A GitHub Action that automatically generates pull request descriptions using AI (OpenAI or Anthropic). This action analyzes the changes in your pull request and creates a clear, concise description that helps other engineers understand the changes.

• Automatically generates PR descriptions using AI
• Supports both OpenAI (GPT-4) and Anthropic (Claude) models
• Preserves existing PR descriptions and appends AI-generated summaries
• Automatically updates AI summaries on subsequent runs
• Easy to configure and customize
• Clear headers for AI-generated content

When the action runs:

1. If there's no existing PR description, it creates one with an AI-generated summary
2. If there's an existing description:
   • Preserves the original content
   • Appends or updates the AI-generated summary
   • Clearly marks AI-generated content with "🤖 PR Summarizer" header

Add this action to your workflow file (e.g., .github/workflows/pr-description.yml):

name: Generate PR Description
on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened]

permissions:
  pull-requests: write
  contents: read

jobs:
  generate-description:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: meido-ai/pr-summarizer@v1
        with:
          github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          anthropic-api-key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
          model-provider: 'anthropic'
          model: 'claude-3-sonnet-20240229'
          # Optional: Use OpenAI instead
          # openai-api-key: ${{ secrets.OPENAI_API_KEY }}

† OpenAI API key is required unless using Anthropic (see note below)
‡ Anthropic API key is required if model-provider is set to anthropic

Note on API Keys:

• You must provide either an OpenAI API key or an Anthropic API key
• By default, OpenAI will be used and requires an OpenAI API key
• To use Anthropic:
  1. Set model-provider to anthropic
  2. Provide an anthropic-api-key
  3. Optionally remove the openai-api-key

1. Add the workflow file to your repository
2. Set up the required secrets in your repository:
   • For OpenAI: Add OPENAI_API_KEY secret
   • For Anthropic: Add ANTHROPIC_API_KEY secret
3. The action will run automatically when PRs are opened
