pr-decorator 1.0.1

Agentic system that decorates Pull/Merge Requests into a standardized MR report via AWS Bedrock (Amazon Nova Pro).

PR Decorator Agent — Primary Instructions

Project Overview

An agentic AI system powered by AWS Bedrock that automatically decorates Pull Requests (Merge Requests) by following a structured observe → plan → execute → observe loop, and generates a standardized MR report as output.

---

Agent Loop (Core Behavior)

OBSERVE → PLAN → EXECUTE → OBSERVE → (if outcome OK) → FINISH & GENERATE OUTPUT

Phase	Description
Observe	Read the raw diff, commits, branch name, ticket references, and any existing MR metadata
Plan	Decide what sections need to be filled, what code changes occurred, what categories they fall into
Execute	Call AWS Bedrock (Claude/Titan/etc.) to generate each section of the MR description
Observe	Validate the generated output — check for completeness, correctness, and formatting
Finish	If output passes validation, finalize and post/return the decorated MR

---

MR Output Template

MR Title        : <concise, imperative-mood title>
MR Description  :
  Purpose       : <why this MR exists — business/technical reason>
  Ticket ID     : <linked issue/ticket e.g. JIRA-123>
  Code Changes  : <summary of what files/modules changed and how>
  Features Added: <new capabilities introduced, if any>
  Linting Fixed : <style/formatting/lint issues resolved, if any>
  Bug Fixed     : <bugs resolved with brief description, if any>

---

Primary Instructions for the Agent

1. Input Collection (Observe Phase)

• Accept a git diff or list of changed files as primary input
• Accept optional metadata: branch name, commit messages, linked ticket ID
• Accept optional: existing MR title/description (for enrichment mode)

2. Analysis & Planning (Plan Phase)

• Parse the diff to classify changes:
  • New files → Features Added
  • Modified logic → Code Changes or Bug Fixed
  • Formatting/style-only changes → Linting Fixed
  • Config/dependency changes → Code Changes
• Extract ticket ID from branch name or commit message (e.g. feat/JIRA-123-...)
• Infer the purpose from commit messages and change patterns

3. Generation (Execute Phase)

• Call AWS Bedrock with a structured prompt per section
• Use a system prompt that enforces the MR template format
• Generate each section independently or in a single structured call
• Keep descriptions concise, technical, and developer-friendly

4. Validation (Observe Phase — Post Execute)

• Check all required fields are populated (no empty sections)
• Ensure Ticket ID is present (warn if missing)
• Ensure MR Title follows imperative mood convention (e.g. "Add", "Fix", "Refactor")
• If any section is empty or invalid → re-plan and re-execute that section only

5. Output Generation (Finish Phase)

• Output the final decorated MR as:
  • Markdown string (for GitLab/GitHub MR body)
  • Optionally: JSON payload for API submission
• Log a brief agent trace: what was observed, planned, executed, and validated

AWS Bedrock Integration

• Model: Amazon Nova Pro via Bedrock. Default model id is the APAC cross-region inference profile apac.amazon.nova-pro-v1:0 (required to call Nova in ap-south-1). Override with the BEDROCK_MODEL_ID env var or the --model flag (e.g. amazon.nova-pro-v1:0 / us.amazon.nova-pro-v1:0 in US regions).
• Invocation: Uses bedrock-runtime → converse API (model-agnostic).
• Prompt Strategy: Strict output-format enforcement via prompts/mr_template.txt.
• Region: Configurable. Default ap-south-1; override with BEDROCK_REGION / AWS_REGION env var or the --region flag.
• Auth: IAM Role / AWS credential chain (no hardcoded keys).

---

Non-Functional Requirements

• The agent must be stateless — each PR decoration is an independent run
• Support retry logic (max 2 retries) if Bedrock call fails
• Output must always conform to the MR template — no freeform deviation
• Agent trace/log must be saved alongside output for debugging

Installation & Usage

1. Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+.
• git on your PATH (the CLI shells out to it to read diffs).
• AWS credentials with Bedrock access in your target region, and model access to Amazon Nova Pro enabled in the Bedrock console (Bedrock → Model access → Nova Pro).

2. Install

Install the published package — this puts the pr-decorator command on your PATH:

pip install pr-decorator
# or, with uv:
uv pip install pr-decorator
# or run without installing into your environment:
uvx pr-decorator --help

To keep it isolated from your other tools, install it via pipx:

pipx install pr-decorator

Confirm it's available:

pr-decorator --help

3. Configure AWS

Auth uses the standard AWS credential chain — never hardcode keys. Use any of:

aws configure                  # writes ~/.aws/credentials + config
# or
aws sso login --profile <p> && export AWS_PROFILE=<p>
# or export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID / AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY / AWS_SESSION_TOKEN

Optional environment overrides (defaults shown):

export BEDROCK_REGION=ap-south-1
export BEDROCK_MODEL_ID=apac.amazon.nova-pro-v1:0

Verify credentials + region reach AWS before running the agent:

python -c "import boto3; print(boto3.client('sts', region_name='ap-south-1').get_caller_identity()['Account'])"

4. Run

Run pr-decorator from inside the git repository whose changes you want to decorate:

# Zero-arg: auto-detect base (origin/main → main → master), diff the current
# branch against it, and auto-fill branch + commit messages. Just run:
pr-decorator

# Override the range / branch / ticket explicitly:
pr-decorator --range origin/main...HEAD --branch "$(git branch --show-current)"

# Or pipe any diff in:
git diff origin/main | pr-decorator --format markdown

# From a saved diff file, JSON output, with an explicit ticket:
pr-decorator --diff-file changes.diff --ticket-id PRD-1 --format json

Useful flags: --model, --region, --format {markdown,json}, --no-write (print only, skip writing to output/), --context-lines N (context lines for git diff --unified on --range; the large default feeds whole-file content to the LLM so it can judge intent — lower it for very large PRs). Content size is capped via MR_MAX_FILE_CHARS / MR_MAX_TOTAL_CHARS env vars.

5. Validate it worked

A successful run:

• exits with code 0 (non-zero means a required section failed validation),
• prints the decorated MR to stdout, and
• writes output/mr_report.md (or .json) and output/agent_trace.json in the current working directory.

Check the trace to confirm the Bedrock call landed — look for an execute entry with "ok": true and a finish entry with "ok": true:

cat output/agent_trace.json

Missing AWS credentials? If no credentials resolve from the chain, the run stops immediately (it does not retry) with a clear message — error: AWS credentials are missing. ... — and exits with code 2.

Develop from source

Contributing to pr-decorator itself? Clone the repo and use an editable install (Python 3.12 recommended — see .python-version):

uv venv --python 3.12 .venv && uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
.venv/bin/pr-decorator --help        # the CLI, from your checkout
.venv/bin/ruff check .               # lint
.venv/bin/pytest                     # offline test suite (stubbed Bedrock, no AWS)

CI / CD — Build, Package & Publish

The .github/workflows/build.yml workflow runs on every push, PR, and version tag:

• build — builds the wheel + sdist with uv build, validates metadata with twine check, installs the wheel into a clean venv to confirm the pr-decorator CLI and packaged prompt work, and uploads dist/* as a downloadable artifact.
• publish-pypi (tags v* only) — publishes to PyPI via Trusted Publishing (OIDC; no API tokens stored).
• release (tags v* only) — attaches the artifacts to a GitHub Release.

Publishing to PyPI

The package is published to https://pypi.org/project/pr-decorator/.

One-time setup — register the GitHub repo as a Trusted Publisher on PyPI:

1. Log in to PyPI → Your projects → pr-decorator → Settings → Publishing (for a brand-new name, use Publishing → Add a pending publisher first).
2. Add a GitHub Actions publisher:
   • Owner: kunaljha5
   • Repository: pr-decorator
   • Workflow name: build.yml
   • Environment: pypi
3. In the GitHub repo, create an Environment named pypi (Settings → Environments → New environment) — optionally add required reviewers to gate releases.

Cut a release:

# bump version in pyproject.toml first (e.g. 0.1.0 -> 0.1.1), commit, then:
git tag v0.1.1
git push origin v0.1.1

The tag triggers build → publish-pypi → release. After it succeeds:

pip install pr-decorator        # or: uv pip install pr-decorator
pr-decorator --help

To dry-run against TestPyPI first, add a Trusted Publisher on https://test.pypi.org and set repository-url: https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ on the pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish step.

Manual publish without CI (needs a PyPI API token): uv build && uvx twine upload dist/*.
