Action Summary

PRSense is a GitHub Action designed to streamline engineering workflows by leveraging organizational knowledge graphs and cross-repository intelligence. It automates tasks such as preventing duplicate engineering work, assessing developer expertise, and triaging high-risk code changes, enabling teams to optimize efficiency and reduce redundancy. Key capabilities include semantic search, risk scoring, duplicate detection across repositories, and auto-generated insights for pull requests and organizational knowledge management.

What’s Changed

PRSense . Following our vision to become the ultimate “Repository Memory Infrastructure,” version 2.0.0 transforms the library into a truly provider-agnostic infrastructure layer.

🔥 Major Highlights

  • Full GitLab & Bitbucket Integration: We’ve expanded far beyond GitHub. PRSense now natively supports webhooks, MR/PR extraction, and automated pull request commenting across GitLab and Bitbucket infrastructures.
  • Cross-Repo Detection: You can now detect duplicate PRs and overlapping work across an entire organization’s repositories simultaneously.
  • Advanced Notification Engine: Real-time notification dispatching to Slack and Discord for high-risk or duplicate PRs.

🛠 Core Additions

  • GitLab & Bitbucket Providers: Full support for fetching PRs/MRs and posting comments via GitLab REST API v4 and Bitbucket Cloud API v2.
  • Cross-Repo Radar: Organization-wide duplicate detection using DJB2 hash-based namespacing.
  • Zero-Click Descriptions Engine: Upgraded the internal DescriptionGenerator to intelligently rely on Ollama/OpenAI for self-writing PR metadata directly on your Git provider.
  • Performance Optimized Graphs: RAG knowledge graph duplicate edge detection upgraded from O(n) array lookups to O(1) Map indexing for instant response times.
  • Enhanced Duplicate Candidates: findCandidates() now uses both text and diff embeddings concurrently for more accurate candidate retrieval.

🧹 Changes & Fixes

  • ESM Startup: Fixed require() runtime crashes in the self-hosted Express server.
  • Type Safety: Moved files natively into the PRMetadata interface, removing fragile module augmentation hacks.
  • Build: Excluded the action/ folder from the main TypeScript build to keep the npm footprint small.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

  • Minimum Node.js: Remains >=18.0.0, but Node v20+ is now strictly recommended for native fetch() support used by the new GitLab/Bitbucket provider services.
