What it does

GitHub Ops is an agent skill from automateyournetwork/netclaw. GitHub repository operations — issues, PRs, code search, and config-as-code workflows. Use when creating a GitHub issue for a network finding, opening a pull request for a config change, searching repos for IP or VLAN references, or committing an audit report to a repository.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests and Codebase onboarding. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: An AI agent that claws through your network. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating a GitHub issue for a network finding
  • Opening a pull request for a config change
  • Searching repos for IP
  • VLAN references

Example prompts

  • “/github-ops”

Requirements

  • A credential in GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Create a GitHub issue with the finding details
  2. Include device name, symptom, recommended fix
  3. Label appropriately (bug, security, performance)
  4. Reference the GAIT session ID for audit trail

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 95bb17e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

GitHub Ops loads about 690 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 338 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~690

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Workflow Patterns

Network Finding → GitHub Issue

When you discover a network problem (via pyATS, health check, etc.):

  1. Create a GitHub issue with the finding details
  2. Include device name, symptom, recommended fix
  3. Label appropriately (bug, security, performance)
  4. Reference the GAIT session ID for audit trail
Config Change → Pull Request

When a config change is approved:

  1. Create a branch from main
  2. Commit the new/updated config file
  3. Open a PR with change details and ServiceNow CR number
  4. Link the PR in the GAIT audit trail
Audit Report → Repository

After health checks or audits:

  1. Commit the report as a markdown file
  2. Organize by date: reports/YYYY-MM-DD/
  3. Include raw data and AI analysis

Environment Variables

  • GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN — GitHub PAT with repo access

Important Rules

  • Never commit secrets, passwords, or API keys to repositories
  • Always create a branch for changes — never push directly to main
  • Include meaningful commit messages describing the network change
  • Reference ServiceNow CR numbers in PR descriptions when applicable

Failure Behavior

  • On a tool error (timeout, unreachable host, malformed response), report the failure and its error message directly to the user rather than fabricating or guessing at results.
  • For a confirmed read-only call, check connectivity and retry once if appropriate. For any call that changes state or sends a message, a timeout does not prove the action failed: inspect current state or delivery status before retrying, preserve the required approval/change gates, and do not repeat an action whose outcome is unknown.
