilities & Specialized Tools

Closing Observations
147 skills, but the top 5 do most of the work. github (538 installs), openclaw-github-assistant (83), web-deploy-github (26), github-ops (24), github-cli (36) account for the bulk of real usage. The long tail is very long.
The 36-skill GitHub Actions audit suite is a remarkable niche bet. One author built a comprehensive CI/CD observability toolkit — 36 single-purpose audit skills covering everything from secret exposure to rerun waste to queue latency. Most have zero installs today. If you run GitHub Actions at scale and care about reliability engineering, this suite is worth exploring systematically.
GitHub-as-storage is a real pattern. 11 skills use GitHub private repos as the persistence layer for AI agent memory and workspace configs. This is a practical, free, and git-auditable solution to a real problem — more skills in this category makes sense.
Chinese developer adoption is high. ~20 of 147 skills are Chinese-language or China-specific workflows (trending monitors, Notion/DingTalk integrations, contribution guides). GitHub usage skews heavily developer, and Chinese developer communities are clearly active on ClawHub.
The bounty-hunting niche has three dedicated skills and real installs. This signals a meaningful user segment: developers who want to earn from open source contributions. An underserved market with clear monetization intent.
