Automated GitLab MR Review & Risk Assessment with AI
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your code review process with this AI-powered n8n workflow. Automatically analyze GitLab Merge Requests for potential risks and generate insightful reviews, ensuring higher code quality and faster development cycles.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow revolutionizes your GitLab Merge Request (MR) process by integrating AI for automated review and risk assessment. Upon MR creation, it fetches the code diff and leverages an AI agent (specifically Claude 3.5 Haiku) to analyze the changes. The AI identifies potential risks, provides a concise summary, and generates actionable recommendations with relevant code snippets. The workflow also intelligently routes notifications to the appropriate development and QA teams based on the project, and ensures the author of the commit receives feedback. This significantly reduces manual review effort, catches issues early, and promotes a more robust development lifecycle.
Key Features
- AI-Powered Code Analysis: Utilizes advanced AI models to assess code changes for risks and quality.
- Automated Risk Scoring: Assigns a risk level (High/Medium/Low) to each MR.
- Intelligent Notification Routing: Dynamically sends review summaries and recommendations to project-specific development and QA teams.
- Actionable Recommendations: Provides specific, context-aware suggestions with code snippets in HTML format.
- GitLab Integration: Seamlessly works with GitLab merge requests to trigger automated reviews.
How To Use
- Configure GitLab Webhook: Set up a webhook in your GitLab project to trigger this n8n workflow on new merge requests.
- Set Up GitLab API Credentials: In the 'Extract Diff' node, replace the placeholder
glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxwith your actual GitLab Personal Access Token. - Configure AI Agent: In the 'AI Agent' node, ensure your OpenAI or compatible API key is set up and select your desired AI model (e.g.,
claude-3-5-haiku-20241022). Adjustmax_tokensandtemperatureas needed. - Customize Distribution Lists: Modify the
ProjectLeadsobject in the 'Distribution List Generator' node with your project names and corresponding developer/QA email addresses. TheGlobalListwill be appended to all notifications. - Refine Email Sender: Update the
oldEmailandnewEmailvariables in the 'Distribution List Generator' node if you need to standardize the sender's email address. - Activate and Monitor: Enable the workflow in n8n and monitor the execution logs for successful automated reviews and notifications.
