Overview

Claude Code Action is a general-purpose GitHub action for pull requests and issues. It can answer questions and implement code changes, activating based on workflow context such as @claude mentions, issue assignments, or explicit automation prompts. It supports Anthropic direct API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry authentication.
