Using Amazon Q Developer for GitHub

Amazon Q Developer1 is an AI-powered assistant that integrates directly into your GitHub workflow, enhancing your development process with intelligent features for code development, review, and transformation.

Slash Commands

Command Description
/q <message> Chat with the agent to ask questions or request revisions
/q review Requests an Amazon Q powered code review
/q help Displays usage information

Features

Agentic Chat
Enables interactive conversation with Amazon Q to ask questions about the pull request or request specific revisions. Use /q <message> in comment threads or the review body to engage with the agent directly.

Code Review
Analyzes pull requests for code quality, potential issues, and security concerns. Provides feedback and suggested fixes. Automatically triggered on new or reopened PRs (can be disabled for AWS registered installations), or manually with /q review slash command in a comment.

Customization

You can create project-specific rules for Amazon Q Developer to follow:

  1. Create a .amazonq/rules folder in your project root.
  2. Add Markdown files in this folder to define rules (e.g., cdk-rules.md).
  3. Write detailed prompts in these files, such as coding standards or best practices.
  4. Amazon Q Developer will automatically use these rules when generating code or providing assistance.

Example rule:

All Amazon S3 buckets must have encryption enabled, enforce SSL, and block public access.
All Amazon DynamoDB Streams tables must have encryption enabled.
All Amazon SNS topics must have encryption enabled and enforce SSL.
All Amazon SNS queues must enforce SSL.

This PR makes significant changes to the GitHub Actions workflows that raise several security and operational concerns:

  1. Removing explicit permissions from the CI workflow violates the principle of least privilege
  2. Changing from pull_request_target to pull_request in the auto-merge workflow introduces potential security risks
  3. Removing the Dependabot-specific actor check reduces the security of the auto-merge process
  4. Removal of monitoring capabilities (Slack notifications) may impact operational visibility

Please address the security concerns before proceeding with these changes. The original workflow configurations had important security controls that should be preserved.

🛑 Security Risk: Removing the permissions block from the CI workflow removes the principle of least privilege. GitHub Actions workflows should explicitly define minimum required permissions1.

Consider keeping the workflow name as 'dependabot-auto-merge' since it more specifically describes its primary purpose of handling Dependabot PRs.

🛑 Security Risk: Changing from pull_request_target to pull_request for Dependabot automation could expose secrets to malicious code in PRs1. The pull_request_target event is specifically designed for secure handling of external contributions.

The condition github.actor == 'dependabot[bot]' was a crucial security check that should be retained to ensure only Dependabot PRs are auto-merged.

Consider retaining the Slack notification for failed auto-merges as it provides valuable monitoring capabilities for the automation process.
