GH Monitor

AdvisoryAudited by Static analysis on Apr 30, 2026.

Overview

No suspicious patterns detected.

Findings (0)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

The skill may read issue, PR, and CI information from repositories your GitHub account can access.

Why it was flagged

The skill is designed to use GitHub CLI authentication and repository access. This is expected for GitHub monitoring, but it means the agent may operate with whatever GitHub permissions are available through the user's gh CLI session.

Skill content
Setup: gh auth status; gh repo view owner/repo
Recommendation

Use an appropriately scoped GitHub account or token, specify exact repositories when possible, and avoid monitoring private repos unless intended.

What this means

If configured, the monitor may run daily and continue sending reminders or alerts.

Why it was flagged

The skill documents a recurring scheduled check. This persistence is disclosed and aligned with monitoring, but it can continue generating agent activity and notifications until removed.

Skill content
Daily cron: cron add schedule.cron expr="0 9 * * *" payload.systemEvent "Check GH: new issues/PRs"
Recommendation

Create schedules only when desired, keep the repo and alert scope explicit, and remove the cron entry when monitoring is no longer needed.

What this means

Issue, PR, or CI details could be shared through a message or chat destination.

Why it was flagged

The skill may send repository activity into messages or chat-formatted alerts. That is part of the stated notification purpose, but users should ensure private repo details are not sent to unintended channels.

Skill content
Alert: message urgent PRs/unmerged.

assets/alert-template.md: Slack/Discord format.
Recommendation

Confirm the recipient or channel before sending alerts, and limit alert contents for private or sensitive repositories.

What this means

If you later add or run those referenced helpers, their behavior is not covered by the provided artifacts.

Why it was flagged

SKILL.md references another skill and helper files that are not present in the provided file manifest. There is no instruction to auto-run missing code, so this is a provenance note rather than a concrete unsafe behavior.

Skill content
Read refs/gh-commands.md + gh-issues/SKILL.md.

## Scripts
scripts/check-repo.py: Poll + notify.

assets/alert-template.md: Slack/Discord format.
Recommendation

Review any external gh-issues skill, scripts, or alert templates separately before relying on or executing them.
