Open-source GitHub Action uses Claude to review and auto-merge pull requests
Original: We let an AI reviewer approve and merge its own PRs — here's the open-source gate that makes it safe
Short summary
human0 open-sourced a GitHub Action that uses Claude to review pull requests and approve or request changes autonomously. The reviewer reads the full PR, leaves inline comments, and bases its verdict on a plain-English standards doc you author. When it approves, auto-merge ships the code with no human click. It runs entirely in your GitHub Actions, requires an Anthropic API key, and is Apache-2.0 licensed.
