LLM-agnostic GitHub AI Code Review Tool with integration to GitHub actions

🤖 AI Code Review Tool

An AI-powered GitHub code review tool that uses LLMs to detect high-confidence, high-impact issues—such as security vulnerabilities, bugs, and maintainability concerns.

✨ Features

• Automatically reviews pull requests via GitHub Actions
• Focuses on critical issues (e.g., bugs, security risks, design flaws)
• Posts review results as a comment on your PR
• Can be used locally; works with both local and remote Git repositories
• Optional, fun AI-generated code awards 🏆
• Easily configurable via .ai-code-review.toml in your repository root
• Extremely fast, parallel LLM usage
• Model-agnostic (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, local PyTorch inference, etc.)

See code review in action: example

🚀 Quickstart

1. Review Pull Requests via GitHub Actions

Create a .github/workflows/ai-code-review.yml file:

name: AI Code Review
on: { pull_request: { types: [opened, synchronize, reopened] } }
jobs:
  review:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions: { contents: read, pull-requests: write } # 'write' for leaving the summary comment
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      with: { fetch-depth: 0 }
    - name: Set up Python
      uses: actions/setup-python@v5
      with: { python-version: "3.13" }
    - name: Install AI Code Review tool
      run: pip install ai-code-review~=1.0
    - name: Run AI code analysis
      env:
        LLM_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.LLM_API_KEY }}
        LLM_API_TYPE: openai
        MODEL: "gpt-4.1"
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      run: |
        ai-code-review
        ai-code-review github-comment --token ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
      with:
        name: ai-code-review-results
        path: |
          code-review-report.md
          code-review-report.json

⚠️ Make sure to add LLM_API_KEY to your repository’s GitHub secrets.

💪 Done!
PRs to your repository will now receive AI code reviews automatically. ✨
See GitHub Setup Guide for more details.

2. Running Code Analysis Locally

Initial Local Setup

Prerequisites: Python 3.11 / 3.12 / 3.13

Step1: Install ai-code-review using pip.

pip install ai-code-review

Troubleshooting:
pip may be also available via cli as pip3 depending on your Python installation.

Step2: Perform initial setup

The following command will perform one-time setup using an interactive wizard. You will be prompted to enter LLM configuration details (API type, API key, etc). Configuration will be saved to ~/.env.ai-code-review.

ai-code-review setup

Troubleshooting:
On some systems, ai-code-review command may not became available immediately after installation.
Try restarting your terminal or running python -m ai_code_review instead.

Perform your first AI code review locally

Step1: Navigate to your repository root directory.
Step2: Switch to the branch you want to review.
Step3: Run following command

ai-code-review

Note: This will analyze the current branch against the repository main branch by default.
Files that are not staged for commit will be ignored.
See ai-code-review --help for more options.

Reviewing remote repository

ai-code-review remote [e-mail]:owner/repo.git <FEATURE_BRANCH>..<MAIN_BRANCH>

Use interactive help for details:

ai-code-review remote --help

🔧 Configuration

Change behavior via .ai-code-review.toml:

• Prompt templates, filtering and post-processing using Python code snippets
• Tagging, severity, and confidence settings
• Custom AI awards for developer brilliance
• Output customization

You can override the default config by placing .ai-code-review.toml in your repo root.

See default configuration here.
