CodeRabbit's fork ai-mistral-pr-reviewer
is an AI-based code reviewer and summarizer for
GitHub pull requests using OpenAI compatible APIs like MistralAI API. It is
designed to be used as a GitHub Action and can be configured to run on every
pull request and review comments
- PR Summarization: It generates a summary and release notes of the changes in the pull request.
- Line-by-line code change suggestions: Reviews the changes line by line and provides code change suggestions.
- Continuous, incremental reviews: Reviews are performed on each commit within a pull request, rather than a one-time review on the entire pull request.
- Cost-effective and reduced noise: Incremental reviews save on OpenAI costs and reduce noise by tracking changed files between commits and the base of the pull request.
- Chat with bot: Supports conversation with the bot in the context of lines of code or entire files, useful for providing context, generating test cases, and reducing code complexity.
- Smart review skipping: By default, skips in-depth review for simple
changes (e.g. typo fixes) and when changes look good for the most part. It can
be disabled by setting
review_simple_changes
andreview_comment_lgtm
totrue
. - Customizable prompts: Tailor the
system_message
,summarize
, andsummarize_release_notes
prompts to focus on specific aspects of the review process or even change the review objective.
To use this tool, you need to add the provided YAML file to your repository and
configure the required environment variables, such as GITHUB_TOKEN
,
the openai compatible API key OPENAI_API_KEY
, the base url of the API openai_base_url
,
the light model openai_light_model
and the heavy model openai_heavy_model
.
By default it assume you will use OPENAI so no need to specify openai_base_url
,
openai_light_model
and openai_heavy_model
unless you want to use something else
like Mistral where you should specify those values:

GITHUB_TOKEN
: This should already be available to the GitHub Action environment. This is used to add comments to the pull request.OPENAI_API_KEY
: use this to authenticate with OpenAI API or OpenAI compatible API like Mistral. You can get one here or a Mistral one here. Please add this key to your GitHub Action secrets.OPENAI_API_ORG
: (optional) use this to use the specified organization with OpenAI API if you have multiple. Please add this key to your GitHub Action secrets.openai_base_url
: (optional) use this to specify the base url of the OpenAI compatible API. Default is https://api.openai.com/v1openai_light_model
: (optional) use this to specify the light model to use. Default isgpt-3.5-turbo
openai_heavy_model
: (optional) use this to specify the heavy model to use. Default isgpt-4
Recommend using mistral-tiny
or mistral-small
for lighter tasks such as summarizing the
changes (openai_light_model
in configuration) and mistral-small
or mistral-medium
for more complex
Cost are really cheaper than OpenAI and the results quite similar.
If you want to use openai we recommend using gpt-3.5-turbo
for lighter tasks such as summarizing the
changes (openai_light_model
in configuration) and gpt-4
for more complex
review and commenting tasks (openai_heavy_model
in configuration).
Costs: gpt-3.5-turbo
is dirt cheap. gpt-4
is orders of magnitude more
expensive, but the results are vastly superior. We are typically spending $20 a
day for a 20 developer team with gpt-4
based review and commenting.

Tip: You can change the bot personality by configuring the system_message
value. For example, to review docs/blog posts, you can use the following prompt:
Blog Reviewer Prompt
system_message: |
You are `@coderabbitai` (aka `github-actions[bot]`), a language model
trained by OpenAI. Your purpose is to act as a highly experienced
DevRel (developer relations) professional with focus on cloud-native
infrastructure.

@coderabbitai Please generate a test plan for this file.
Note: A review comment is a comment made on a diff or a file in the pull request.
Sometimes it is useful to ignore a PR. For example, if you are using this action to review documentation, you can ignore PRs that only change the documentation. To ignore a PR, add the following keyword in the PR description:
@coderabbitai: ignore

Any suggestions or pull requests for improving the prompts are highly appreciated.
First, you'll need to have a reasonably modern version of
node
handy, tested with node 17+.
Install the dependencies
$ npm install
Build the typescript and package it for distribution
$ npm run build && npm run package
Set debug: true
in the workflow file to enable debug mode, which will show the
