AutoPR (github.com/irgolic/AutoPR) is an open-source GitHub Action built by Rafael Irgolic that enables teams to run AI-powered workflows directly over their repositories. Rather than a SaaS product, it is a self-hosted automation engine installed as a GitHub Action and configured via YAML files committed to the repo. Its core concept is turning a static codebase into a living, self-maintaining project. Workflows are YAML orchestrations of actions such as commenting on issues, walking files, running bash commands, making API calls, and generating text with an LLM. These workflows can be triggered by GitHub events (push, issue open, schedule, etc.) or invoked by other workflows. Key documented use cases include generating and continuously updating nested README files that summarize code structure, scanning for TODO/FIXME/HACK annotations and converting them into tracked GitHub issues with AI-generated context, persisting API response histories in git for compliance and debugging, and autonomously generating pull requests in response to filed issues (the original v0.1 use case). The project reached ~1,300 GitHub stars and 83 forks. Its last release (v0.2.0) was published in November 2023, and as of mid-2026 there is no evidence of active maintenance or updates. The documentation site (docs.autopr.com) remains online. The URL autopr.com listed in the entity resolves to an unrelated Brazilian auto-classifieds site (autopr.com.br redirect); the actual project lives at github.com/irgolic/AutoPR and docs.autopr.com. Key features: - YAML-based workflow definitions committed directly to the repository - Living README generation: auto-updates nested code-summary documentation on each push - TODO/FIXME scanner that converts annotations into tracked GitHub issues with AI context - Autonomous pull request generation triggered by filed GitHub issues (original v0.1 feature) - Workflow actions: file walking, bash execution, API calls, LLM text generation, issue commenting - Iterable workflows with list outputs for processing multiple files or items - Self-hosted via GitHub Actions — no external SaaS account required - Git-persisted API response history for debugging and compliance auditing
Free and open-source (MIT/Apache). Self-hosted via GitHub Actions at no cost.
