What This Skill Does

The Mantis Manager skill is a robust interface for the Mantis Bug Tracker REST API, enabling OpenClaw agents to perform comprehensive CRUD operations on your issue tracking data. It supports lifecycle management for issues, projects, users, attachments, notes, tags, and complex relationships. Designed with enterprise flexibility in mind, the skill features a sophisticated dynamic context resolution engine. This allows users to switch between development, staging, and production instances seamlessly using a hierarchical precedence system for both Base URLs and API tokens (temporary, session-based, and environment defaults). Whether you need to programmatically sync bug reports, audit project configurations, or manage user access, this skill acts as a secure and reliable bridge between your AI assistant and your Mantis infrastructure.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the following OpenClaw CLI command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/willykinfoussia/mantis-manager

Ensure that you have your MANTIS_BASE_URL and MANTIS_API_TOKEN configured in your environment metadata. The skill will automatically detect these credentials to establish the initial connection.

Use Cases

  • Automated Bug Triage: Automatically tag or reassign issues incoming from QA testers based on severity levels.
  • Multi-Instance Management: Manage client-specific bug trackers by dynamically swapping URLs and tokens per request, ensuring clean separation of data.
  • Configuration Audits: Export and verify project configurations or user permission sets across your Mantis ecosystem.
  • Workflow Automation: Attach documentation or logs to specific issue IDs following a build failure triggered by CI/CD pipelines.

Example Prompts

  1. "Use my staging instance (https://staging.mantis.com/api/rest) to fetch all open issues assigned to me."
  2. "Create a new project named 'Alpha-Dashboard' in the default instance and add a note confirming the project setup."
  3. "Switch to the client-A instance using token XYZ-987 and list all tags associated with issue #402."

Tips & Limitations

  • Context Precedence: Always remember that temporary_* variables override user_* settings, which in turn override MANTIS_ environment variables. Use temporary variables for one-off tasks to avoid accidentally polluting your session state.
  • Security: Ensure that your API tokens have the minimum required scope. While this skill supports full CRUD, avoid using administrator-level tokens for routine queries.
  • Performance: For bulk operations, consider that multiple individual REST calls may be rate-limited by your Mantis server configuration.
