Inputs

Input	Required	Default	Description
`MINIMAX_API_KEY`	Yes	—	Your MiniMax API key
`MINIMAX_MODEL`	No	`MiniMax-M2.5`	MiniMax model to use for review
`MINIMAX_SYSTEM_PROMPT`	No	See below	Custom system prompt for the AI reviewer
`MINIMAX_REVIEWER_NAME`	No	`MiniMax Code Review`	Name shown in the review comment header
`EXCLUDE_PATTERNS`	No	`*.lock,package-lock.json,yarn.lock,pnpm-lock.yaml`	Comma-separated file patterns to exclude from review
`MAX_DIFF_CHARS`	No	`0` (unlimited)	Maximum total characters for the diff sent to the API

The default system prompt is:

You are an expert code reviewer. Review the provided code changes and give clear, actionable feedback.

You can override it to focus on specific concerns, enforce coding standards, or adjust the review tone, e.g.:

You are a security-focused code reviewer. Identify vulnerabilities, unsafe patterns, and authentication issues. Skip style comments.

Configuration

To use this action, you must add your MiniMax API key as a GitHub secret.

1️⃣ Get your MiniMax API key

Generate an API key from your MiniMax dashboard.

2️⃣ Add the API key to your repository

Go to your GitHub repository
Click Settings
Navigate to Secrets and variables → Actions
Click New repository secret and add:
- Name: MINIMAX_API_KEY — Value: your MiniMax API key

Advanced configuration

Instead of using default values for MINIMAX_MODEL, MINIMAX_SYSTEM_PROMPT, and MINIMAX_REVIEWER_NAME, you can override them, and manage them as GitHub Actions variables. This lets you update the model, review prompt, or reviewer name without touching the workflow file.

1️⃣ Add the variables to your repository

Go to your GitHub repository
Click Settings
Navigate to Secrets and variables → Actions
Click the Variables tab
Click New repository variable and add:
- Name: MINIMAX_MODEL — Value: e.g. MiniMax-M2.5
- Name: MINIMAX_SYSTEM_PROMPT — Value: your custom system prompt
- Name: MINIMAX_REVIEWER_NAME — Value: e.g. AI Code Review

2️⃣ Reference them in your workflow
