Github Toolkit

---

Swarmauri Toolkit · GitHub

A Swarmauri toolkit that wraps PyGithub behind Swarmauri’s agent/tool abstractions. Authenticate once and gain access to repository, issue, pull request, branch, and commit helpers—ready for scripted automation or conversational agents.

• Creates a shared GitHub client so every tool call reuses the same token and rate-limit state.
• Normalizes responses into dictionaries so downstream logic can inspect status messages or raw PyGithub payloads.
• Covers common actions (create/list/update/delete) while staying extensible via the action parameter on each tool.

Requirements

• Python 3.10 – 3.13.
• GitHub personal access token (classic or fine-grained) with the scopes your workflow requires. Store it in an environment variable such as GITHUB_TOKEN.
• Runtime dependencies (PyGithub, python-dotenv, and the Swarmauri base/standard packages) install automatically with the toolkit.

Installation

Choose any of the supported packaging flows; each command resolves transitive dependencies.

pip

pip install swarmauri_toolkit_github

Poetry

poetry add swarmauri_toolkit_github

uv

# Add to the current project and update uv.lock
uv add swarmauri_toolkit_github

# or install into the active environment without editing pyproject.toml
uv pip install swarmauri_toolkit_github

Tip: python-dotenv is imported automatically—drop your token into a local .env file (GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_...) for quick experimentation.

Quick Start

import os
from swarmauri_toolkit_github import GithubToolkit

toolkit = GithubToolkit(api_token=os.environ["GITHUB_TOKEN"])

# List repositories for the authenticated user
repos = toolkit.github_repo_tool(action="list_repos")
print(repos["list_repos"])

# Open a tracking issue
issue = toolkit.github_issue_tool(
    action="create_issue",
    repo_name="owner/example",
    title="Investigate flaky tests",
    body="Logs: https://gist.github.com/..."
)
print(issue["create_issue"])

Each sub-tool accepts an action argument (see PyGithub docs for additional options) and returns a dictionary keyed by that action for ergonomic unpacking.

Usage Scenarios

Automate Release Housekeeping

from swarmauri_toolkit_github import GithubToolkit

toolkit = GithubToolkit(api_token=os.environ["GITHUB_TOKEN"])

# Create a release branch
toolkit.github_branch_tool(
    action="create_branch",
    repo_name="owner/service",
    new_branch="release/v1.4.0",
    source_branch="master"
)

# Cut a changelog commit
toolkit.github_commit_tool(
    action="create_file",
    repo_name="owner/service",
    path="CHANGELOG.md",
    message="Add release notes",
    content="### v1.4.0\n- New features...",
    branch="release/v1.4.0"
)

Drive GitHub From a Swarmauri Agent

from swarmauri_core.agent.Agent import Agent
from swarmauri_core.messages.HumanMessage import HumanMessage
from swarmauri_standard.tools.registry import ToolRegistry
from swarmauri_toolkit_github import GithubToolkit

toolkit = GithubToolkit(api_token=os.environ["GITHUB_TOKEN"])
registry = ToolRegistry()
registry.register(toolkit.github_issue_tool)
registry.register(toolkit.github_pr_tool)

agent = Agent(tool_registry=registry)
response = agent.run(HumanMessage(content="Open a PR from feature/auth to master"))
print(response)

Enable conversational workflows that translate natural-language requests into GitHub mutations.

Triage Issues Nightly

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from swarmauri_toolkit_github import GithubToolkit

toolkit = GithubToolkit(api_token=os.environ["GITHUB_TOKEN"])
cutoff = datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(days=7)

issues = toolkit.github_issue_tool(
    action="list",
    repo_name="owner/product",
    state="open"
)["list"]

stale = [issue for issue in issues if issue.updated_at < cutoff]
for issue in stale:
    toolkit.github_issue_tool(
        action="create_comment",
        repo_name="owner/product",
        number=issue.number,
        body="Ping! Any update in the last week?"
    )

Keep a backlog tidy by automatically nudging stale tickets.

Troubleshooting

• ValueError: Invalid Token or Missing api_token – Pass the token explicitly (GithubToolkit(api_token=...)) or export GITHUB_TOKEN before instantiating the toolkit.
• PyGithub exception messages – Most actions bubble up PyGithub errors verbatim (permission issues, missing branches, etc.). Inspect the text in the returned string to resolve scope or naming problems.
• GitHub rate limits – PyGithub tracks remaining requests; consider batching actions or sleeping when Github.get_rate_limit() indicates low headroom.
