What it does
AI-Agent Code Review for GitHub Pull Requests Description: This n8n workflow automates the process of reviewing code changes in GitHub pull requests using an OpenAI-powered agent. It connects your GitHub repo, extracts modified files, analyzes diffs, and uses an AI agent to generate a code review based on your internal code best practices (fed from a Google Sheet). It ends by posting the review as a comment on the PR and tagging it with a visual label like ✅ Reviewed by AI. 🔧 What It Does 1. Triggered on PR creation 3. Extracts code diffs from the PR 5. Formats and feeds them into an OpenAI prompt 7. Enriches the prompt using a Google Sheet of Swift best practices 9. Posts an AI-generated review as a comment on the PR 11. Applies a PR label to visually mark reviewed PRs ✅ Prerequisites Before deploying this workflow, ensure you have the following: - n8n Instance (Self-hosted or Cloud) - GitHub Repository with PR activity - OpenAI API Key for GPT-4o, GPT-4-turbo, or GPT-3.5 - GitHub OAuth App (or PAT) connected to n8n to post comments and access PR diffs - (Optional) Google Sheets API credentials if using the code best practices lookup node. ⚙️ Setup Instructions 1. Import the Workflow in n8n, click on Workflows → Import from file or JSON Paste or upload the JSON code of this template 2. Configure Triggers and Connections 🔁 GitHub Trigger - Node: PR Trigger - Repository: Select the GitHub repo(s) to monitor - Events: Set to pullrequest - Auth: Use GitHub OAuth2 credentials 📥 HTTP Request Node: Get file's Diffs from PR No authentication needed; it uses dynamic path from trigger 🧠 OpenAI Model - Node: OpenAI Chat Model - Model: Select gpt-4o, gpt-4-turbo, or gpt-3.5-turbo - Credential: Provide your OpenAI API Key 🧑💻 Code Review Agent Node : Code Review Agent Connected to OpenAI and optionally to tools like Google Sheets 💬 GitHub Comment Poster Uses GitHub API to post review comments back on PR Node: GitHub Robot Credential: Use the agent Github account (OAuth or PAT) Repo : Pick your owen Github Repository 🏷️ PR Labeler (optional) Adds label ReviewedByAI after successful comment Node: Add Label to PR Label : you ca customize the label text of your owen tag. 📊 Google Sheet Best Practices config (optional) Connects to a Google Sheet for coding guideline lookups, we can replace Google sheet by another tool or data base - First prepare your best practices list with the clear description and the code bad/good examples - Add al the best practices in your Google Sheet - Configure the Code Best Practices node in the template : Credential : Use your Google Sheet account by OAuth2 URL : Add your Google Sheet document URL Sheet : Add the name of the best practices sheet
