AI-powered Pull Request Description Generator

Project description

AIPR - Agentic Pull Request Description Generator

CI Release Python Code style: black Checked with mypy License

Automatically analyze git diffs and vulnerabilities to generate comprehensive, well-structured pull request descriptions. By intelligently detecting changes, performing security scans, and leveraging state-of-the-art AI models, AIPR helps teams save time while maintaining high-quality, consistent pull request descriptions.

AI-Driven Development

AI-Driven Claude Ready

This project follows an AI-driven development workflow:

  • 🤖 Built with AI - Developed using Claude Code with comprehensive AI guidance
  • 📋 AI Task Assignment - Structured workflow for AI agents documented in CONTRIBUTING.md
  • 📚 AI-Friendly Documentation - Comprehensive guides for AI agents in CLAUDE.md and Architecture Decision Records
  • 🏗️ Architecture-First Design - ADRs define behavior and guide implementation patterns
# Install with pipx (recommended)
pipx install pr-generator-agent

# Or with pip
pip install pr-generator-agent

# Set the environment variable for the API key
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-api-key"

# Generate a PR description
aipr

# Generate a conventional commit message
aipr commit

# Generate PR description from commit range
aipr pr --from abc123 --to def456

# Generate commit message from commit range
aipr commit --from v1.0.0

# Custom usage - Analyze changes against main branch
# Include: Vulnerability scanning
# Use: Azure OpenAI GPT-5 Mini model
# Prompt: meta template
# Output: Verbose
aipr pr -t main --vulns -p meta -m azure/gpt-5-mini -v

# Inline with merge request creation
gh pr create -b "$(aipr pr -s)" -t "feat: New Feature"

# Inline with commit creation
git commit -m "$(aipr commit)"

Key Features

  • 🔍 Smart Detection: Automatically analyzes working tree changes, compares branches, or analyzes commit ranges
  • 📝 Conventional Commits: Generate conventional commit messages from staged changes or commit ranges
  • 📊 Commit Range Analysis: Generate descriptions and commit messages from any commit range (SHA to SHA)
  • 🛡️ Security First: Optional vulnerability scanning between branches using Trivy
  • 🤖 AI-Powered: Multiple AI providers (Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) for optimal results
  • 🔄 CI/CD Ready: Seamless integration with GitLab and GitHub workflows

Commit Message Generation

$ git add src/auth.py tests/test_auth.py
$ aipr commit
feat(auth): add OAuth2 authentication support

$ git add requirements.txt
$ aipr commit
build(deps): update dependencies to latest versions

$ git add README.md docs/guide.md
$ aipr commit
docs: update installation and usage documentation

Requirements

  • Python 3.11 or higher (3.11, 3.12 officially supported)
  • Git
  • LLM API Key (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Azure OpenAI)
  • Trivy (used for --vulns scanning)

Environment Variables

The tool automatically detects which provider to use based on available environment variables, with the following priority order:

  1. Azure OpenAI (Default - Highest Priority)

    • AZURE_API_KEY: Azure OpenAI API key
    • AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT: Azure endpoint URL
    • AZURE_API_VERSION: API version (default: "2024-02-15-preview")
  2. Anthropic

    • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: Anthropic API key
  3. OpenAI

    • OPENAI_API_KEY: OpenAI API key
  4. Google Gemini

    • GEMINI_API_KEY: Google Gemini API key
  5. xAI

    • XAI_API_KEY: xAI API key for Grok models

Usage

AIPR provides two main commands:

PR Command (Pull Request Descriptions)

aipr pr [options]  # or just 'aipr' for backward compatibility

Options:

  • -t, --target: Compare changes with specific branch (default: auto-detects main/master)
  • -p, --prompt: Select prompt template (e.g., 'meta')
  • --vulns: Include vulnerability scanning
  • --working-tree: Use working tree changes
  • --context: Additional context for the PR description
  • --from: Starting commit for range analysis (SHA, branch, tag, etc.)
  • --to: Ending commit for range analysis (defaults to HEAD, requires --from)

Global Options:

  • -v, --verbose: Show API interaction details
  • -d, --debug: Preview prompts without API calls
  • -s, --silent: Output only the description
  • -m, --model: Specify AI model to use
  • -V, --version: Show the installed aipr version and exit

The tool intelligently detects changes by:

  1. Using staged/unstaged changes if present
  2. Comparing against target branch if working tree is clean

Commit Command (Conventional Commit Messages)

aipr commit [options]

Options:

  • --conventional: Generate conventional commit message (default)
  • --format: Message format (currently only 'conventional')
  • --context: Additional context for the commit message
  • --from: Starting commit for range analysis (SHA, branch, tag, etc.)
  • --to: Ending commit for range analysis (defaults to HEAD, requires --from)

Examples:

# Basic commit message generation from staged changes
git add .
aipr commit

# Generate commit message from commit range
aipr commit --from abc123 --to def456

# Generate commit message from specific commit to HEAD
aipr commit --from abc123

# With additional context
aipr commit --context "upstream sync"

# Use in automation
git commit -m "$(aipr commit)"
