Goal: Maintain your OSS project without burning out

What you'll have: Triage GitHub issues and PRs from the terminal, post release announcements to X, keep your community synced via Slack, and summarize incoming issues and discussions so you always know what the community needs.

Step 1: Install

clawhub install openclaw/github openclaw/xurl openclaw/slack openclaw/summarize

Step 2: Configure

Each skill may need credentials or auth before it can act on your behalf.

openclaw/github

Triage issues, review community PRs, check CI on contributor branches, and create release issues — the core of OSS maintenance.

  • Authenticate with the GitHub CLI: run gh auth login and follow the prompts
  • Choose HTTPS or SSH, then log in via browser — no extra tokens needed
  • The skill uses gh under the hood, so all your existing GitHub access applies

openclaw/xurl

Announce releases, engage with users who mention your project, and share what the community is building — social visibility for OSS.

  • Apply for an X Developer account at https://developer.twitter.com (free tier is sufficient)
  • Create a project and app, then generate API Key, API Secret, Access Token, and Access Token Secret with Read+Write permissions
  • Set four environment variables: X_API_KEY, X_API_SECRET, X_ACCESS_TOKEN, X_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET

openclaw/slack

Keep your contributor community engaged in Slack — share roadmap updates, answer questions, and announce breaking changes before they hit.

  • Create a Slack app at https://api.slack.com/apps → "Create New App" → "From scratch"
  • Under "OAuth & Permissions", add bot scopes: channels:read, chat:write, im:write, users:read, channels:history
  • Click "Install to Workspace" and copy the Bot User OAuth Token
  • Set environment variable: SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-your-token
  • Invite the bot to the channels it needs to post in: /invite @your-app-name

openclaw/summarize

Summarize long issue threads, PRs with 50+ comments, and community discussions so you can respond with context — not noise.

  • No external accounts or API keys needed
  • Works immediately after install — paste any URL, file path, or YouTube link
