Reviews

Triage and address PR review feedback end-to-end: fetch every comment, fix what's actionable, ask the user about anything ambiguous, reply on threads where it helps other reviewers, resolve handled threads, and post a summary of what was addressed.

When to use

User typed /reviews, or asked something like "address review comments", "go through PR feedback", "handle the review on #3239", "respond to the inline comments".

Resolve the target PR

Argument forms (/reviews <arg> or no arg):

• No arg → use current branch's PR. Detect with:

  gh pr view --json number,url,headRefName,baseRefName,state
  

  If no PR exists for the current branch, stop and tell the user.
• Number (e.g. 3239) → gh pr view 3239 --json ...
• URL (e.g. https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/3239) → extract the number, same as above
• Branch name (e.g. feature/foo) → gh pr view feature/foo --json ...

Resolve OWNER/REPO from gh repo view --json owner,name.

Stop and ask if:

• The PR is MERGED or CLOSED (addressing review on a merged PR is almost always wrong).
• The PR is DRAFT and has no reviews yet.
• The current branch is main/master and no arg was given.

Pre-flight on the local checkout

Before editing anything:

git status --porcelain=v1 -b
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD

• Working tree dirty → ask whether to stash, commit, or proceed. Don't silently mix unrelated changes into the review-fix commit.
• Not on the PR's headRefName → ask before checking it out. The user may be intentionally addressing reviews from a different worktree.
• Mid-rebase / mid-merge (.git/rebase-merge, .git/MERGE_HEAD exists) → stop. Finish that first.

Fetch all feedback

Run these in parallel — they're independent reads:

# Top-level reviews (the "Approve / Request changes / Comment" submissions, plus their summary body)
gh api "repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$NUM/reviews?per_page=100"

# Inline review comments (line-by-line — these are the ones with path + line + diff_hunk)
gh api "repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$NUM/comments?per_page=100"

# Issue/conversation-tab comments (top-level chat on the PR)
gh api "repos/$OWNER/$REPO/issues/$NUM/comments?per_page=100"

# Review threads with resolved state — GraphQL is the only way to get this
gh api graphql -f query='
  query($owner:String!, $repo:String!, $num:Int!) {
    repository(owner:$owner, name:$repo) {
      pullRequest(number:$num) {
        reviewThreads(first:100) {
          nodes {
            id
            isResolved
            isOutdated
            comments(first:50) {
              nodes { id databaseId author { login } body path line originalLine diffHunk url }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }' -F owner="$OWNER" -F repo="$REPO" -F num=$NUM

The GraphQL reviewThreads.nodes[].id is the thread ID needed for resolveReviewThread. The comments.nodes[].databaseId matches the REST id on inline comments — use this to bridge the two APIs.

If pagination hits the cap (>100 of any kind), page through with --paginate or follow Link headers.

Triage

Build a working list. For each comment:

Skip:

• Threads where isResolved == true.
• Comments authored by the PR author (you / the user) — those are replies, not asks.
• Bot comments unless they are CodeRabbit / Copilot review bots making concrete suggestions (those count).
• Outdated threads (isOutdated == true) where the line no longer exists — note for the summary as "no longer applicable" but don't try to fix.
• Pure approvals ("LGTM", state: APPROVED with empty body and no inline asks).

Categorize the rest:

• Actionable — clear code change requested ("rename this", "this should be Promise.all", "missing null check"). Make the change.
• Question — reviewer is asking for clarification ("why this approach?", "is this safe?"). Reply, don't change code.
• Suggestion you disagree with — flag for the user. Don't silently dismiss.
• Ambiguous — can't tell what they want. Flag for the user.
• Out of scope — valid but belongs in a follow-up. Reply saying so + (with user OK) open a follow-up issue.

Address actionable comments

For each one:

1. Read the surrounding code (use path, line, and diffHunk from the inline comment payload to locate exactly what they're pointing at).
2. Read the comment carefully — reviewers often link to other code, paste suggested diffs, or reference related comments. Honor suggested diffs (suggestion blocks) when they're correct.
3. Make the change with Edit.
4. Track in a running list: { commentId, threadId, file, line, what_changed }.

Don't batch-edit blindly. Each comment is a separate decision. If two comments contradict, ask the user.

After all changes, run a quick sanity pass:

• Run the project's type checker on touched files (e.g. tsc --noEmit, bun typecheck, npx tsc)
• If the change touches tests or business logic the user explicitly cited, run the relevant test file

Commit the changes locally with a clear message:

git add <changed files>
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
review: address feedback from PR #<NUM>

<bullet list of what changed, one line per comment>

Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
EOF
)"

Do not push. The user reviews and pushes.

Reply to comments

Reply when it adds value for other reviewers — not just for the original commenter:

• Worth replying: explanation of the fix's approach (esp. if non-obvious), pointer to the commit/line where the fix landed, "good catch — also fixed the same issue in X", a "won't fix because Y" rationale, or answers to direct questions.
• Skip the reply: trivial typo fixes, formatting nits, anything where the diff itself is self-explanatory.

Post a reply to a specific inline comment:

gh api -X POST "repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$NUM/comments/$COMMENT_ID/replies" \
  -f body="<your reply>"

For a thread-level reply via GraphQL:

gh api graphql -f query='
  mutation($threadId:ID!, $body:String!) {
    addPullRequestReviewThreadReply(input:{pullRequestReviewThreadId:$threadId, body:$body}) {
      comment { id url }
    }
  }' -F threadId="$THREAD_ID" -f body="$BODY"

Keep replies short. One or two sentences. Reference the commit SHA when useful (fixed in abc1234).

Resolve threads

Resolve a thread once it's handled (code changed + optional reply posted), or once the user has explicitly said "won't fix" with a reply explaining why.

gh api graphql -f query='
  mutation($threadId:ID!) {
    resolveReviewThread(input:{threadId:$threadId}) {
      thread { id isResolved }
    }
  }' -F threadId="$THREAD_ID"

Do not resolve threads:

• That you didn't address.
• That are still pending user input.
• That belong to a reviewer who explicitly requested the author resolve them — ask first if you see that pattern.

Ambiguous / human-in-the-loop items

Before posting the summary, surface anything that needs the user:

• Comments you classified as ambiguous → list them with the comment URL + a one-line description, and ask what to do.
• Suggestions you disagreed with → state your reasoning and ask whether to push back, accept, or punt.
• Out-of-scope items → propose the follow-up issue title/body and ask before opening.

Wait for user response. Do not guess on these.

Post the summary comment

After all decisions are made and changes committed, post one summary comment to the PR. Format:

## Review feedback addressed

Thanks for the review! Here's what was addressed in <commit-range>:

### Fixed
- **`path/to/file.ts:42`** — <one-line description> ([comment](url))
- **`path/to/other.ts:88`** — <one-line description> ([comment](url))

### Won't fix (with rationale)
- **`path/to/x.ts:10`** — <reason> ([comment](url))

### Follow-up
- Opened #<issue> for <thing> ([comment](url))

Post it with:

gh pr comment $NUM --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
<rendered summary>
EOF
)"

Skip the summary if there were ≤2 small items handled — individual replies suffice.

Hard rules

• Never push the resulting commit. The user reviews and pushes.
• Never close, merge, approve, or dismiss-review the PR.
• Never delete or edit other people's comments.
• Never resolve a thread you didn't address or that is awaiting user input.
• Never post the summary comment before the user has confirmed any ambiguous items.
• Never silently disagree — if a reviewer's suggestion is wrong, post a reply explaining why and let them respond.
• Don't batch-resolve at the end — resolve each thread immediately after addressing it.
• If gh returns 403 / 404, the user likely needs to re-auth (gh auth refresh -s repo,read:org) or doesn't have write access. Stop and tell them.

Reporting

End-of-skill summary:

Addressed N comments on PR #<num> in <commit-sha>: K fixed, L replied-only, M won't-fix, P escalated to user. Summary posted. Run tests, then push.
