🚀 PR Agent: The Original Open-Source PR Reviewer. This project is not the Qodo free tier.

---

---

This repository contains the open-source PR Agent Project. It is not the Qodo offering for open-source projects.

PR-Agent is an open-source, AI-powered code review agent and a community-maintained legacy project of Qodo. It is distinct from Qodo's primary AI code review offering, which provides a feature-rich, context-aware experience. Qodo offers a free version for open-source projects and integrates seamlessly with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps for high-quality automated reviews.

PR-Agent is a community-maintained open-source project, with its ongoing development supported by our sponsors. If you'd like to support the project, consider becoming a sponsor.

[!NOTE] Docker Hub namespace migration. Releases 0.34.2 and later are published under pragent/pr-agent. Older releases (up to and including v0.31) remain available at the legacy codiumai/pr-agent namespace as a frozen archive — no new images are pushed there. Update any pinned image: / docker pull / uses: docker:// references when upgrading to 0.34.2+.

1. GitHub Action (Recommended)

Add automated PR reviews to your repository with a simple workflow file:

# .github/workflows/pr-agent.yml
name: PR Agent
on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize]
jobs:
  pr_agent_job:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: PR Agent action step
      uses: the-pr-agent/pr-agent@main
      env:
        OPENAI_KEY: ${{ secrets.OPENAI_KEY }}
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Full GitHub Action setup guide

2. CLI Usage (Local Development)

Run PR-Agent locally on your repository:

pip install "pr-agent[github]"
export OPENAI_KEY=your_key_here
pr-agent --pr_url https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123 review

Git provider SDKs are optional extras: install the one for your provider (list), or pr-agent[all] for every integration. Complete CLI setup guide

3. Other Platforms

• GitLab webhook setup
• BitBucket app installation
• Azure DevOps setup

Full notes for every release are on the Releases page.

Fast & Affordable: Each tool (/review, /improve, /ask) uses a single LLM call (~30 seconds, low cost)

Handles Any PR Size: Our PR Compression strategy effectively processes both small and large PRs

Highly Customizable: JSON-based prompting allows easy customization of review categories and behavior via configuration files

Platform Agnostic:

• Git Providers: GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, Azure DevOps, Gitea
• Deployment: CLI, GitHub Actions, Docker, self-hosted, webhooks
• AI Models: OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, and any other model reachable through LiteLLM (Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI, Databricks, OpenRouter, Ollama, and more) — see Changing a model

Open Source Benefits:

• Full control over your data and infrastructure
• Customize prompts and behavior for your team's needs
• No vendor lock-in
• Community-driven development

/review

---

/improve

---

PR-Agent tools run as a comment on a PR or from the CLI. A few common ones:

# Comment on a PR (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket/…):
/describe
/review
/improve
/ask "What does this PR change?" # free-text Q&A about the PR

# Issue-scoped commands run on an issue instead of a PR:
/similar_issue # find similar issues in the repository

# Or locally via the CLI:
pr-agent --pr_url <PR_URL> review
pr-agent --issue_url <ISSUE_URL> similar_issue

See the Tools docs for the full list of tools with example commands, and each tool's page for screenshots and options.

To contribute to the project, get started by reading our Contributing Guide.

For local verification, run PYTHONPATH=. uv run pytest from the repository root; it discovers the unit-test suite under tests/unittest by default. End-to-end tests under tests/e2e_tests require provider credentials and should be invoked explicitly, for example PYTHONPATH=. uv run pytest tests/e2e_tests/test_github_app.py.

PR-Agent has a new home!

After years of building this tool alongside the community, Qodo has donated PR-Agent to the open-source community - and we couldn't be more excited about what comes next.

The project now lives in the PR-Agent org on GitHub, is fully community-owned, and is open for contributions and additional maintainers.

What else changed:

• Docs moved to - docs.pr-agent.ai
• Qodo Merge (Qodo 1.0), the hosted URL, which was the enterprise version of PR-Agent, has been rebranded and evolved into Qodo (Qodo 2.0), a full AI code review platform.

This open-source release remains here as a community contribution from Qodo — the origin of modern AI-powered code collaboration. We’re proud to share it and inspire developers worldwide.

The project now has its first external maintainer, Naor (@naorpeled), and is currently in the process of being donated to an open-source foundation.
