Step 3: Automated PR Reviews

Configure a GitHub webhook to have OpenClaw automatically review new Pull Requests:

openclaw.json
{
  "webhooks": {
    "enabled": true,
    "entries": {
      "github-pr": {
        "provider": "github",
        "message": "Review this pull request: {payload}. Check for code quality, security issues, and suggest improvements."
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 4: Debugging & Refactoring

Ask OpenClaw to analyze and improve existing code:

  • "Refactor this code to follow SOLID principles"
  • "Convert this callback-based code to use Async/Await"
  • "Find the memory leak in this NodeJS script"
Tutorial.step

    "jobs": [
      {
        "name": "PR Check",
        "cron": "0 9 * * *",
        "message": "Check my GitHub repos for new PRs. Summarize any that have been open for more than 2 days."
