Aptu is a command-line tool that uses AI to help manage GitHub repositories. It can automatically triage issues, review pull requests, suggest labels, and scan for security problems. It is designed to be fast and cheap by using small, efficient AI models.
Aptu (AI-Powered Triage Utility) is an open-source CLI and GitHub Action that automates common GitHub workflows using AI. It focuses on context engineering: instead of relying on large, expensive models, it crafts precise prompts that allow smaller models to achieve high accuracy with fewer tokens. This results in significantly lower cost and latency compared to raw API calls to large models like Claude Opus. Key capabilities include: - **Issue Triage**: Automatically summarizes issues, suggests labels, asks clarifying questions, and provides guidance to contributors. - **Issue Discovery**: Finds good-first-issues from curated repositories. - **PR Analysis**: Reviews pull requests, provides feedback, and can even create PRs from diffs. - **Security Scanning**: Built-in local security pattern detection for PR reviews; no code is sent externally. - **GitHub Action**: Auto-triage incoming issues with labels and comments. - **Multiple AI Providers**: Supports Anthropic, Cerebras, Gemini, Groq, OpenRouter (default), Z.AI, and ZenMux. - **Customizable Prompts**: Override system prompts per operation or append custom guidance. - **Observability**: Outputs context and token usage metrics for debugging. - **Multiple Output Formats**: Text, JSON, YAML, Markdown, and SARIF. Aptu is written in Rust and is available via Homebrew, Cargo, or as a GitHub Action. It is licensed under Apache-2.0 and follows best practices for security (SLSA Level 3, OpenSSF Best Practices).

AI-powered GitHub automation for issue triage, PR review, labeling, and security scanning.
Open-source maintainers who want to reduce manual issue and PR management., DevOps engineers automating GitHub workflows with AI assistance., Developers contributing to multiple repositories who need quick issue triage.
The setup section provides repository-level starting guidance, not a guarantee of an independently verified installation. Check the official README and release notes.
The tool sends issue and PR content to configured AI providers (e.g., OpenRouter, Anthropic). Review provider privacy policies. Security scanning is performed locally; no code is sent externally for that feature.
Similar or complementary options to evaluate include Agent-CI, action-suggester, github-comment.
