AI-Agent Code Review for GitHub Pull Requests
Description:
This n8n workflow automates the process of reviewing code changes in GitHub pull requests using an OpenAI-powered agent.
It connects your GitHub repo, extracts modified files, analyzes diffs, and uses an AI agent to generate a code review based on your internal code best practices (fed from a Google Sheet).
It ends by posting the review as a comment on the PR and tagging it with a visual label like ✅ Reviewed by AI.
🔧 What It Does
Triggered on PR creation
Extracts code diffs from the PR
Formats and feeds them into an OpenAI prompt
Enriches the prompt using a Google Sheet of Swift best practices
Posts an AI-generated review as a comment on the PR
Applies a PR label to visually mark reviewed PRs
✅ Prerequisites
Before deploying this workflow, ensure you have the following:
- n8n Instance (Self-hosted or Cloud)
- GitHub Repository with PR activity
- OpenAI API Key for GPT-4o, GPT-4-turbo, or GPT-3.5
- GitHub OAuth App (or PAT) connected to n8n to post comments and access PR diffs
- (Optional) Google Sheets API credentials if using the code best practices lookup node.
⚙️ Setup Instructions

Uses GitHub API to post review comments back on PR Node: GitHub Robot Credential: Use the agent Github account (OAuth or PAT) Repo : Pick your owen Github Repository
🏷️ PR Labeler (optional)
Adds label ReviewedByAI after successful comment
Node: Add Label to PR Label : you ca customize the label text of your owen tag.
📊 Google Sheet Best Practices config (optional)
Connects to a Google Sheet for coding guideline lookups, we can replace Google sheet by another tool or data base
- First prepare your best practices list with the clear description and the code bad/good examples
- Add al the best practices in your Google Sheet
- Configure the Code Best Practices node in the template :
