The Auto-Reviewer is a GitHub Action that leverages AI to streamline the code review process. By integrating OpenAI's GPT model with GitHub's API, this workflow automatically reviews changes in pull requests and provides actionable feedback directly in the GitHub interface. This tool is designed to enhance development efficiency, ensure code quality, and reduce manual review effort.
- Fetches and analyzes all changed files in a pull request.
- Extracts the relevant changes using GitHub's API and
git diff. - Utilizes OpenAI GPT to review code changes, focusing on modified lines for precision.
- Comments directly on pull requests, highlighting areas of improvement and providing a concise evaluation summary.
- The AI reviews the code based on a prompt designed for high-quality suggestions.
- Pinpoints specific line numbers or ranges requiring attention, ensuring feedback is actionable.
- Summarizes the review with a performance score (0–100) to help developers quickly assess the overall quality of their changes.
- Runs on
pull_requestandworkflow_dispatchtriggers. - Automatically fetches file changes, applies the AI review, and posts comments.
- Removes outdated comments from previous runs to maintain a clean discussion thread.
- Tokens (GitHub and OpenAI) are securely managed using GitHub Secrets.
- Workflow and review prompts can be tailored to align with organizational coding standards and priorities.
Developers save time with instant AI feedback, reducing the burden of manual reviews for trivial changes.
Ensures uniformity in code quality across teams and projects by applying a standardized review process.
Handles multiple pull requests simultaneously, ideal for large teams with high development throughput.
Developers receive line-specific recommendations, accelerating learning and improvement.
Automates repetitive tasks, allowing senior developers to focus on high-value activities.
- Large Development Teams: Maintain consistency in reviews across hundreds of contributors.
- Code Quality Audits: Identify areas of improvement systematically before merging.
- Training and Mentorship: Junior developers receive structured feedback, fostering rapid skill enhancement.
- Fast-Paced Projects: Accelerate development cycles by automating the review of small or medium-sized changes.
- GitHub Actions for automation.
- OpenAI GPT for intelligent code review.
- jq for JSON data parsing.
- curl for API calls.
- GitHub API for file and comment management.
All tokens are securely managed through GitHub Secrets. No sensitive data is exposed.
