* feat: enhance mode routing with track_progress and context preservation

This PR implements enhanced mode routing to address two critical v1 migration issues:
1. Lost GitHub context when using custom prompts in tag mode
2. Missing tracking comments for automatic PR reviews

Changes:
- Add track_progress input to force tag mode with tracking comments for PR/issue events
- Support custom prompt injection in tag mode via <custom_instructions> section
- Inject GitHub context as environment variables in agent mode
- Validate track_progress usage (only allowed for PR/issue events)
- Comprehensive test coverage for new routing logic

Event Routing:
- Comment events: Default to tag mode, switch to agent with explicit prompt
- PR/Issue events: Default to agent mode, switch to tag mode with track_progress
- Custom prompts can now be used in tag mode without losing context

This ensures backward compatibility while solving context preservation and tracking visibility issues reported in discussions #490 and #491.

* formatting

* fix: address review comments

- Simplify track_progress description to be more general
- Move import to top of types.ts file

* revert: keep detailed track_progress description

The original description provides clarity about which specific event actions are supported.

* fix: add GitHub CI MCP tools to tag mode allowed list

Claude was trying to use CI status tools but they weren't in the
allowed list for tag mode, causing permission errors. This fix adds
the CI tools so Claude can check workflow status when reviewing PRs.

* fix: provide explicit git base branch reference to prevent PR review errors

- Tell Claude to use 'origin/{baseBranch}' instead of assuming 'main'
- Add explicit instructions for git diff/log commands with correct base branch
- Fixes 'fatal: ambiguous argument main..HEAD' error in fork environments
- Claude was autonomously running git diff main..HEAD when reviewing PRs

* fix prompt generation

* ci pass

Claude Code Action responding to a comment

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 prompt and claude_args inputs 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.
