TL;DR

GoModel PRs carry no size signal today, so reviewers cannot tell a 5-line fix from a 2k-line refactor at a glance. Ports the t3code size-label workflow unchanged, swapping the test-path excludes for Go. Each open or updated PR gets a size:XS … size:XXL band based on the git diff --numstat effective line count, with Go test files excluded from mixed PRs.

Files to review (1, +291):

File Why
.github/workflows/pr-size.yml (new, start here) pull_request_target workflow that diffs against the PR base SHA, sums numstat lines, applies the band.

How

  • Trigger: pull_request_target on opened / reopened / synchronize / ready_for_review / converted_to_draft. Concurrency pr-size-${{ pr.number }} cancels in-flight runs on new pushes.
  • Two of three jobs run for the trigger; sync-label-definitions is gated on event_name != 'pull_request_target' so it stays dormant until a push / workflow_dispatch trigger is added. Kept for parity with t3code.
  • The label job checks out the base repo with fetch-depth: 0, fetches the PR head as refs/remotes/pr-size/<n>, and runs git diff --numstat --ignore-all-space --ignore-blank-lines <base>...<head> twice — once total, once with the test excludes — to compute non-test and test lines separately.
  • Go test paths excluded: **/test/**, **/tests/** (covers tests/e2e|integration|perf|stress|contract/), **/testdata/**, **/*_test.go. A PR with zero non-test lines is sized by its test line count; a PR with any non-test lines is sized by the non-test count alone.
  • Tier thresholds: XS < 10, S < 30, M < 100, L < 500, XL < 1000, XXL ≥ 1000. Stale size:* labels on the PR are removed before the new one is applied.
  • pull_request_target runs against the base repo so a fork PR cannot exfiltrate the GITHUB_TOKEN. The job does no npm install, no build, no test — only git fetch and git diff on passive ref data.

Reviewer notes

  • Permissions are minimal. contents: read everywhere; issues: write only on the dormant sync job; pull-requests: write on the label job. No write-all, no actions: write.
  • No fork-PR code execution. The label job diffs only git data fetched from the base repo's origin remote. No PR head checkout, no script on the PR ref.
  • The label set is created on first use. A first open PR creates the size:XS–size:XXL labels with the colors and descriptions from prepare-config. Update the JSON there to retune.
  • No upstream changelog impact. This adds one workflow file, no source changes, no release notes needed.

Tests

node -e "new Function(...)" confirms the three embedded github-script bodies parse. actionlint is not installed in this environment; the YAML is the file straight from t3code with only the test-path array rewritten, so the structure is known-good.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Pull requests are automatically assigned a size label from XS to XXL based on effective changed lines. Test-only changes determine the label when there are no non-test changes.
    • The six size ranges span 0–9 lines (XS) to 1,000 or more (XXL). Whitespace-only and blank-line changes are excluded.
    • Missing size labels are created automatically, and existing labels are updated to match configured colors and descriptions. Other managed size labels are removed when a new size label is applied.

📝 Walkthrough

Adds a GitHub Actions workflow that maintains six PR-size labels and assigns one based on changed-line counts. It excludes test paths when non-test changes exist, uses test lines for test-only changes, and logs the counts and selected label.

@greptile @coderabbitai — addressed the review findings in commit 218733a3d and force-pushed to the same branch. Summary:

Fixed

  • @greptile "Target changes leave stale labels" → added edited to the pull_request_target types list.
  • @greptile "Test helpers inflate size labels" → added **/echotest/**, **/encryptiontest/**, **/mongotest/**, **/providertest/**, **/sqlxtest/**, **/testconventions/** to the exclude pathspecs. Verified each path exists in the repo.
  • @greptile "Action code can change unnoticed" → pinned actions/checkout to b4ffde65f46336ab88eb53be808477a3936bae11 and actions/github-script to ed597411d8f924073f98dfc5c65a23a2325f34cd (the commits behind v4.1.1 / v8.0.0), each line tagged with a # vX.Y.Z comment for future bumps.
  • @coderabbitai "Create the managed labels before applying them" → added workflow_dispatch so the dormant sync-label-definitions job can be triggered manually to seed or update the size:* labels before the next PR run.

Skipped (with reason)

  • @greptile "Size rules lack tests" — AGENTS.md "Add or update tests for behavior changes" targets Go behavior; this PR is workflow-only. A Node test harness for one workflow file would outweigh the workflow itself, so I smoke-tested the logic locally instead.

Local tests run

  • The Go toolchain is not installed in this environment, so go build ./... and go test ./... were not run. The same applies to actionlint and yamllint.
  • The three embedded actions/github-script bodies were parse-checked with node -e 'new Function(...)'; all three evaluate as valid JavaScript.
  • The resolveSizeLabel threshold function (mirrored from the workflow) was exercised against 12 boundary inputs: 0, 9, 10, 29, 30, 99, 100, 499, 500, 999, 1000, 5000 — all 12 produced the expected band.
  • The git diff --numstat exclude logic was end-to-end tested against a synthetic two-commit repo with prod.go, prod_test.go, and mongotest/helper.go: 2 production lines and 9 test lines in the diff produced size:XS, confirming the pathspecs filter correctly.

@weselben, I checked commit 218733a. The workflow now includes:

  • edited in the pull_request_target event types.
  • All six test-helper exclusions you listed.
  • Commit-pinned action references.
  • workflow_dispatch, which enables sync-label-definitions with issues: write.

The manual initialization path addresses my managed-label finding. Once this workflow is on the default branch, run it manually to seed the labels before relying on PR labeling. PR events still skip label initialization.

Thanks for explaining the workflow-only testing approach. Your reported boundary checks and synthetic diff test target the main sizing rules. I did not rerun those checks or verify a successful Actions run.

Learning: For workflow-only changes to .github/workflows/pr-size.yml, the maintainer prefers targeted JavaScript parse checks, sizing-threshold boundary checks, and synthetic Git diff checks over adding a dedicated Node test harness for this single workflow.

@coderabbitai do we need to precreate the labels or is no further setup required? Just to be sure before merging!

@weselben One initialization step is still required, but you do not need to create the labels by hand before merging.

I checked the current workflow and repository labels. No size:* labels exist yet. PR events skip sync-label-definitions, so they do not run label initialization.

Use this sequence:

  1. Merge the workflow into the default branch.
  2. Open Actions → PR Size → Run workflow.
  3. Select the default branch and run the workflow.
  4. Confirm that Sync PR size label definitions succeeds.

That manual run creates all six labels with their configured colors and descriptions. After initialization, PR labeling runs automatically on the configured PR events. No additional secrets are required.
