        with:
          continue-api-key: ${{ secrets.CONTINUE_API_KEY }}
          continue-org: "your-org-name"
          continue-config: "your-org-name/review-bot"

Inputs

The action accepts the following inputs:

Setup Requirements

1. Continue API Key

Add your Continue API key as a secret named CONTINUE_API_KEY in your repository:

1. Go to your repository's Settings
2. Navigate to Secrets and variables → Actions
3. Click "New repository secret"
4. Name: CONTINUE_API_KEY
5. Value: Your Continue API key

2. Continue Configuration

Set up your review bot configuration in Continue:

1. Create a configuration for your organization
2. Configure the review bot settings
3. Note your organization name and config path

3. Workflow Permissions

The workflow requires these permissions:

• contents: read - To checkout and read repository code
• pull-requests: write - To post review comments on PRs
• issues: write - To respond to comment triggers

Triggering Reviews

The action can be triggered in two ways:

Automatic Triggers

• When a PR is opened by a team member (OWNER, MEMBER, or COLLABORATOR)
• When a PR is marked as "ready for review" by a team member

Manual Triggers

Team members can trigger reviews by commenting on any pull request:

• @continue-review - Triggers a review

Review Output

The general review provides a structured comment that includes:

• Strengths: What was done well in the PR
• Issues Found: Categorized by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
• Suggestions: Improvement recommendations
• Overall Assessment: Final recommendation (APPROVE, REQUEST_CHANGES, or COMMENT)

How It Works

1. Checks out repository code
2. Fetches PR diff using GitHub CLI
3. Generates a comprehensive review prompt
4. Runs Continue CLI with specified configuration
5. Posts review as a PR comment

Versioning

We recommend using the main branch:

• @main - Uses the latest code from the main branch

Example:

uses: continuedev/continue/actions/general-review@main

Troubleshooting

Review not triggering

• Ensure the PR author or commenter has appropriate permissions (OWNER, MEMBER, or COLLABORATOR)
• Check that the workflow file is in the default branch
• Verify the Continue API key is correctly set as a repository secret

No review output generated

• Check the action logs for any errors
• Verify your Continue configuration is correct
• Ensure your Continue API key is valid
