GitHub CLIAI agent for GitHub CLI

Why teams connect GitHub CLI

Trooper agents connect to GitHub CLI through secure OAuth or API credentials synced to your private OpenClaw server.

Bundled with the OpenClaw execution environment. It is a runtime tool, not a skills.sh skill install.

Every action runs as a traced ticket on the unified board. Combine GitHub CLI with GitHub, Gmail, Slack, and 1,000+ other plugins in multi-agent workflows.

Autonomous execution

Trooper agents call GitHub CLI APIs directly β€” search, read, write, and report back on traced tickets.

Approval gates

Sensitive writes wait for your authorization. Agents propose; you approve; the system executes.

Multi-agent workflows

Combine GitHub CLI with GitHub, Gmail, Slack, and 1,000+ plugins on one OpenClaw-powered board.
