github

GitHub as iii functions, powered by the GitHub CLI. Typed github::* functions cover pull requests, issues, repos, Actions runs and workflows, releases, and search; github::exec runs any other gh command and github::api reaches any GitHub REST endpoint. Agents get schema-discoverable GitHub operations with read-vs-mutate permission gating instead of raw shell.

Install

iii worker add github

iii worker add fetches the binary, writes a config block into ~/.iii/config.yaml, and the engine starts the worker on the next iii start.

The worker shells out to the GitHub CLI — install a current gh (the typed field sets are validated against gh 2.94) and give it credentials: either gh auth login on the host, or set GH_TOKEN for the worker (see Configuration).

Quickstart

use iii_sdk::{register_worker, InitOptions, TriggerRequest};
use serde_json::json;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let iii = register_worker("ws://localhost:49134", InitOptions::default());

    // Open PRs in a repo, typed and parsed:
    let prs = iii
        .trigger(TriggerRequest {
            function_id: "github::pr::list".into(),
            payload: json!({ "repo": "cli/cli", "state": "open", "limit": 5 }),
            action: None,
            timeout_ms: Some(60_000),
        })
        .await?;
    println!("{prs:#?}"); // { value: [{ number, title, state, url, … }] }

    // Anything else gh can do, verbatim:
    let version = iii
        .trigger(TriggerRequest {
            function_id: "github::exec".into(),
            payload: json!({ "args": ["--version"] }),
            action: None,
            timeout_ms: Some(60_000),
        })
        .await?;
    println!("{version:#?}"); // { stdout, stderr, exit_code, … }

    Ok(())
}

Configuration

gh_executable: ""            # path to gh; empty = `gh` on PATH
token: "${GH_TOKEN}"         # env-expanded; empty = ambient `gh auth login`
default_timeout_ms: 30000    # per-call timeout when timeout_ms is omitted
max_timeout_ms: 120000       # upper clamp for any per-call timeout_ms
max_output_bytes: 1048576    # per-stream capture cap (flags *_truncated)

Other keys (and their defaults) live in src/config.rs.
