GitHub Actions quickstart

Add Oz agents to your GitHub Actions workflows with oz-agent-action. This quickstart walks you through setting up your first GitHub Actions integration: a PR review workflow that automatically analyzes pull requests and posts inline review comments.

---

Prerequisites

• Warp API key - In the Warp app, click your profile photo, then go to Settings > Cloud platform > Oz Cloud API Keys to create one. Use a personal key if the agent needs to write to your repo. See API Keys for details.
• A GitHub repository with Actions enabled - The workflow file will live in .github/workflows/ in your repo.

---

1. Add your API key as a GitHub Actions secret

Store your Warp API key as a GitHub Actions secret so workflows can authenticate without exposing the key in your code.

1. In your repository on GitHub, go to Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions.
2. Click New repository secret.
3. Set the name to WARP_API_KEY.
4. Paste your API key into the Secret field.
5. Click Add secret.

2. Create the workflow file

This workflow triggers an Oz agent whenever a PR is opened or marked ready for review. The agent reviews the diff and posts inline comments.

Create .github/workflows/oz-pr-review.yml in your repository with the following content:

name: Oz PR review

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, ready_for_review]

permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write

jobs:
  review:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Review PR with Oz
        uses: warpdotdev/oz-agent-action@v1
        with:
          prompt: |
            Review the code changes on this pull request:
            1. Use `git diff origin/${{ github.base_ref }}...HEAD` to identify changes.
            2. Analyze the diff for style, security, or correctness issues.
            3. Use `gh pr review --comment` to post inline suggestions.
          warp_api_key: ${{ secrets.WARP_API_KEY }}

This workflow listens for pull request events and runs the oz-agent-action step, which executes the prompt to review code changes. Commit and push this file to your default branch to activate the workflow.

3. Open a pull request

Create a new pull request in your repository to trigger the workflow.

To verify the workflow ran:

1. Go to the Actions tab in your repository.
2. Click Oz PR review in the list of workflows.
3. Select the most recent run to see the agent’s output in the job logs.

4. View the run

Each oz-agent-action step creates a cloud agent run you can inspect from the Oz dashboard:

• Oz web app - Go to oz.warp.dev/runs to see the full run transcript: status, commands executed, files changed, and agent output. See Viewing Cloud Agent Runs for a complete walkthrough.
• Warp app - Open the conversations panel to see the run alongside your other agent activity.

When the run completes, the agent posts feedback as inline review comments on the PR.

Breaking it down: The agent runs in Warp’s cloud infrastructure — not on GitHub’s runners — using the workflow’s GitHub token for repository access. Each run is isolated, tracked, and auditable, just like any manually triggered cloud agent run.

Next steps

• Explore more workflow patterns - The oz-agent-action repository includes ready-to-use consumer workflow templates for responding to @oz-agent comments, auto-fixing labeled issues, daily issue summaries, fixing failing CI checks, and suggesting review fixes. Copy any template from consumer-workflows/ into .github/workflows/ in your repo.
• Use skills for reusable behavior - Replace the inline prompt with a skill parameter to apply consistent, version-controlled instructions across all your CI workflows. See Skills.
• Read the full reference - GitHub Actions covers all action inputs, output handling, session sharing for debugging, and troubleshooting.
