Claude Code Action
A general-purpose Claude Code action for GitHub PRs and issues that can answer questions and implement code changes. This action listens for a trigger phrase in comments and activates Claude act on the request. It supports multiple authentication methods including Anthropic direct API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Vertex AI.

- 🔍 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)
