gavrielc c37609ffc8 docs(skills): drop "v2" from skill content + src/index.ts log lines
Cleans up the prose-level v2 references that the rename commit didn't
touch. Skills now describe themselves and the codebase without "v2"
versioning language. /add-X-v2 cross-references in setup, init-first-agent,
and manage-channels updated to /add-X.

Runtime path identifiers (data/v2.db, data/v2-sessions/, container name
nanoclaw-v2) deliberately left as-is — renaming them breaks live installs
without commensurate benefit.

Verified: pnpm run build clean, 326 host tests pass.

Add GitHub Channel

Adds GitHub support via the Chat SDK bridge. The agent participates in PR and issue comment threads.

Install

NanoClaw doesn't ship channels in trunk. This skill copies the GitHub adapter in from the channels branch.

Pre-flight (idempotent)

Skip to Credentials if all of these are already in place:

  • src/channels/github.ts exists
  • src/channels/index.ts contains import './github.js';
  • @chat-adapter/github is listed in package.json dependencies

Otherwise continue. Every step below is safe to re-run.

1. Fetch the channels branch

git fetch origin channels

2. Copy the adapter

git show origin/channels:src/channels/github.ts > src/channels/github.ts

3. Append the self-registration import

Append to src/channels/index.ts (skip if the line is already present):

import './github.js';

4. Install the adapter package (pinned)

pnpm install @chat-adapter/github@4.26.0

5. Build

pnpm run build

Credentials

  1. Go to GitHub Settings > Developer Settings > Personal Access Tokens
  2. Create a Fine-grained token with:
    • Repository access: select the repos you want the bot to monitor
    • Permissions: Pull requests (Read & Write), Issues (Read & Write)
  3. Copy the token
  4. Set up a webhook on your repo(s):
    • Go to Settings > Webhooks > Add webhook
    • Payload URL: https://your-domain/webhook/github
    • Content type: application/json
    • Secret: generate a random string
    • Events: select Issue comments, Pull request review comments

Configure environment

Add to .env:

GITHUB_TOKEN=github_pat_...
GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your-webhook-secret

Sync to container: mkdir -p data/env && cp .env data/env/env

Next Steps

If you're in the middle of /setup, return to the setup flow now.

Otherwise, run /manage-channels to wire this channel to an agent group.

Channel Info

  • type: github
  • terminology: GitHub has "repositories" containing "pull requests" and "issues." Each PR or issue comment thread is a separate conversation.
  • how-to-find-id: The platform ID is owner/repo (e.g. acme/backend). Each PR/issue becomes its own thread automatically.
  • supports-threads: yes (PR and issue comment threads are native conversations)
  • typical-use: Webhook/notification — the agent receives PR and issue events and responds in comment threads
  • default-isolation: Typically shares a session with a chat channel (e.g. Slack) so the agent can summarize PRs and respond to reviews in the same context. Use a separate agent group if the repo contains sensitive code that other channels shouldn't access.
