# How to implement Microsoft BCQuality in your GitHub Pull Request

[Read the post](https://thatnavguy.com/blog/2026/implement-bcquality-agentic-workflow-business-central/) · That NAV Guy (Teddy Herryanto, MVP) · 2026-08-20 · 423 words · tier community · reviewed (checked by Opus)

> This post explains how to set up Microsoft BCQuality, a knowledge base for Business Central AL code quality reviews, in a GitHub pull request workflow using an agentic workflow. It provides step-by-step instructions to implement automated code quality checks without blocking merges.

## Key points

- BCQuality is a reference library covering AL code quality best practices in correctness, maintainability, readability, performance, and testability
- GitHub agentic workflows can automatically review AL code changes and post advisory comments on pull requests
- Implementation requires three steps: copy the workflow file, place it in .github/workflows/, and compile it with gh aw compile
- The workflow can use either the public Microsoft BCQuality repository or a private internal clone with proper authentication
- Reviews are advisory only and do not block merges, providing additional review coverage without disrupting development flow

## Quotes

- "Think of it as a reference library for Business Central best practices around correctness, maintainability, readability, performance, and testability." (Defines what BCQuality provides as a knowledge base for consistent code quality standards)
- "It does not block your merge. It gives your team another set of eyes." (Explains the non-intrusive nature of the review process, allowing teams to maintain development velocity)
- "If you already use pull requests for AL changes, this is an easy upgrade." (Shows that adoption fits naturally into existing workflows with minimal friction)

## Context

- Features: BCQuality advisory review, agentic workflow integration, pull request automation, AL code quality checking
