Support image inputs from github issues

Open bracesproul opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

We should support users providing images via the body of github issues. Right now if an image is passed via the github body, we don't do anything with it in the github issue webhook handler. We should update this handler to extract any image URLs, ensure they're public (so the LLM can take them as input), then convert them to image blocks in the input message

Here is how you'd supply an image via the human message:

const message = new HumanMessage({
  content: [
    { type: "text", text: "describe the weather in this image" },
    { type: "image_url", image_url: { url: image_url } },
  ],
});

✅ Plan Accepted ✅

The proposed plan was accepted.

Plan: Support image inputs from GitHub issues by extracting image URLs and converting to multimodal content

  • Task 1:
Create a utility function in packages/shared/src/github-images.ts to extract image URLs from GitHub issue markdown content using regex patterns for both ![alt](url) and <img src='url'> formats, and validate that URLs are publicly accessible by checking if they start with 'https://' and are from trusted domains like GitHub
  • Task 2:
Update the getMessageContentString function in packages/shared/src/messages.ts to handle multimodal content arrays by processing both text and image_url content types, extracting text from text blocks and adding image descriptions for image_url blocks
  • Task 3:
Modify the GitHub issue webhook handler in apps/open-swe/src/routes/github/issue-webhook.ts to use the new image extraction utility to convert issue body text to multimodal content array when images are detected, creating HumanMessage with content array containing both text and image_url blocks instead of plain string content
  • Task 4:
Run yarn lint:fix and yarn format from the repository root to ensure code quality standards are met

Proceeding to implementation...
