# god-mode Skill
> Developer oversight and AI agent coaching for OpenClaw.
## Overview
**god-mode** gives you a bird's-eye view of all your coding projects and coaches you to write better AI agent instructions.
**Key features:**
- Multi-project status dashboard
- Incremental sync from GitHub (Azure/GitLab coming)
- Agent instruction analysis based on commit patterns
- Local SQLite cache for fast queries
## Quick Start
```bash
# First-run setup
god setup
# Add a project
god projects add github:myuser/myrepo
# Sync data
god sync
# See overview
god status
# Analyze your agents.md
god agents analyze myrepo
```
## Commands
### `god status [project]`
Show overview of all projects, or details for one:
```bash
god status # All projects
god status myproject # One project in detail
```
### `god sync [project] [--force]`
Fetch/update data from repositories:
```bash
god sync # Incremental sync all
god sync myproject # Just one project
god sync --force # Full refresh (ignore cache)
```
### `god projects`
Manage configured projects:
```bash
god projects # List all
god projects add github:user/repo # Add project
god projects remove myproject # Remove project
```
### `god agents analyze <project>`
Analyze agents.md against commit history:
```bash
god agents analyze myproject
```
Finds gaps between your agent instructions and actual work patterns, suggests improvements.
### `god agents generate <project>` (Coming Soon)
Bootstrap agents.md for a new project by analyzing repo structure.
## Configuration
Config file: `~/.config/god-mode/config.yaml`
```yaml
projects:
- id: github:user/repo
name: My Project # Display name
priority: high # high/medium/low
tags: [work, api]
local: ~/code/myrepo # Local clone path
sync:
initialDays: 90 # First sync lookback
commitsCacheMinutes: 60
analysis:
agentFiles: # Files to search for
- agents.md
- AGENTS.md
- CLAUDE.md
- .github/copilot-instructions.md
```
## Data Storage
All data stored locally in `~/.god-mode/`:
- `cache.db` - SQLite database (commits, PRs, issues, analyses)
- `contexts/` - Saved workspace contexts (v0.2)
## Authentication
god-mode uses your existing CLI authentication:
| Provider | CLI | Setup |
|----------|-----|-------|
| GitHub | `gh` | `gh auth login` |
| Azure | `az` | `az login` |
| GitLab | `glab` | `glab auth login` |
**No tokens stored by god-mode.** We delegate to CLIs you already trust.
## Requirements
- `gh` - GitHub CLI (for GitHub repos)
- `sqlite3` - Database
- `jq` - JSON processing
## Examples
### Morning Check-In
```bash
god status
# See all projects at a glance
# Notice any stale PRs or quiet projects
```
### Before Switching Projects
```bash
god status myproject
# See recent activity, open PRs, issues
# Remember where you left off
```
### Improving Your AI Assistant
```bash
god agents analyze myproject
# Get suggestions based on your actual commit patterns
# Apply recommendations to your agents.md
```
### Weekly Review
```bash
god status
# Review activity across all projects
# Identify projects needing attention
```
## Agent Workflows
### Daily Briefing (Heartbeat)
```markdown
# HEARTBEAT.md
- Run `god status` and summarize:
- Projects with stale PRs (>3 days)
- Projects with no activity (>5 days)
- Open PRs needing review
```
### Agent Analysis (Cron)
```yaml
# Weekly agent instruction review
schedule: "0 9 * * 1" # Monday 9am
task: |
Run `god agents analyze` on high-priority projects.
If gaps found, notify with suggestions.
```
## Troubleshooting
### "gh: command not found"
Install GitHub CLI: https://cli.github.com/
### "Not logged in to GitHub"
Run: `gh auth login`
### "No projects configured"
Add a project: `god projects add github:user/repo`
### Stale data
Force refresh: `god sync --force`
