\
‣ **Auto Review ([`/review`](./docs/REVIEW.md))**: Adjustable feedback about the PR main theme, type, relevant tests, security issues, score, and various suggestions for the PR content.
\
‣ **Question Answering ([`/ask ...`](./docs/ASK.md))**: Answering free-text questions about the PR.
\
‣ **Code Suggestions ([`/improve`](./docs/IMPROVE.md))**: Committable code suggestions for improving the PR.
\
‣ **Update Changelog ([`/update_changelog`](./docs/UPDATE_CHANGELOG.md))**: Automatically updating the CHANGELOG.md file with the PR changes.
\
‣ **Find Similar Issue ([`/similar_issue`](./docs/SIMILAR_ISSUE.md))**: Automatically retrieves and presents similar issues.
\
‣ **Add Documentation 💎 ([`/add_docs`](./docs/ADD_DOCUMENTATION.md))**: Automatically adds documentation to methods/functions/classes that changed in the PR.
\
‣ **Generate Custom Labels 💎 ([`/generate_labels`](./docs/GENERATE_CUSTOM_LABELS.md))**: Automatically suggests custom labels based on the PR code changes.
\
‣ **Analyze 💎 ([`/analyze`](./docs/Analyze.md))**: Automatically analyzes the PR, and presents changes walkthrough for each component.

## Try it now
Try the GPT-4 powered PR-Agent instantly on _your public GitHub repository_. Just mention `@CodiumAI-Agent` and add the desired command in any PR comment. The agent will generate a response based on your command.
For example, add a comment to any pull request with the following text:
```
@CodiumAI-Agent /review
```
and the agent will respond with a review of your PR

To set up your own PR-Agent, see the [Installation](#installation) section below.
Note that when you set your own PR-Agent or use CodiumAI hosted PR-Agent, there is no need to mention `@CodiumAI-Agent ...`. Instead, directly start with the command, e.g., `/ask ...`.

## Installation
To use your own version of PR-Agent, you first need to acquire two tokens:
1. An OpenAI key from [here](https://platform.openai.com/), with access to GPT-4.
2. A GitHub personal access token (classic) with the repo scope.

- [Method 3: Run as a GitHub Action](INSTALL.md#method-3-run-as-a-github-action)
- [Method 4: Run as a polling server](INSTALL.md#method-4-run-as-a-polling-server)
- Request reviews by tagging your GitHub user on a PR
- [Method 5: Run as a GitHub App](INSTALL.md#method-5-run-as-a-github-app)
- Allowing you to automate the review process on your private or public repositories
- [Method 6: Deploy as a Lambda Function](INSTALL.md#method-6---deploy-as-a-lambda-function)
- [Method 7: AWS CodeCommit](INSTALL.md#method-7---aws-codecommit-setup)

## How it works
The following diagram illustrates PR-Agent tools and their flow:

Check out the [PR Compression strategy](./PR_COMPRESSION.md) page for more details on how we convert a code diff to a manageable LLM prompt
## Why use PR-Agent?
A reasonable question that can be asked is: `"Why use PR-Agent? What makes it stand out from existing tools?"`
Here are some advantages of PR-Agent:
- We emphasize **real-life practical usage**. Each tool (review, improve, ask, ...) has a single GPT-4 call, no more. We feel that this is critical for realistic team usage - obtaining an answer quickly (~30 seconds) and affordably.
- Our [PR Compression strategy](./PR_COMPRESSION.md) is a core ability that enables to effectively tackle both short and long PRs.
- Our JSON prompting strategy enables to have **modular, customizable tools**. For example, the '/review' tool categories can be controlled via the [configuration](pr_agent/settings/configuration.toml) file. Adding additional categories is easy and accessible.
- We support **multiple git providers** (GitHub, Gitlab, Bitbucket), **multiple ways** to use the tool (CLI, GitHub Action, GitHub App, Docker, ...), and **multiple models** (GPT-4, GPT-3.5, Anthropic, Cohere, Llama2).
## Data privacy
If you host PR-Agent with your OpenAI API key, it is between you and OpenAI. You can read their API data privacy policy here:
https://openai.com/enterprise-privacy
When using PR-Agent Pro 💎, hosted by CodiumAI, we will not store any of your data, nor will we use it for training.
You will also benefit from an OpenAI account with zero data retention.
