GitHub Issue Resolver

Autonomous agent for discovering, analyzing, and fixing open GitHub issues — with a 5-layer guardrail system.

⚠️ GUARDRAILS — Read First

Every action goes through guardrails. Before any operation:

1. Load guardrails.json config
2. Validate scope (repo, branch, path)
3. Check action gate (auto/notify/approve)
4. Validate command against allowlist
5. Log to audit trail

For guardrail details, see references/guardrails-guide.md.

Key Rules (Non-Negotiable)

• Never touch protected branches (main, master, production)
• Never modify .env, secrets, CI configs, credentials
• Never force push
• Never modify dependency files without explicit approval
• Never modify own skill/plugin files
• One issue at a time — finish or abandon before starting new
• All dangerous actions require user approval (write code, commit, push, PR)
• Everything is logged to audit/ directory

Workflow

Phase 1 — Issue Discovery

Trigger: User provides a GitHub repository (owner/repo).

Steps:

1. Validate repo against guardrails:

   python3 scripts/guardrails.py repo <owner> <repo>

If blocked, tell the user and stop.

1. Fetch, score, and present issues using the recommendation engine:

   python3 scripts/recommend.py <owner> <repo>

This automatically fetches open issues, filters out PRs, scores them by severity/impact/effort/freshness, and presents a formatted recommendation.

Always use recommend.py — never manually format issue output. The script ensures consistent presentation every time.

For raw JSON (e.g., for further processing):

   python3 scripts/recommend.py <owner> <repo> --json

⏹️ STOP. Wait for user to select an issue.

Phase 2 — Fixing

Trigger: User selects an issue.

Steps:

1. Lock the issue (one-at-a-time enforcement):

   python3 scripts/guardrails.py issue_lock <owner> <repo> <issue_number>

1. Read full issue thread including comments.

1. Clone the repo (Gate: notify):

   python3 scripts/sandbox.py run git clone https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git /tmp/openclaw-work/<repo>

1. Create a safe branch (Gate: auto):

   python3 scripts/sandbox.py run git checkout -b fix-issue-<number>

1. Explore codebase — read relevant files. For each file:

   python3 scripts/guardrails.py path <file_path>

1. Plan the fix — explain approach to user:

   ## Proposed Fix
   - Problem: [root cause]
   - Solution: [what changes]
   - Files: [list of files and what changes in each]
   - Estimated diff size: [lines]

⏹️ STOP. Wait for user to approve the plan before implementing.

1. Implement the fix (Gate: approve):

- Apply changes - Check diff size: python3 scripts/guardrails.py diff <line_count> - Log: python3 scripts/audit.py log_action write_code success

Phase 3 — Testing

After implementing:

1. Find and run tests (Gate: notify):

   python3 scripts/sandbox.py run npm test   # or pytest, cargo test, etc.

1. If tests fail AND autoRollbackOnTestFail is true:

- Revert all changes - Notify user - Suggest alternative approach

1. If no tests exist, write basic tests covering the fix.

1. Report results to user.

Phase 4 — Draft PR for Review (Approval REQUIRED)

⚠️ NEVER create PR automatically. Always ask first.

Do NOT dump full diffs in chat. For any non-trivial project, push the branch and let the user review on GitHub where they get syntax highlighting, file-by-file navigation, and inline comments.

1. Commit changes (Gate: approve):

   python3 scripts/sandbox.py run git add .
   python3 scripts/sandbox.py run git commit -m "Fix #<number>: <title>"

1. Show a change summary (NOT the raw diff) — keep it concise:

   ## Changes
   - **src/models.py** — Added field validation (title length, enum checks)
   - **app.py** — Added validation to POST endpoint, 400 error responses
   - **tests/test_app.py** — 22 new tests covering validation rules
   - 4 files changed, ~100 lines of source + ~150 lines of tests
   - All tests passing ✅

1. Ask explicitly: "Ready to push and create a draft PR?"

1. Only after user says "yes" (Gate: approve):

   python3 scripts/sandbox.py run git push -u origin fix-issue-<number>
   python3 scripts/sandbox.py run gh pr create --draft --title "..." --body "..."

Note: PRs are always created as draft by default. The PR body should include a detailed description of all changes, test results, and link to the issue (Closes #N).

1. Share the PR link — user reviews on GitHub.

1. Unlock the issue:

   python3 scripts/guardrails.py issue_unlock
