pr-executor

Run Claude Code non-interactively against GitHub PR bodies. Drop into any Node.js project to build a PR-driven autonomous coding queue.

What it does

• Polls one or more GitHub repos for open PRs
• Runs claude --print --dangerously-skip-permissions with the PR body as the prompt
• Auto-merges on success, closes with error comment on failure
• PRs tagged [needs-review] are skipped and flagged for human review
• 10-minute timeout per PR
• POST /execute-prs endpoint for manual trigger
• GET /execute-prs/status returns last 50 log lines

Usage

npm install

Set environment variables:

GITHUB_TOKEN=your_gh_token
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_key

Add to your Express app:

const { executePRs } = require('./prExecutor');

// Manual trigger
app.post('/execute-prs', async (req, res) => {
  res.json({ status: 'started' });
  await executePRs();
});

// Cron (every hour at :05)
cron.schedule('5 * * * *', () => executePRs());

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• Claude Code installed globally: sudo npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
