pr-agent: An open-source, AI-powered code review agent for pull requests.
What problem it solves
Pull request review requires timely, useful feedback and suggestions without adding unnecessary manual work. Teams also need control over deployment, prompts, model choice, and integration with their preferred git providers and development workflows.
Key features
Automated review tools — Run review-related tools as pull request comments or through the CLI, including /describe, /review, /improve, and /ask.
Source: README
Multiple deployment options — Use a git provider action, run the CLI locally, or deploy with Docker, a self-hosted service, or webhooks.
Source: README, Dockerfile.github_action_dockerhub
Broad git provider support — Connect with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and Gitea through platform-specific integrations.
Source: README, github_action
Configurable AI models — Select among supported model providers or other models reachable through LiteLLM, with model configuration available for project-specific needs.
Source: README, .pr_agent.toml
Self-hosted operation — Keep control of your data and infrastructure while customizing prompts and review behavior for your team.

Quick start
Copied verbatim from the project's README.
pip install "pr-agent[github]"
export OPENAI_KEY=your_key_here
pr-agent --pr_url https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123 review# Comment on a PR (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket/…):
/describe
/review
/improve
/ask "What does this PR change?" # free-text Q&A about the PR
# Issue-scoped commands run on an issue instead of a PR:
/similar_issue # find similar issues in the repository
# Or locally via the CLI:
pr-agent --pr_url <PR_URL> review
pr-agent --issue_url <ISSUE_URL> similar_issueWho it may suit
This may suit development teams that want AI-assisted pull request review, configurable review behavior, and flexible deployment across common git platforms.
