GitHub PR Assistant

GitHub PR Assistant reads pull request metadata, fetches diffs and file lists, pulls CI and check run statuses, and reads recent conversation threads. It maps changed files to paths and languages so you can see which modules and teams are affected, and it checks commit history for context like recent refactors or dependency bumps. The connector uses the GitHub API to read labels, branch names, base commits, linked issues, and available merge methods.

It generates a concise, human-readable summary of what changed, extracts TODOs and potential breaking changes, and suggests a short PR description and changelog entry you can paste or commit back into the body. The assistant posts that as a PR comment or updates the body, recommends reviewers based on CODEOWNERS and recent committers, adds or removes labels, and emits a review checklist that lists files to inspect and tests to run.

The tool watches PR events and updates summaries when new commits land, highlights failing CI jobs and the files touched by those failures, and flags large binary additions or common sensitive patterns like exposed keys or changed licenses. It can open follow-up issues from extracted TODOs, add inline comments with code snippets or suggested fixes, and attach a short risk assessment so reviewers focus on the risky areas first.

Say you open a review for a feature with 120 changed files: the assistant reads the diff, posts a short summary and checklist, recommends two reviewers, and calls out the single failing test and the files it touched. That saves you the back-and-forth between GitHub, CI, and your local editor and lets the team start targeted reviews without switching tools.
