This change removes the custom timeout_minutes parameter from the action in favor of using GitHub Actions' native timeout-minutes feature. Changes: - Removed timeout_minutes input from action.yml and base-action/action.yml - Removed all timeout handling logic from base-action/src/run-claude.ts - Updated base-action/src/index.ts to remove timeoutMinutes parameter - Removed timeout-related tests from base-action/test/run-claude.test.ts - Removed timeout_minutes from all example workflow files (19 files) Rationale: - Simplifies the codebase by removing custom timeout logic - Users can use GitHub Actions' native timeout-minutes at the job/step level - Reduces complexity and maintenance burden - Follows GitHub Actions best practices BREAKING CHANGE: The timeout_minutes parameter is no longer supported. Users should use GitHub Actions' native timeout-minutes instead. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Claude Code Action
A general-purpose Claude Code action for GitHub PRs and issues that can answer questions and implement code changes. This action intelligently detects when to activate based on your workflow context—whether responding to @claude mentions, issue assignments, or executing automation tasks with explicit prompts. It supports multiple authentication methods including Anthropic direct API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Vertex AI.
Features
- 🎯 Intelligent Mode Detection: Automatically selects the appropriate execution mode based on your workflow context—no configuration needed
- 🤖 Interactive Code Assistant: Claude can answer questions about code, architecture, and programming
- 🔍 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)
- 📋 Progress Tracking: Visual progress indicators with checkboxes that dynamically update as Claude completes tasks
- 🏃 Runs on Your Infrastructure: The action executes entirely on your own GitHub runner (Anthropic API calls go to your chosen provider)
- ⚙️ Simplified Configuration: Unified
promptandclaude_argsinputs provide clean, powerful configuration aligned with Claude Code SDK
📦 Upgrading from v0.x?
See our Migration Guide for step-by-step instructions on updating your workflows to v1.0. The new version simplifies configuration while maintaining compatibility with most existing setups.
Quickstart
The easiest way to set up this action is through Claude Code in the terminal. Just open claude and run /install-github-app.
This command will guide you through setting up the GitHub app and required secrets.
Note:
- You must be a repository admin to install the GitHub app and add secrets
- This quickstart method is only available for direct Anthropic API users. For AWS Bedrock or Google Vertex AI setup, see docs/cloud-providers.md.
