Claude Code Action Can Automatically Review GitHub Pull Requests
The anthropics/claude-code-action GitHub Action lets Claude review pull requests and answer @claude mentions in issues without a dedicated server, running on the user's own GitHub runner. It selects its behavior from the workflow context, handling code questions, PR reviews, and simple fixes, and sends API calls to a chosen provider such as Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, or Microsoft Foundry. Setup is done by running claude /install-github-app from a repo terminal, which requires repository admin rights and is documented for direct Anthropic API users, with other providers covered in the repo's cloud-providers guide. The project's Solutions Guide lists review patterns such as automatic PR review, path-specific checks, and OWASP-aligned security reviews, and the article recommends starting small and limiting tool access. The author stresses that the AI review should be treated as a first pass rather than a replacement for human approval, and notes they did not run the action on a live repository.
