gitcrawl

Search locally archived GitHub issues and pull requests, find related discussions and possible duplicates, and check archive freshness. Verify the current GitHub state before making maintenance decisions or changing public content.

OriginalShow the original description

GitHub archive: issue/PR search, sync freshness, duplicate clusters, current GitHub handoff, and Gitcrawl repo work.

Good for

  • Find issues and pull requests related to a reported problem
  • Review groups of possible duplicate issues
  • Check archive freshness before making a maintenance decision
  • Sync details for selected pull requests

Overview

What it does

Searches locally archived GitHub issues and pull requests to find related discussions and possible duplicates. It can inspect groups of similar items, diagnose synchronization status, and retrieve files, commits, checks, and review information for a specified pull request. Results include item numbers, date ranges, freshness, and information gaps to organize the evidence behind a decision.

When it helps

Use it to find previously reported bugs or review similar issues together. It supports narrowing candidates with saved data, then checking the current GitHub state before deciding how to proceed.

Example requests

  • “Find issues and pull requests related to this bug, and report their sync status.”
  • “Inspect the possible duplicate groups and list the information still needed for a decision.”
  • “Sync the details of this pull request and check its current check results.”

Notes

Requires gitcrawl. Current-state checks use gh. Similarity or archived data alone cannot establish that an issue is a duplicate or has been resolved. Organizing local groups does not change GitHub. Changes to public information require a separate, authorized operation.

This overview was written by AI (OpenAI Codex) from the public SKILL.md. Check the original below for the exact behavior.

Objective evaluation

AI rated this skill on four points using only the contents of its SKILL.md. Stars and popularity are not taken into account.

Clear instructionsIs it clear when to use it and what it does?
AGoodIt explicitly separates candidate discovery in local archives from checking current GitHub state before decisions.
Concrete stepsAre steps, inputs, outputs, and examples spelled out?
AGoodIt gives doctor, search, sync, and gh pr view examples and specifies reporting item numbers and freshness.
SafetyAre sending data, deleting files, and running commands disclosed?
AGoodPublic changes require authorization and checkout proof, and direct database changes through SQL are prohibited.
Easy setupDoes it need few tools or API keys, and are they documented?
BPartly lackingIt provides a Go installation specification for gitcrawl but no setup steps for gh or authentication.

The total counts each point as A = 25, B = 15, C = 5. Rated by AI (OpenAI Codex) as of Oct 19, 2026. Treat it as a guide and read the original before installing.

Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

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.
