# AI Code Reviewer
AI Code Reviewer is a GitHub Action that leverages OpenAI's GPT-4 API to provide intelligent feedback and suggestions on
your pull requests. This powerful tool helps improve code quality and saves developers time by automating the code
review process.
## Features
- Reviews pull requests using OpenAI's GPT-4 API.
- Provides intelligent comments and suggestions for improving your code.
- Filters out files that match specified exclude patterns.
- Supports custom review rules to tailor the AI's feedback to your project's needs.
- Easy to set up and integrate into your GitHub workflow.
## Setup
1. To use this GitHub Action, you need an OpenAI API key. If you don't have one, sign up for an API key
at [OpenAI](https://beta.openai.com/signup).
2. Add the OpenAI API key as a GitHub Secret in your repository with the name `OPENAI_API_KEY`. You can find more
information about GitHub Secrets [here](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/encrypted-secrets).
3. Create a `.github/workflows/main.yml` file in your repository and add the following content:
```yaml
name: AI Code Reviewer
on:
pull_request:
types:
- opened
- synchronize
permissions: write-all
jobs:
review:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout Repo
uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: AI Code Reviewer
uses: your-username/ai-code-reviewer@main
with:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} # The GITHUB_TOKEN is there by default so you just need to keep it like it is and not necessarily need to add it as secret as it will throw an error. [More Details](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/automatic-token-authentication#about-the-github_token-secret)
OPENAI_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.OPENAI_API_KEY }}
OPENAI_API_MODEL: "gpt-4" # Optional: defaults to "gpt-4"
exclude: "**/*.json, **/*.md" # Optional: exclude patterns separated by commas
custom_rules: "Check for proper error handling, Ensure functions have proper docstrings, Verify variable names follow team conventions" # Optional: custom review rules separated by commas
```
4. Replace `your-username` with your GitHub username or organization name where the AI Code Reviewer repository is
located.
5. Customize the `exclude` input if you want to ignore certain file patterns from being reviewed.
6. Commit the changes to your repository, and AI Code Reviewer will start working on your future pull requests.
## How It Works
The AI Code Reviewer GitHub Action retrieves the pull request diff, filters out excluded files, and sends code chunks to
the OpenAI API. It then generates review comments based on the AI's response and adds them to the pull request.
### Custom Rules
You can provide custom review rules to tailor the AI's feedback to your project's specific needs. These rules are added to the prompt sent to the OpenAI API.
For example, if your team has specific coding conventions or you want to focus on particular aspects of code quality, you can specify them as custom rules:
```yaml
custom_rules: "Check for proper error handling, Make sure unit tests are included, Ensure all functions are properly documented"
```
Each rule should be a clear, concise instruction that guides the AI's review process.

Action.
