Claude Code Action responding to a comment

Claude Code Action

A general-purpose Claude Code action for GitHub PRs and issues that can answer questions and implement code changes. This action listens for a trigger phrase in comments and activates Claude act on the request. It supports multiple authentication methods including Anthropic direct API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Vertex AI.

Features

  • 🤖 Interactive Code Assistant: Claude can answer questions about code, architecture, and programming
  • 🔍 Code Review: Analyzes PR changes and suggests improvements
  • Code Implementation: Can implement simple fixes, refactoring, and even new features
  • 💬 PR/Issue Integration: Works seamlessly with GitHub comments and PR reviews
  • 🛠️ Flexible Tool Access: Access to GitHub APIs and file operations (additional tools can be enabled via configuration)
  • 📋 Progress Tracking: Visual progress indicators with checkboxes that dynamically update as Claude completes tasks
  • 🏃 Runs on Your Infrastructure: The action executes entirely on your own GitHub runner (Anthropic API calls go to your chosen provider)

⚠️ BREAKING CHANGES COMING IN v1.0 ⚠️

We're planning a major update that will significantly change how this action works. The new version will:

  • ✨ Automatically select the appropriate mode (no more mode input)
  • 🔧 Simplify configuration with unified prompt and claude_args
  • 🚀 Align more closely with the Claude Code SDK capabilities
  • 💥 Remove multiple inputs like direct_prompt, custom_instructions, and others

→ Read the full v1.0 roadmap and provide feedback


Quickstart

The easiest way to set up this action is through Claude Code in the terminal. Just open claude and run /install-github-app.

This command will guide you through setting up the GitHub app and required secrets.

Note:

  • You must be a repository admin to install the GitHub app and add secrets
  • This quickstart method is only available for direct Anthropic API users. For AWS Bedrock or Google Vertex AI setup, see docs/cloud-providers.md.
