Install the gitcrawl skill

A skill is a folder. Copy it into your agent's skills folder and the agent loads it when the task matches its description. 

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git /tmp/openclaw
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/openclaw/.agents/skills/gitcrawl ~/.claude/skills/gitcrawl
available in every project

In the Claude apps, zip the folder and upload it from the Skills settings. The folder on GitHub

Gitcrawl

Use local GitHub archives for discovery; verify current GitHub state before a maintainer decision or public mutation. Check freshness and configured database paths with gitcrawl doctor --json.

gitcrawl threads owner/repo --numbers <number> --include-closed --json
gitcrawl neighbors owner/repo --number <number> --limit 12 --json
gitcrawl search issues "query" -R owner/repo --state open --json number,title,url
gitcrawl clusters owner/repo --sort size --min-size 5
gitcrawl cluster-detail owner/repo --id <cluster-id>

For stale results, use a bounded --sync-if-stale 5m search or targeted gitcrawl sync owner/repo --numbers 123,456 --with pr-details. The latter hydrates local PR files, commits, checks, workflow runs, and review-thread resolution; it does not populate the separate GitHub CLI cache.

Current GitHub State

Use bare PATH gh and narrow native JSON fields:

gh pr view <number> -R owner/repo --json number,title,state,url,isDraft,headRefName,headRefOid
gh pr checks <number> -R owner/repo --json name,state,bucket,link
gh issue view <number> -R owner/repo --json number,title,state,closedAt,url

gitcrawl gh was removed. Its exit 2 is a migration notice, not an auth failure. Do not pass its --live/--cached flags or old field names to gh, restore an old Gitcrawl, bypass the existing Octopool shim, or change auth/PATH/config to repair that removed command. Octopool owns the shared gh cache; Gitcrawl owns the local archive. See the upstream migration guide when setting up or diagnosing that handoff.

Archive Boundaries

Archive state and similarity are candidate evidence, not proof of a duplicate or resolved issue. Report repository, issue/PR numbers, absolute date spans, cluster IDs, freshness, and known gaps. close-thread, close-cluster, and canonical-member choices are local overrides; they do not mutate GitHub. Public mutations use authorized gh workflows and checkout proof.

For exact archive counts, Gitcrawl has no sql subcommand. Resolve .db_path from doctor --json and use sqlite3 -readonly; do not modify database rows instead of using the maintainer commands. For Gitcrawl implementation work, verify the checkout remote is openclaw/gitcrawl and use its own instructions.
