Cursor is no longer the desired automation path. We need GitHub-native PR reviews that use the Claude and Astra accounts directly, with Opus 5.5 high followed by Astra high.

This adds a PR review workflow and a dependency-free Node driver that:

  • Runs Opus 5.5 high, then GPT-6 Astra high, continuing to Astra when Opus fails.
  • Fetches PR diffs as data from the base checkout; no PR-head code, hooks or lifecycle scripts execute with repository secrets.
  • Runs Opus tool-free with --safe-mode, and Astra in a read-only empty workspace with tool-environment inheritance disabled.
  • Rejects diffs over 192 KiB instead of truncating them.
  • Updates one marked comment per model on each push rather than accumulating comment pairs.
  • Publishes failure outcomes honestly while keeping the workflow failed.

Setup and security requirements are documented in docs/pr-reviews.md. After merge, configure ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY as repository Actions secrets. No credentials or account-specific settings are committed.

Validation:

  • Full suite: 640 tests passed, zero failures or cancellations.
  • Type check, version check, git diff --check, YAML parsing and actionlint passed.
  • Fake-CLI end-to-end tests cover collection, model and isolation arguments, both reviewers, oversized input, missing keys, and create/update comment behavior.
  • A real read-only collection against a public 125,494-byte PR diff succeeded without calling a model or publishing a comment. Provider-backed reviews still require the secrets and a separate live check.

Created with Kimi in Kimi Code CLI.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Pull requests now receive automated reviews from Opus and Astra when opened, updated, reopened, or marked ready for review. Reviews can also be started manually, and results are posted as pull request comments.
    • Reviews are skipped for diffs larger than 192 KiB, and failures are reported in the review comment when possible.
  • Documentation
    • Added setup, permissions, security, and validation guidance for automated pull request reviews.

RetriggerView in GreptileConfidence Score: 3/5

Not safe to merge as written: missing GitHub authentication prevents the core workflow from working, and accepted large diffs can prevent both reviewers from starting.

Findings

  1. P1 Reviews lack GitHub authentication ▶
  2. P1 Large accepted diffs fail ▶
  3. P2 Size failures never get posted ▶
  4. P2 Contributor markers redirect review updates ▶

Summary

Adds GitHub-native PR reviews with Opus followed by Astra.

  • Pull requests get sequential Opus and Astra reviews.
  • Each model keeps one marked comment on the pull request.

The authentication and large-prompt failures must be fixed before merging. The failure-reporting and comment-targeting issues are non-blocking.

Walkthrough

The change adds a script and GitHub Actions workflow to collect pull request diffs, run Opus and Astra reviews, and publish or update reviewer comments. It also adds tests and documentation for the workflow and script.

Changes: Automated PR reviews

Layer / File(s) Summary
Collect diffs and run reviewers
scripts/pr-review.mjs, tests/pr-review.test.mjs, docs/pr-reviews.md
The script collects pull request data, rejects diffs over 192 KiB, builds prompts, and runs the selected reviewer CLI. Tests cover prompt and CLI arguments, diff-size rejection, and documented execution constraints.
Format and publish review results
scripts/pr-review.mjs, tests/pr-review.test.mjs
The script formats reviewer output and updates a marked comment or creates one. Review failures can be written to output and published. Tests cover end-to-end publication and missing-key behavior.
Run and document the review workflow
.github/workflows/pr-review.yml, README.md, docs/pr-reviews.md
The workflow supports pull request events and manual dispatch, runs the reviewer steps, and publishes results. The documentation describes setup, permissions, validation, and a read-only collection check.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: High · up to 7ad2a

The new PR-review workflow will not run as written. It uses an expression GitHub rejects in its job settings and does not give the GitHub CLI a token, so no diff is collected and no review comment is posted. Large diffs below the size limit can still stop both reviewers from starting. PRs with many comments break publishing. A participant's comment containing the review marker can be overwritten. Fix these before merging.

Explanation

The title "actions: review PRs with Opus and Astra" matches the main change. The PR adds a GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/pr-review.yml) that runs Opus and Astra reviews on pull requests, plus the supporting driver script, docs, and tests. The title is short, single-sentence, and names the two reviewers. It does not mention the diff-size limit, comment updates, or secrets, which is acceptable because the title need not cover every detail.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 10 functions across 2 files. (3 skipped: 3 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Replace the runner.temp expression in job-level env. The workflow cannot run as written.

The runner context is not available in jobs.<job_id>.env. Only github, needs, strategy, matrix, vars, secrets and inputs are available there. actionlint reports the same error. GitHub rejects the workflow file as invalid, or REVIEW_WORK_DIR is never set. In both cases the collect, review and post steps do not work.

Set the variable in a step instead. In a shell step, RUNNER_TEMP is available as an environment variable.

Pass the GitHub token only to the GitHub CLI steps.

scripts/pr-review.mjs invokes gh api and gh pr comment through the inherited environment. These steps do not set GH_TOKEN, so the GitHub CLI can fail authentication before it collects the diff or publishes a comment.

Send the prompt through stdin instead of one CLI argument.

collect() accepts a diff of up to 192 KiB, but both reviewer commands put the full prompt in one argument. On the workflow's Linux runner, a single argument is limited to 32 pages—typically 128 KiB. A diff between that limit and 192 KiB passes collection but makes both reviewer processes fail to start. Pass the prompt through stdin for both CLIs. (man7.org)

Parse every page of PR comments.

When a PR has more than 100 issue comments, gh api --paginate prints separate JSON arrays for its pages. JSON.parse() cannot parse those arrays as one document. Both publication steps then fail, even if the review commands succeeded. Combine the pages before searching for a marked comment. (cli.github.com)

Match the comment author as well as the marker.

Any PR participant can put <!-- relay-pr-review:opus --> or the Astra marker in a comment. If that comment precedes the workflow's comment, find() selects it for PATCH.

P1 Reviews lack GitHub authentication

The workflow never supplies GH_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN to gh. A clean runner therefore fails at collection before either model can review the PR. Checkout's persisted Git credentials do not authenticate these API calls, and publication also needs the token. Supply ${{ github.token }} as GH_TOKEN to the collection and publication steps before merging.

Artifacts

Executed authentication validation script

  • Runs the unchanged PR driver and installed gh in isolated environments, with and without synthetic checkout credentials, asserting collection and publication authentication failures without GitHub writes.

Clean runner output without checkout credentials

  • Captures real collection, direct API reads, and both publication runs without tokens or stored credentials, showing local authentication rejection before HTTP.

Runner output after adding checkout-style Git credentials

  • Repeats the same calls after proving Git resolves a synthetic persisted authorization header, showing checkout authentication does not unblock gh.

P1 Large accepted diffs fail

Both reviewers receive the entire prompt as one command-line argument. On the Linux runner, a single argument is limited to about 128 KiB, but collection accepts diffs up to 192 KiB. A 150 KiB diff passed collection and then both launches failed with E2BIG, before either reviewer executable started. Before merging, send the prompt through standard input or another supported non-argument transport and add a launch test with an accepted diff above 128 KiB.

Artifacts

Executable reproduction harness for small and accepted large diffs

  • The executed harness creates isolated fake executables, runs the unmodified collection and both review commands, and asserts launch markers and outputs—the reproduction requires no provider access.

Small diff control with both reviewers launched

  • Ran collection and both reviews with a 1,024-byte diff and captured successful exits, launch markers, and synthetic review files—the control succeeds.

Accepted 150 KiB diff with both reviewer launches blocked

  • Ran the identical flow with a 153,600-byte diff and captured successful collection, two E2BIG failures, absent launch markers, and failure review files—the candidate is reproduced.

P2 Size failures never get posted

An oversized diff throws before pr.json is saved, but both publication steps require that file. Those steps therefore fail before posting the size-limit explanation, leaving any earlier review comments unchanged. This is a non-blocking reporting gap: authors must open the failed workflow to discover why the current push was not reviewed. Save the PR metadata before checking the diff size and provide a collection-failure outcome that publication can read.

Artifacts

Executable candidate 2 reproduction harness

  • Runs the unchanged driver with isolated fake CLIs, extracts workflow commands and conditions, and asserts comment state and every GitHub write attempt, making both cases reproducible without external calls.

Small-diff control with successful comment updates

  • Captured the 100-byte control through collection, both reviews, and both publication steps, showing two successful PATCH calls to existing comments.

Oversized-diff failure with unchanged prior comments

  • Captured the 196,609-byte case with Opus skipped and all always steps attempted, showing missing metadata prevents both posts and produces zero GitHub writes.

P2 Contributor markers redirect review updates

Comment lookup selects the first matching marker without checking its author. If a contributor posts that marker before the bot's comment, subsequent reviews target the contributor's comment instead of the bot's review. With write permission, the update succeeds there while the genuine bot comment remains stale. This is a non-blocking publication-targeting defect that can leave readers looking at an outdated review. Match both the marker and the expected publishing identity, creating a bot comment when no verified match exists.

Artifacts

Executable comment-selection and authorization harness

  • The executed harness runs the unchanged driver against a local HTTP API and retrieves GitHub documentation, making the publication-target checks reproducible without live writes.

Publication output without a contributor marker

  • Both reviewer post commands updated genuine bot comment 202 with HTTP 200 OK and exit code 0, establishing the baseline.

Publication output with an earlier contributor marker
