OpenClaw + GitHub Integration Guide — Connect Your AI Agent

Learn how to integrate OpenClaw with GitHub for code review and issue management. Step-by-step setup guide with examples.

Why Connect OpenClaw with GitHub?

GitHub is one of the most popular tools for code review and issue management. By integrating OpenClaw with GitHub, your AI agent can automatically interact with your GitHub workspace — reading data, sending messages, and triggering actions without manual intervention.

What You Can Build

Setup Guide

Prerequisites

Step 1: Configure OpenClaw Channel

OpenClaw supports GitHub as a native channel. Add the GitHub configuration to your OpenClaw config file:

channels:
  github:
    enabled: true
    # Add your GitHub credentials here

Step 2: Set Up Your Agent's Personality

Create a SOUL.md file that defines how your agent behaves in GitHub. The personality should match the context — professional for work tools, friendly for community platforms.

💡 Need templates? The SOUL.md Mega Pack includes 100 personality templates for every use case. Find the perfect starting point for your GitHub integration.

Step 3: Test the Integration

Send a test message in GitHub and verify your OpenClaw agent responds correctly. Check the OpenClaw logs for any connection issues.

  1. Help desk — Answer team questions automatically in GitHub
  2. Daily summaries — AI-generated reports posted to GitHub every morning
  3. Onboarding — Guide new users through setup via GitHub messages
