🤖 Installing Claude Code GitHub App

This PR adds a GitHub Actions workflow that enables Claude Code integration in our repository.

What is Claude Code?

Claude Code is an AI coding agent that can help with:

  • Bug fixes and improvements
  • Documentation updates
  • Implementing new features
  • Code reviews and suggestions
  • Writing tests
  • And more!

How it works

Once this PR is merged, we'll be able to interact with Claude by mentioning @claude in a pull request or issue comment.
Once the workflow is triggered, Claude will analyze the comment and surrounding context, and execute on the request in a GitHub action.

Important Notes

  • This workflow won't take effect until this PR is merged
  • @claude mentions won't work until after the merge is complete
  • The workflow runs automatically whenever Claude is mentioned in PR or issue comments
  • Claude gets access to the entire PR or issue context including files, diffs, and previous comments

Security

  • Our Anthropic API key is securely stored as a GitHub Actions secret
  • Only users with write access to the repository can trigger the workflow
  • All Claude runs are stored in the GitHub Actions run history
  • Claude's default tools are limited to reading/writing files and interacting with our repo by creating comments, branches, and commits.
  • We can add more allowed tools by adding them to the workflow file like:
allowed_tools: Bash(npm install),Bash(npm run build),Bash(npm run lint),Bash(npm run test)

There's more information in the Claude Code action repo.

After merging this PR, let's try mentioning @claude in a comment on any PR to get started!

This is a solid GitHub Actions implementation for Claude Code integration!

Strengths:

  • Clean workflow separation (automated reviews vs interactive responses)
  • Proper security with scoped permissions and secure token usage
  • Well-documented YAML with helpful optional configurations
  • Good conditional execution to prevent unnecessary runs

Suggestions:

  1. Add resource limits (timeout-minutes: 10) to prevent runaway workflows
  2. Include error handling steps for failed Claude responses
  3. Consider concurrency controls to prevent overlapping runs
  4. Add documentation explaining CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN setup and @claude usage

Security: ✅

  • Minimal required permissions
  • No hardcoded secrets
  • Proper token management

Performance: ✅

  • Efficient fetch-depth: 1
  • Smart conditional triggers

The workflows align well with the repository's "Safety First" principles and agent orchestration focus. Recommendation: APPROVE - this will be valuable automation for the team!
