What is PR-Agent?

PR-Agent runs on pull requests and answers commands such as describe, review and improve: it writes a summary of the change, points out issues, and proposes code suggestions. It can run as a GitHub Action, a webhook service or from the command line, with the model provider of your choice. It began at Qodo and is now a community-maintained project, separate from Qodo's commercial review product and its free tier.

Good fit if

  • You want automated first-pass reviews on every pull request with your own model keys.
  • You use GitLab, Bitbucket or Azure DevOps, not only GitHub.

Look elsewhere if

  • You want an agent that writes the code, not one that reviews it: OpenHands or OpenCode.

Before you adopt it

PR-Agent moved from Apache-2.0 to MIT in July 2026, both permissive licenses. It is community-maintained with sponsor support, so check recent releases if you depend on a specific git platform.
