Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/digisal/youtrack-digisalWhat This Skill Does
The YouTrack skill is a comprehensive integration for the JetBrains YouTrack project management platform. It serves as a bridge between the OpenClaw agent and your YouTrack instance, enabling automated project tracking, issue management, and financial reporting. By leveraging the YouTrack REST API, the skill allows you to query project data, manage individual issues, extract time-tracking logs, and interact with your knowledge base articles. Beyond simple CRUD operations, the skill includes a specialized invoice generator that converts granular time-tracking data into professional billing reports, making it an essential tool for agencies and freelancers managing project budgets and client invoicing directly through their AI agent.
Installation
To install this skill, run the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/digisal/youtrack-digisal
After installation, you must configure your environment to allow secure communication with your YouTrack instance. Generate a permanent API token via the YouTrack Administration > Access Management > Users portal. Once obtained, export it as an environment variable: export YOUTRACK_TOKEN=your-token-here. Ensure your instance URL is ready, as it is required for every command execution.
Use Cases
This skill is designed for project managers, developers, and consultants who need to automate administrative overhead. Use it to:
- Automate daily stand-ups by summarizing active issues.
- Generate monthly client invoices automatically by pulling tracked time logs from project issues.
- Create knowledge base documentation from technical notes or project outcomes.
- Sync project statuses and track progress across multiple team projects without leaving the CLI.
Example Prompts
- "@youtrack list all active issues in the 'Website Redesign' project and summarize them for me."
- "@youtrack generate an invoice for the 'Client Alpha' project covering the period from January 1st to January 31st, 2026."
- "@youtrack create a new article in the 'Internal Docs' project titled 'Deployment Procedure' with the following content: [Paste details]."
Tips & Limitations
For accurate billing, always verify your hourly rate before running the invoice_generator.py script; the default is $100/hr. Ensure your YouTrack API token has sufficient permissions to access the specific projects and work items you intend to manage. The skill requires network access to communicate with the YouTrack API, so ensure your firewall allows traffic to your instance URL. Keep sensitive tokens secure using local environment variables rather than hardcoding them in scripts.
