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.

Feedback

To provide feedback on Amazon Q Developer, create an issue in the Amazon Q Developer public repository.

Thank you for your work on this pull request. Here's a summary of the key points from the review:

  1. Security Vulnerabilities: Several critical security issues were identified in the clean.ts file, including hardcoded credentials, command injection vulnerability, path traversal vulnerability, and SQL injection vulnerability. These need to be addressed urgently.

  2. File Download Function: The downloadFiles function in package.ts has potential security implications and should be refactored to use more secure methods.

  3. Prepare Packager Function: The preparePackager function in package.ts uses hardcoded values and lacks proper error handling and file integrity checks. Consider refactoring this function for better security and maintainability.

  4. EventBridge Scheduler Implementation: The createEventBridgeSchedule function in createSchedule.ts is well-structured but could benefit from more specific error handling. The createSchedule method in eventBridgeSchedulerService.ts is not yet implemented and should throw a more specific error.

Please address these issues, particularly the security vulnerabilities, before merging this pull request. If you have any questions or need clarification on any of the comments, please don't hesitate to ask.

The downloadFiles function has potential security implications:

  1. It only checks for the Linux platform, which might lead to unexpected behavior on other platforms.
  2. The function doesn't validate the url parameter, which could lead to security vulnerabilities if an attacker can control the input.
  3. The use of child_process.execFileSync with curl could be dangerous if the url is not properly sanitized.

Consider using a more secure method for downloading files, such as the https module in Node.js, which doesn't rely on external commands and provides better control over the download process.

The preparePackager function has several issues:

  1. It uses hardcoded values for REPO_NAME and TAG_NAME, which may lead to maintenance problems if these values change.
  2. The function checks if the current directory includes 'amazonq', which is a brittle way to determine if the function should run.
  3. It directly accesses process.env.STAGE, which might not be set or could be manipulated.
  4. The function downloads a file from GitHub without verifying its integrity or authenticity.

Consider refactoring this function to use configuration files or environment variables for the repository and tag names, implement more robust checks for when to run the function, and add integrity checks for downloaded files.

The error handling in this function could be more specific. Instead of catching all errors and showing a generic message, consider catching specific errors and providing more detailed feedback to the user. This will improve the user experience and make debugging easier.

The createSchedule method is currently not implemented. It's good practice to throw a specific error type for unimplemented methods, rather than a generic Error. Consider using a custom error class or a more descriptive error message.
