GitHub

27 tools covering repos, issues, the complete PR lifecycle, and GitHub Actions/CI. Implemented in tools/githubOps.js.

Setup

1. Go to github.com/settings/tokens
2. Generate a token (classic or fine-grained) with repo scope — add workflow scope too if you want github_rerun_workflow to work
3. Add it to .env as GITHUB_TOKEN

Example

"Find the latest failing CI run on the main branch and show me why it failed."

Claude calls github_list_workflow_runs (filtered to main, failed status) → github_get_workflow_run_jobs → github_get_job_logs for the failing job — the exact sequence fix_ci automates for you.
