## Usage

### Basic Example

Issue triage with iFLOW CLI:

```yaml
name: '🏷️ iFLOW CLI Automated Issue Triage'

on:
  issues:
    types:
      - 'opened'
      - 'reopened'
  issue_comment:
    types:
      - 'created'
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      issue_number:
        description: 'issue number to triage'
        required: true
        type: 'number'

concurrency:
  group: '${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.event.issue.number }}'
  cancel-in-progress: true

defaults:
  run:
    shell: 'bash'

permissions:
  contents: 'read'
  issues: 'write'
  statuses: 'write'

jobs:
  triage-issue:
    if: |-
      github.event_name == 'issues' ||
      github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' ||
      (
        github.event_name == 'issue_comment' &&
        contains(github.event.comment.body, '@iflow-cli /triage') &&
        contains(fromJSON('["OWNER", "MEMBER", "COLLABORATOR"]'), github.event.comment.author_association)
      )
    runs-on: 'ubuntu-latest'
    steps:
      - name: Checkout repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

- name: 'Run iFlow CLI Issue Triage'
        uses: iflow-ai/iflow-cli-action@v2.0.0
        id: 'iflow_cli_issue_triage'
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: '${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}'
          ISSUE_TITLE: '${{ github.event.issue.title }}'
          ISSUE_BODY: '${{ github.event.issue.body }}'
          ISSUE_NUMBER: '${{ github.event.issue.number }}'
          REPOSITORY: '${{ github.repository }}'
        with:
          api_key: ${{ secrets.IFLOW_API_KEY }}
          timeout: "3600"
          debug: "true"
          prompt: |
            ## Role

You are an issue triage assistant. Analyze the current GitHub issue
            and apply the most appropriate existing labels. Use the available
            tools to gather information; do not ask for information to be
            provided.

## Steps

1. Run: `gh label list` to get all available labels.
            2. Review the issue title and body provided in the environment
               variables: "${ISSUE_TITLE}" and "${ISSUE_BODY}".
            3. Classify issues by their kind (bug, enhancement, documentation,
               cleanup, etc) and their priority (p0, p1, p2, p3). Set the
               labels according to the format `kind/*` and `priority/*` patterns.
            4. Apply the selected labels to this issue using:
               `gh issue edit "${ISSUE_NUMBER}" --add-label "label1,label2"`
            5. If the "status/needs-triage" label is present, remove it using:
               `gh issue edit "${ISSUE_NUMBER}" --remove-label "status/needs-triage"`

## Guidelines

- Only use labels that already exist in the repository
            - Do not add comments or modify the issue content
            - Triage only the current issue
            - Assign all applicable labels based on the issue content
            - Reference all shell variables as "${VAR}" (with quotes and braces)

- name: 'Post Issue Triage Failure Comment'
        if: |-
          ${{ failure() && steps.iflow_cli_issue_triage.outcome == 'failure' }}
        uses: 'actions/github-script@60a0d83039c74a4aee543508d2ffcb1c3799cdea'
        with:
          github-token: '${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}'
          script: |-
            github.rest.issues.createComment({
              owner: '${{ github.repository }}'.split('/')[0],
              repo: '${{ github.repository }}'.split('/')[1],
              issue_number: '${{ github.event.issue.number }}',
              body: 'There is a problem with the iFlow CLI issue triaging. Please check the [action logs](${{ github.server_url }}/${{ github.repository }}/actions/runs/${{ github.run_id }}) for details.'
            })
```

## Outputs

| Output | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `result` | Output from iFlow CLI execution |
| `exit_code` | Exit code from iFlow CLI execution |

## Authentication

### Getting an iFlow API Key

1. Register for an iFlow account at [iflow.cn](https://iflow.cn)
2. Go to your profile settings or [click here to get your API key](https://iflow.cn/?open=setting)
3. Click "Reset" in the pop-up dialog to generate a new API key
4. Add the API key to your GitHub repository secrets as `IFLOW_API_KEY`

### Available Models

[Models](https://platform.iflow.cn/models)

- `qwen3-coder-plus` (default) - Excellent for code analysis and generation
- `kimi-k2-0905` - Good for general AI tasks and longer contexts
- `glm-4.6` - Advanced reasoning and problem-solving
- Custom models supported via OpenAI-compatible APIs

## Custom Configuration

### Using Pre-Execution Commands

The `precmd` input allows you to run shell commands before executing the iFlow CLI. This is useful for setting up the environment or installing dependencies needed for your iFlow commands.

```yaml
- name: iFlow with Pre-Execution Commands
  uses: iflow-ai/iflow-cli-action@v2.0.0
  with:
    prompt: "Analyze this codebase after installing dependencies"
    api_key: ${{ secrets.IFLOW_API_KEY }}
    precmd: |
      npm install
      git fetch origin main
```

#### Multi-line Commands

You can specify multiple commands by separating them with newlines:

```yaml
precmd: |
  npm ci
  npm run build
```

### Using Custom Settings

For advanced users who need complete control over the iFlow configuration, you can provide a custom `settings.json` directly:

```yaml
- name: Custom iFlow Configuration
  uses: iflow-ai/iflow-cli-action@v2.0.0
  with:
    prompt: "Analyze this codebase with custom configuration"
    api_key: ${{ secrets.IFLOW_API_KEY }}  # Still required for basic validation
    settings_json: |
      {
        "theme": "Dark",
        "selectedAuthType": "iflow",
        "apiKey": "${{ secrets.IFLOW_API_KEY }}",
        "baseUrl": "https://custom-api.example.com/v1",
        "modelName": "custom-model",
        "searchApiKey": "${{ secrets.SEARCH_API_KEY }}",
        "customField": "customValue"
      }
```

When `settings_json` is provided, it takes precedence over individual configuration inputs (`base_url`, `model`, etc.). This allows you to:

- Use custom authentication types
- Configure additional fields not available as inputs
- Maintain complex configurations across multiple workflow runs
- Support custom API endpoints and models

**Note:** The `api_key` input is still required for validation, but the actual API key used will be the one specified in your `settings_json`.

### Using Custom Tool Versions

You can specify custom versions of GitHub CLI and iFlow CLI to use in your workflow:

```yaml
- name: iFlow CLI with Custom Versions
  uses: iflow-ai/iflow-cli-action@v2.0.0
  with:
    prompt: "Analyze this codebase with specific tool versions"
    api_key: ${{ secrets.IFLOW_API_KEY }}
    gh_version: "2.76.2"
    iflow_version: "0.2.4"
```

This is useful when you need to ensure compatibility with specific versions of these tools or when you want to use features available only in certain versions.

### Using MCP Servers

[MCP (Model Context Protocol)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) allows iFlow CLI to connect to external tools and services, extending its capabilities beyond just AI model interactions. You can configure MCP servers in your workflow to enable features like code search, database querying, or custom tool integrations.

### Example: Using DeepWiki MCP Server

The following example demonstrates how to configure and use the DeepWiki MCP server for enhanced code search capabilities:

```yaml
- name: iFlow CLI with MCP Server
  uses: iflow-ai/iflow-cli-action@v2.0.0
  with:
    prompt: "use @deepwiki to search how to use Skynet to build a game"
    api_key: ${{ secrets.IFLOW_API_KEY }}
    settings_json: |
      {
        "selectedAuthType": "iflow",
        "apiKey": "${{ secrets.IFLOW_API_KEY }}",
        "baseUrl": "https://apis.iflow.cn/v1",
        "modelName": "qwen3-coder-plus",
        "searchApiKey": "${{ secrets.IFLOW_API_KEY }}",
        "mcpServers": {
          "deepwiki": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": ["-y", "mcp-deepwiki@latest"]
          }
        }
      }
    model: "qwen3-coder-plus"
    timeout: "1800"
    debug: "true"
```

In this example:

- The `mcpServers` configuration defines a server named `deepwiki`
- The server is executed using `npx -y mcp-deepwiki@latest`
- The prompt references the server with `@deepwiki` to utilize its capabilities

### When to Use MCP Servers

MCP servers are particularly useful when you need:

- Enhanced code search and documentation lookup capabilities
- Integration with external tools and services
- Access to specialized knowledge bases or databases
- Custom tooling that extends the iFlow CLI functionality

## Common Use Cases

For detailed examples of these use cases, please refer to the workflow files in the [examples](examples) directory.

### Code Analysis and Review

For code review workflows, see:

- [Code Review on Pull Requests](examples/code-review.yml) - Automatically reviews PRs when opened/reopened or when triggered by comment
- [PR Review Killer](examples/pr-review-killer.yml) - Implements changes to PRs based on comments

### Documentation Generation

For documentation generation workflows, see:

- [Documentation Generation](examples/documentation.yml) - Automatically generates technical documentation from codebase

### Automated Testing Suggestions

Automated testing suggestions can be implemented similar to the code review pattern. See the [code review example](examples/code-review.yml) for a template that can be adapted for testing suggestions by modifying the prompt.

### Issue Management

For issue management workflows, see:

- [Issue Killer](examples/issue-killer.yml) - Automatically implements features based on GitHub issues
- [Issue Triage](examples/issue-triage.yaml) - Automatically labels new GitHub issues
- [Issue Killer](examples/issue-killer.yml) - Implements features based on GitHub issues

### Architecture Analysis

Architecture analysis can be performed using the iFlow CLI Action with custom prompts. See the [documentation example](examples/documentation.yml) for a template that can be adapted for architecture analysis by modifying the prompt.

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Command timeout:** Increase the `timeout` value for complex operations

```yaml
timeout: "900"  # 15 minutes
```

**API authentication failed:** Verify your API key is correctly set in repository secrets

**Working directory not found:** Ensure the path exists and checkout action is used

### Debug Mode

Enable verbose logging by setting environment variables:

```yaml
env:
  ACTIONS_STEP_DEBUG: true
```
