Auto-Fix Mode

Auto-fix allows Cortex Code to directly commit fixes to the PR branch.

Enable auto-fix

- uses: anthu/cortex-code-action@v0.1.0
  with:
    mode: "fix"
    permissions: "read-write"
    # ...connection params...

Also requires write permission on contents:

permissions:
  contents: write
  pull-requests: write

What gets fixed

The agent only fixes clear, unambiguous issues:

• Obvious bugs or logic errors
• Style/formatting issues (if a linter config exists in the repo)
• Missing null checks or error handling
• Typos in code or comments

It does not speculatively refactor or restructure code.

Commit attribution

Auto-fix commits are attributed to cortex-code-action[bot].

Combining review and fix

To review on every PR but only auto-fix when explicitly requested:

# Review on every PR
on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize]

# Fix only when @cortex fix is mentioned
  issue_comment:
    types: [created]

# Use mode: auto -- it detects review vs mention from the event
mode: "auto"
permissions: "read-write"

Security note

Even in read-write mode, SQL execution and sensitive file reads remain permanently blocked. The agent can only modify repository code files.
