Claude Code GitHub Actions User Guide

Claude Code is an Agentic Coding tool launched by Anthropic, also known as one of the world’s strongest programming agents. Claude Code GitHub Actions can integrate AI programming capabilities into your GitHub workflow; simply @claude in a PR or Issue, and Claude will automatically analyze the code, create PRs, implement features, and fix bugs. This document mainly introduces how to configure and use Claude Code GitHub Actions through AceData Cloud’s proxy service.

Application Process

To use Claude Messages service page, first open the Ace Data Cloud Console and copy your API Token.

If you are not logged in, you will be redirected to sign in and brought back to this page automatically. A single API Token works across every service on the platform — no need to subscribe per service. New accounts receive free starter credit; when it runs low you can top up your shared balance in the console.

Features

Instant PR Creation: Describe your needs, and Claude will automatically create a complete Pull Request.
Automatic Code Implementation: In an Issue, @claude will turn the Issue into runnable code.
Adherence to Project Standards: Automatically reads CLAUDE.md to follow your coding style and project standards.
Safe and Reliable: Code runs on GitHub’s Runner, ensuring data security.

Configuration Steps

Step One: Install Claude GitHub App

Go to https://github.com/apps/claude to install the Claude GitHub App to your repository. GitHub Claude App Installation Page

This App requires the following repository permissions:

Permission	Level	Description
Contents	Read & Write	Modify repository files
Issues	Read & Write	Respond to Issues
Pull requests	Read & Write	Create PRs and push changes

Step Two: Add API Key

Add the AceData Cloud API key as a repository Secret:

Go to the repository Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
Click New repository secret
Name it ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, and enter the API token you obtained from AceData Cloud in the Value field.
Click Add secret to save.

Tip: The API token can be viewed in the AceData Cloud Console.

Step Three: Create Workflow File

Create a .github/workflows/claude.yml file in the repository:

name: Claude Code
on:
  issue_comment:
    types: [created]
  pull_request_review_comment:
    types: [created]
  issues:
    types: [opened, assigned]
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize]

jobs:
  claude:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@v1
        with:
          anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}

If you need to use AceData Cloud’s proxy API endpoint, you also need to set environment variables in the Workflow:

name: Claude Code
on:
  issue_comment:
    types: [created]
  pull_request_review_comment:
    types: [created]

jobs:
  claude:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@v1
        with:
          anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
        env:
          ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL: "https://api.acedata.cloud"

Usage

Using in Issue or PR Comments

After configuration, in any Issue or PR comment, @claude, and Claude will automatically respond:

@claude Implement the functionality based on the description of this Issue
@claude Review the code safety of this PR
@claude Fix the TypeError in the user dashboard component
@claude How should user authentication for this endpoint be implemented?

Automatic Code Review

Create a Workflow that automatically performs code reviews when a PR is opened:

name: Code Review
on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize]

jobs:
  review:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@v1
        with:
          anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
          prompt: "/review"
          claude_args: "--max-turns 5"
        env:
          ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL: "https://api.acedata.cloud"

Scheduled Task Automation

Create an automated task that runs on a schedule:

name: Daily Report
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 9 * * *"

jobs:
  report:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@v1
        with:
          anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
          prompt: "Generate a summary of yesterday's commits and a report of unresolved Issues"
        env:
          ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL: "https://api.acedata.cloud"

Action Parameter Description

Parameter	Description	Required
`anthropic_api_key`	API key	Yes
`prompt`	Instructions for Claude (text or Skill like `/review`)	No
`claude_args`	Parameters passed to Claude Code CLI	No
`github_token`	GitHub Token	No
`trigger_phrase`	Custom trigger phrase (default `@claude`)	No

Common `claude_args` Parameters

claude_args: "--max-turns 5 --model claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929"

Parameter	Description
`--max-turns`	Maximum dialogue turns (default 10)
`--model`	Model to use
`--mcp-config`	Path to MCP configuration file
`--allowed-tools`	Allowed tools (comma-separated)
`--debug`	Enable debug output

Best Practices

Configure CLAUDE.md

Create a CLAUDE.md file in the root directory of the repository to define coding style guidelines, review standards, and project specifications; Claude will automatically follow these rules.

Security Considerations

Never write API keys directly in Workflow files.
Always use GitHub Secrets (e.g., ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}).
Limit Action permissions to the minimum necessary scope.
Manually review Claude’s suggestions before merging.

Cost Control

Use explicit @claude commands to reduce unnecessary API calls.
Set reasonable --max-turns limits on dialogue turns.
Set timeout limits at the Workflow level.
Use GitHub’s concurrency control to limit the number of parallel runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Claude not responding to the @claude command?

Confirm that the Claude GitHub App is correctly installed.
Check if the Workflow is enabled.
Ensure the API key is set as a repository Secret.
Make sure to use @claude in the comment (not /claude).

Authentication Error?

Confirm that the API key is valid and has sufficient permissions.
Check if the Secret name is correct (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY).
If using ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, confirm that the URL is correct.
