Claude Code Action

A general-purpose [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) action for GitHub PRs and issues that can answer questions and implement code changes. This action intelligently detects when to activate based on your workflow context—whether responding to @claude mentions, issue assignments, or executing automation tasks with explicit prompts. It supports multiple authentication methods including Anthropic direct API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry.

Features

🎯 Intelligent Mode Detection: Automatically selects the appropriate execution mode based on your workflow context—no configuration needed
🤖 Interactive Code Assistant: Claude can answer questions about code, architecture, and programming
🔍 Code Review: Analyzes PR changes and suggests improvements
✨ Code Implementation: Can implement simple fixes, refactoring, and even new features
💬 PR/Issue Integration: Works seamlessly with GitHub comments and PR reviews
🛠️ Flexible Tool Access: Access to GitHub APIs and file operations (additional tools can be enabled via configuration)
📋 Progress Tracking: Visual progress indicators with checkboxes that dynamically update as Claude completes tasks
📊 Structured Outputs: Get validated JSON results that automatically become GitHub Action outputs for complex automations
🏃 Runs on Your Infrastructure: The action executes entirely on your own GitHub runner (Anthropic API calls go to your chosen provider)
⚙️ Simplified Configuration: Unified prompt and claude_args inputs provide clean, powerful configuration aligned with Claude Code SDK
