From GitHub's daily star counts.
Checked on GitHub.
Overview
Shippie runs an agent loop on the flue framework and pi that reads a diff, explores the codebase with developer tools, and posts review comments on issues such as exposed secrets, slow code and unhandled edge cases. It runs as a GitHub Action, locally via `npx shippie review` on staged changes, in GitLab CI, or on Node and Cloudflare. It can also act as an MCP client.
Who it is for: Teams wanting automated AI review on GitHub or GitLab pull requests
Strengths
- Runs as a GitHub Action, GitLab CI job, local CLI, Node server or Cloudflare deployment
- Supports Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter and Cloudflare Workers AI providers
- Acts as an MCP client to reach browser, observability and docs tools
- Reads AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md and Agent Skills; `/shippie review` comment triggers it on demand
Weaknesses
- Requires a hosted provider API key; no local model support is documented
- GitHub Action needs a full checkout (fetch-depth: 0) and PR write permissions
- Local mode reviews only staged changes (git diff --cached)
- Depends on the flue and pi frameworks; development needs Node >= 22.19
What it needs
- no GPU
- Docker
- Needs Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter or Cloudflare Workers AI API key, Node >= 22.19, GitHub Actions or GitLab CI (optional)
- Models: Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Cloudflare Workers AI
