Introduction

PR-Agent is an open-source, AI-powered code review agent. Its README calls it a community-maintained legacy project of Qodo, distinct from Qodo’s primary AI code review offering: Qodo donated PR-Agent to the open-source community, and the repository now lives under The-PR-Agent organisation.

Commands such as /describe, /review, /improve and /ask generate pull request descriptions, review feedback, code suggestions and answers. It runs as a GitHub Action, a CLI, webhooks or a Docker container (images now under pragent/pr-agent), works with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps, and uses the LLM provider you configure.

In the quality loop it gives self-hosted AI review at the pull request gate.

The source code is at The-PR-Agent/pr-agent on GitHub under the MIT licence, with about 15,900 stars; the most recent commit was on 11 November 2026.
