GitHub Action for running AI agents via Pullfrog to automate development workflows
What is Pullfrog?
Pullfrog is a GitHub bot that brings the full power of your favorite coding agents into GitHub. It's open source and powered by GitHub Actions.
Once configured, you can start triggering agent runs.
Tag @pullfrog — Tag @pullfrog in a comment anywhere in your repo. It will pull in any relevant context using the action's internal MCP server and perform the appropriate task.
Prompt from the web — Trigger arbitrary tasks from the Pullfrog dashboard
Automated triggers — Configure Pullfrog to trigger agent runs in response to specific events. Each of these triggers can be associated with custom prompt instructions.
issue created
issue labeled
PR created
PR review created
PR review requested
and more...
Pullfrog is the bridge between GitHub and your preferred coding agents and GitHub. Use it for:
🤖 Coding tasks — Tell @pullfrog to implement something and it'll spin up a PR. If CI fails, it'll read the logs and attempt a fix automatically. It'll automatically address any PR reviews too.
🔍 PR review — Coding agents are great at reviewing PRs. Using the "PR created" trigger, you can configure Pullfrog to auto-review new PRs.
🤙 Auto-respond to issues — Via the "issue created" trigger, Pullfrog can automatically respond to common questions, create implementation plans, and link to related issues/PRs. Or (if you're feeling lucky) you can prompt it to immediately attempt a PR addressing new issues.
Literally whatever — Want to have the agent automatically add docs to all new PRs? Cut a new release with agent-written notes on every commit to main? Pullfrog lets you do it.
Get started
Install the Pullfrog GitHub App on your personal or organization account. During installation you can choose to limit access to a specific repo or repos. After installation, you'll be redirected to the Pullfrog dashboard where you'll see an onboarding flow. This flow will create your pullfrog.yml workflow and prompt you to set up API keys. Once you finish those steps (2 minutes) you're ready to rock 🐸
You can also use the pullfrog/action Action without a GitHub App installation. This is more time-consuming to set up, and it places limitations on the actions your Agent will be capable of performing.
To manually set up the Pullfrog action, you need to set up two workflow files in your repository: pullfrog.yml (the execution logic) and triggers.yml (the event triggers).
1. Create pullfrog.yml
Create a file at .github/workflows/pullfrog.yml. This is a reusable workflow that runs the Pullfrog action.

2. Create triggers.yml
Create a file at .github/workflows/triggers.yml. This workflow listens for GitHub events and calls the pullfrog.yml workflow with the event data.
