# GitHub Digest
Generate structured, link-rich GitHub repo digests with a briefing overview and categorized details.
Prerequisites
- `gh` CLI authenticated (`gh auth status`)
Workflow
1. Gather Data
Run these `gh` commands in parallel for the target repo (default: `openclaw/openclaw`):
```bash # Recent releases (last 5) gh release list --repo OWNER/REPO --limit 5
# Latest release notes gh release view TAG --repo OWNER/REPO --json body --jq '.body'
# Recently merged PRs (last 30) gh pr list --repo OWNER/REPO --state merged --limit 30 \ --json number,title,author,mergedAt,labels \ --jq '.[] | "[\(.mergedAt[:10])] #\(.number) \(.title) by @\(.author.login) [\([.labels[].name] | join(","))]"'
# Hot open issues (sorted by comments) gh issue list --repo OWNER/REPO --state open --limit 30 \ --json number,title,comments,labels \ | jq -r '[.[] | {n:.number,t:.title,c:.comments,l:[.labels[].name]}] | sort_by(.c) | reverse | .[0:15] | .[] | "[\(.c)] #\(.n) \(.t) [\(.l | join(","))]"' ```
Adjust `--limit` and time range based on user's request (today / this week / this month).
2. Output Format
Structure the digest in this exact order:
#### 📋 Briefing(总览)
- A 3-5 sentence executive summary covering:
- What version was released and when
- Core themes (2-3 keywords, e.g. "安全加固、Plugin SDK 开放、工具能力扩展")
- Most impactful change in one line
- Community pulse (what people are discussing)
- Any breaking changes warning
#### ⚠️ Breaking Changes
- List each breaking change with:
- What changed
- Migration action required
- Link to docs if available
Skip this section if none.
#### 🏗️ 重大更新 (Major Features)
- Significant new capabilities, architectural changes, new integrations. Each item:
- Bold title:one-line description (#PR)
#### ✨ 小功能 / 改进 (Minor Features)
- Group by sub-category when there are many (e.g. "Telegram", "CLI", "Plugin SDK"). Each item:
- One-line description (#PR)
#### 🔧 Bug 修复 (Bug Fixes)
Group by area (e.g. "Channel 修复", "核心/安全", "工具/浏览器"). For channel fixes with 5+ items, use a table:
| Channel | 修复内容 | PR | |---------|---------|-----| | Name | Description | #N |
For other fixes, use bullet lists grouped by area.
#### 💬 社区热议 (Community Discussions)
- Hot issues sorted by engagement. Each item:
- #N — Title:one-line summary of the discussion
3. Formatting Rules
- Every PR/issue/release MUST have a clickable markdown link
- - PR: `#123`
- - Issue: `#123`
- - Release: `vTAG`
- Use the user's language (detect from their message; default Chinese for Chinese users)
- Bold key terms for scannability
- Omit empty sections silently
- When release notes mention a PR number like `(#12345)`, always convert to a clickable link
- For "Thanks @user" in release notes, link to `https://github.com/user`
