GitHub Comment Commands

MyCoder provides automated actions in response to /mycoder commands in GitHub issue comments. This feature allows you to trigger MyCoder directly from GitHub issues with flexible prompts.

How to Use

Simply add a comment to any GitHub issue with /mycoder followed by your instructions:

/mycoder [your instructions here]

MyCoder will process your instructions in the context of the issue and respond accordingly.

Examples

Creating a PR

/mycoder implement a PR for this issue

MyCoder will:

Check out the repository
Review the issue details
Implement a solution according to the requirements
Create a pull request that addresses the issue

Creating an Implementation Plan

/mycoder create an implementation plan for this issue

MyCoder will:

Review the issue details
Create a comprehensive implementation plan
Post the plan as a comment on the issue

Other Use Cases

The /mycoder command is flexible and can handle various requests:

/mycoder suggest test cases for this feature

/mycoder analyze the performance implications of this change

/mycoder recommend libraries we could use for this implementation

How It Works

This functionality is implemented as a GitHub Action that runs whenever a new comment is added to an issue. The action checks for the /mycoder command pattern and triggers MyCoder with the appropriate instructions.

MyCoder receives context about:

The issue number
The specific prompt you provided
The comment URL where the command was triggered

If MyCoder creates a PR or takes actions outside the scope of the issue, it will report back to the issue with a comment explaining what was done.

Requirements

For this feature to work in your repository:

The GitHub Action workflow must be present in your repository
You need to configure the necessary API keys as GitHub secrets:
- GITHUB_TOKEN (automatically provided)
- ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (depending on your preferred model)

Limitations

The action runs with GitHub's default timeout limits
Complex implementations may require multiple iterations
The AI model's capabilities determine the quality of the results
