Create Fine-Grained Token for One Repo

1. Go to GitHub Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Fine-grained tokens
   • Direct link: https://github.com/settings/tokens?type=beta
2. Click Generate new token
3. Configure:
   • Token name: Descriptive name (for example, clawrium-myrepo)
   • Expiration: Set as needed
   • Repository access: Select Only select repositories and pick your single repo
4. Set permissions based on what you need:

Use Case	Permission	Level
Read code	Contents	Read
Push code	Contents	Read & Write
Read issues	Issues	Read
Create/comment issues	Issues	Read & Write
Read PRs	Pull requests	Read
Create/review PRs	Pull requests	Read & Write

5. Click Generate token and copy it immediately.

Use with Clawrium

When configuring your agent:

clm agent configure my-agent
# Enter the fine-grained token when prompted for GitHub credentials

The key difference from classic tokens: fine-grained tokens let you scope to specific repos and grant minimal permissions per resource type.

Alternatives (Current Workaround)

Until native integration is available:

1. CLI Tools: Use gh CLI in agent scripts

   clm chat my-agent
   # In chat: Run "gh issue list --repo myorg/myrepo"

2. API via curl: Make direct API calls

   curl -H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
        https://api.github.com/repos/myorg/myrepo/issues

3. MCP Tools: (Coming Q2 2026) Use GitHub MCP server
