Project description
cicaddy-action
GitHub Action that wraps cicaddy for running AI agent tasks in GitHub Actions workflows.
Features
- AI-powered PR reviews with optional Context7 MCP for up-to-date library documentation

- Multiple AI providers: Gemini, OpenAI, Claude
- Secret redaction via detect-secrets for safe public outputs
- DSPy YAML task definitions for customizable analysis workflows
Quick Start
AI PR Review
This example uses the pull_request trigger, which works for in-repo PRs
(branches pushed to the same repository). For fork PR support, see
.github/workflows/pr-review.yml which uses pull_request_target with
a safe-to-review label gate.

Local Development
Running cicaddy locally
You can run cicaddy locally to review PRs without GitHub Actions. This is useful for testing changes to the plugin or reviewing PRs in other repositories.
1. Install the plugin in editable mode:
uv pip install -e ".[test]"
2. Create an env file (e.g. .env.my-review):
# AI Provider
AI_PROVIDER=gemini
AI_MODEL=gemini-3-flash-preview
GEMINI_API_KEY=<your-gemini-api-key>
# GitHub Configuration
GITHUB_TOKEN=<your-github-token>
GITHUB_REPOSITORY=owner/repo
GITHUB_EVENT_NAME=pull_request
GITHUB_PR_NUMBER=42
# Agent Settings
POST_PR_COMMENT=true
ENABLE_LOCAL_TOOLS=true
LOCAL_TOOLS_WORKING_DIR=.
# Optional: MCP servers (e.g. Context7 for library docs)
MCP_SERVERS_CONFIG=[{"name": "context7", "protocol": "http", "endpoint": "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp", "headers": {"CONTEXT7_API_KEY": "<your-key>"}}]
# Logging
LOG_LEVEL=INFO
3. Generate a GitHub token:
The token needs repo scope for private repos or public_repo for public repos.
When POST_PR_COMMENT=true, the token must also have write access to pull requests
(the repo scope includes this; for fine-grained tokens, enable "Pull requests: Write").
# Use your existing gh CLI token
gh auth token
Warning: Never commit env files containing secrets. The
.env.*pattern is already in.gitignore, but if you use a different naming convention (e.g..env), make sure it is also ignored.
4. Run the review:
uv run cicaddy run --env-file .env.my-review
The agent auto-detects github_pr type from the env vars, fetches the PR diff,
runs AI analysis, and optionally posts a comment on the PR.
5. Validate configuration (optional):
uv run cicaddy validate --env-file .env.my-review
