PR Review Comments

Fetch unresolved review threads from a GitHub pull request, filtered for context efficiency: resolved threads are excluded, outdated threads included but marked.

Usage

bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/pr-comments.ts <pr-url> [--role author|reviewer] [--since last-review|<date>] [--bots] [--include-resolved]

Arguments

• <pr-url>: GitHub PR URL (e.g., https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123)
• --role: author or reviewer (default: auto-detect based on authenticated user)
• --since: filter to threads with activity since last-review or an ISO date
• --bots: only review-bot threads (accounts the API types as Bot), plus any logins in $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA/reviewers.txt
• --include-resolved: resolved threads are excluded by default. This flag includes them for follow-up-style flows that must surface silently resolved threads. Resolved threads carry a (resolved) tag.

Role

• author (default when authenticated user is the PR author): all unresolved threads, the feedback that needs addressing.
• reviewer (default when authenticated user is not the PR author): only unresolved threads started by the authenticated user, to check whether comments have been resolved.

Since

• last-review: threads with activity since the last relevant review.
  • As author: since the most recent review by a human other than you (bot reviews excluded)
  • As reviewer: since your most recent submitted review
• ISO date: explicit cutoff (e.g., 2025-01-15)

Output

Compact markdown grouped by file with line numbers and full comment bodies, enough to act on the feedback directly without additional API calls. Each thread prints its node id, used to reply and resolve.

Replying and Resolving

Reply to and resolve threads via the addPullRequestReviewThreadReply and resolveReviewThread mutations, addressing a thread by the id from the fetch output.

# Reply, or reply and resolve in one call
bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/review-threads.ts reply <thread-id> --body "..."
bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/review-threads.ts reply <thread-id> --resolve --body "..."

# Resolve alone (prefer reply --resolve so the resolve carries context)
bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/review-threads.ts resolve <thread-id>

Pass the reply text with --body, --bodyFile <path>, or stdin. Don't resolve without a reply: a silent resolve hides why the thread closed.

Reactions

A reply is not always warranted. When the fix is straightforward and a reply would only acknowledge it (test coverage, a rename, an obvious guard), react with a thumbs up instead of writing a reply. A fleshed-out reply with code references to a bot is mechanical noise. The goal is fewer comments, not a new acknowledgement on every thread, so prefer a reaction only where you would otherwise have written a low-value reply, and stay silent where you would have stayed silent.

# Thumbs up, optionally resolving in the same call
bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/review-threads.ts react <thread-id> --resolve
bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/review-threads.ts react <thread-id> --down --resolve

The reaction lands on the thread's first comment. Thumbs down (--down) is feedback to a bot reviewer whose comment was wrong or unhelpful. Never thumbs down a human, and never in an autonomous run.

Bot Reviewer Threads

A bot reviewer is any account the --bots filter catches: accounts the API types as Bot (Copilot, CodeRabbit, Greptile) plus logins in $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA/reviewers.txt. Use that filter to detect them rather than hardcoding logins.

Do not write human-voiced replies to these threads. No thanks, no "addressed in the latest revision", no conversation with the bot. Push the fix and resolve the thread, or just resolve it. For a straightforward change, a thumbs up reaction (see Reactions) acknowledges the bot without a reply.

If a reply is genuinely needed, state the resolution as a terse note for a human reader ("Guarded with a null check"), not a message to the bot.
