# Capabilities and Limitations
|
|
|
|
## What Claude Can Do
|
|
|
|
- **Respond in a Single Comment**: Claude operates by updating a single initial comment with progress and results
|
|
- **Answer Questions**: Analyze code and provide explanations
|
|
- **Implement Code Changes**: Make simple to moderate code changes based on requests
|
|
- **Prepare Pull Requests**: Creates commits on a branch and links back to a prefilled PR creation page
|
|
- **Perform Code Reviews**: Analyze PR changes and provide detailed feedback
|
|
- **Smart Branch Handling**:
|
|
- When triggered on an **issue**: Always creates a new branch for the work
|
|
- When triggered on an **open PR**: Always pushes directly to the existing PR branch
|
|
- When triggered on a **closed PR**: Creates a new branch since the original is no longer active
|
|
- **View GitHub Actions Results**: Can access workflow runs, job logs, and test results on the PR where it's tagged when `actions: read` permission is configured (see [Additional Permissions for CI/CD Integration](./configuration.md#additional-permissions-for-cicd-integration))
|
|
|
|
## What Claude Cannot Do
|
|
|
|
- **Submit PR Reviews**: Claude cannot submit formal GitHub PR reviews
|
|
- **Approve PRs**: For security reasons, Claude cannot approve pull requests
|
|
- **Post Multiple Comments**: Claude only acts by updating its initial comment
|
|
- **Execute Commands Outside Its Context**: Claude only has access to the repository and PR/issue context it's triggered in
|
|
- **Run Arbitrary Bash Commands**: By default, Claude cannot execute Bash commands unless explicitly allowed using the `allowed_tools` configuration
|
|
- **Perform Branch Operations**: Cannot merge branches, rebase, or perform other git operations beyond pushing commits
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
1. **Trigger Detection**: Listens for comments containing the trigger phrase (default: `@claude`) or issue assignment to a specific user
|
|
2. **Context Gathering**: Analyzes the PR/issue, comments, code changes
|
|
3. **Smart Responses**: Either answers questions or implements changes
|
|
4. **Branch Management**: Creates new PRs for human authors, pushes directly for Claude's own PRs
|
|
5. **Communication**: Posts updates at every step to keep you informed
