PR Pilot Command-Line Interface

PR Pilot gives you a natural language interface for your Github projects. Given a prompt, it uses LLMs (Large Language Models) to autonomously fulfill tasks by interacting with your code base and Github issues.

Using prompt templates, you can create powerful, reusable commands that can be executed by PR Pilot.

🛠️ Usage

Open a terminal and ls into a repository you have installed PR Pilot.

In your repository, use the pilot command:

pilot task "Tell me about this project!"

📝 Ask PR Pilot to edit a local file for you:

pilot edit cli/cli.py "Make sure all functions and classes have docstrings."

⚡ Generate code quickly and save it as a file:

pilot task -o test_utils.py --code "Write some unit tests for the utils.py file."

🔍 Capture part of your screen and add it to a prompt:

pilot task -o component.html --code --snap "Write a Bootstrap5 component that looks like this."

📊 Get an organized view of your Github issues:

pilot task "Find all open Github issues labeled as 'bug', categorize and prioritize them"

📝 Generate parts of your documentation with a template:

pilot task --direct -f prompts/README.md.jinja2 -o README.md

To learn more about templates, check out the prompts directory.

📝 Execute a step-by-step plan:

Break down more complex tasks into smaller steps with a plan:

# document_cli.yaml

name: Document the CLI
prompt: |
  The CLI is great, but we need a comprehensive user documentation.
  The documentation should be stored as Markdown files in the repository.

steps:
  - name: Identify documentation needs
    output_file: doc_instructions.md
    prompt: |
      1. Read `cli/cli.py`
      2. Identify the key features of the CLI and how it works
      3. List the documentation files that need to be created and outline their content
      4. Create step-by-step instructions for creating the documentation

  - name: Document the CLI
    template: doc_instructions.md

Run it with pilot plan document_cli.yaml.
