Claude Code Action

Use it when

• Your team wants code questions answered and simple fixes implemented directly in GitHub PR and issue threads by mentioning a bot
• You want automated repository workflows such as PR review, issue triage and labeling, or docs sync run by an AI agent on your own GitHub runners

What it solves

Not the fit when

• Requires repository admin rights to install the GitHub app and secrets
• The quickstart installer only supports direct Anthropic API users; cloud providers need manual setup
• Consumes provider API credits on each trigger; scope triggers to avoid unwanted runs
• Do not grant broad write permissions or let untrusted PR text trigger privileged workflows without reviewing the action permissions, allowed tools, network access, and commit-signing configuration
• local IDE code completion
• running agents outside GitHub workflows
• CI test execution and flake detection

Install

Run /install-github-app inside the claude CLI (repo admin, direct Anthropic API), or add the action to a GitHub workflow YAML per docs/setup.md; Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry setups are in docs/cloud-providers.md

Invoke

Mention @claude in a PR or issue comment, assign an issue to it, or trigger a workflow with an explicit prompt; the action auto-detects the execution mode from workflow context
