PR review fetcher
Fetch only — capture the review feedback left on a pull request; never fix code, reply, or
judge the comments. Output is a self-contained .PR-REVIEW.md a fresh session can pick up and act
on (e.g. via /refine-pr-review).
Source & access
Identify the platform from the PR URL (host shape) and fetch through the matching MCP server or
CLI — e.g. GitHub MCP / gh for GitHub PRs, Azure DevOps MCP for ADO pull requests. Use
whichever equivalent tools are connected; tool name prefixes vary by config. If the input is
ambiguous, or no matching MCP/CLI is available, ask the user / stop — don't guess.
Golden rule: never assume — ask
Every uncertainty is confirmed with the user before proceeding: a thread's resolved status, the
planning directory, the slug, anything ambiguous in between. A plausible guess is a question, not
an answer.
Your task
- Resolve the input. Accept a full PR URL; extract repo/project and PR id. If unrecognizable,
ask.
- Fetch the PR metadata — title, description, source/target branch, state, author, linked
ticket/work item — and all feedback:
- inline review threads (file, line, code context, full reply chain);
- top-level review verdicts (approve / request changes / …) with their summary text;
- general conversation comments;
- bot comments (CI, linters, coverage, …) — captured too, but grouped separately from human
feedback.
- Determine each thread's status (see Status flags).
- Decide the output directory — the planning directory of the task the PR belongs to,
following the project's/user's convention for where plans live (default:
.agents/plans/).
Guess the task's existing home
from PR context (linked ticket id, branch name, PR title) — its <id>-<slug>/ subdirectory, or
the shared parent/group directory holding its <id>-<slug>.TICKET.md when the ticket lives
flat there — and confirm the guess with the user; when not sure, always ask. If no matching
exists, propose a new <id>-<slug> (ticket id prefix when bound to one, kebab-case slug from
the PR title), confirm, and create it.
- Pick the file name —
<slug>.PR-REVIEW.md, where <slug> is the planning directory name —
in a shared directory, the ticket's own <id>-<slug> instead (e.g.
1234-some-task.PR-REVIEW.md). If it already exists and this is a new review round,
write <slug>.PR-REVIEW-2.md, -3, … — never overwrite; history per round is kept on
purpose.
- Write the document (see structure below).
- Print the result — project-relative paths and the next-step line.
Status flags
Capture every comment, resolved or not, with its state from the platform's own signal (e.g.
GitHub thread resolution, ADO thread status):
- Open / active → actionable; no flag needed.
- Resolved (closed, fixed, won't fix, …) → keep it, marked resolved, with the platform's
original status verbatim —
wontFix is resolved but carries different intent than fixed.
- Outdated (anchored to code later commits changed) → distinct outdated flag, never merged
into resolved: the code moved, but the concern may still be valid — say so in the document.
- Unclear — the platform gives no clear signal, or the thread reads ambiguous (e.g. a reply
says "done" but the thread is still open) → ask the user how to mark it; never decide alone.
Document structure
Must stand on its own: a fresh session with no access to the PR must be able to locate every spot
in the code and understand every piece of feedback without re-fetching.
# PR review: <title>
> **Source** [<PR id>](<url>)
> **Branch** <source> → <target>
> **State** {open/merged/…}
> **Author** {display name}
> **Linked ticket** [<id>](<url>) — omit if none
> **Fetched** {today YYYY-MM-DD}
## Review verdicts — one per reviewer: verdict + summary text
## Inline threads — one ### per thread: `path:line`, quoted code context/diff hunk,
comments oldest first as <author> — <date>, status flag
## General comments — non-inline human conversation, oldest first
## Bot comments — automated feedback, grouped by bot
Omit empty sections. Quote file paths, code, identifiers, and user-facing strings verbatim —
never alter or translate them.
Boundaries
- The PR stays untouched — fetching is read-only: no replies, no resolving threads, no votes,
approvals, or edits.
- Do not fix, analyze, or triage the feedback — capture and flag only.
- The only files you create: the
.PR-REVIEW.md (and its planning directory if new).
Next step
State clearly when done, using project-relative paths. List any thread whose status needed a
user decision and how it was marked. Then hand off the next phase as a
single copy-pasteable launch command — session name and prompt combined, so one paste starts the
session. Use the launch syntax of the agent tool in use (vendor-agnostic — claude below is only
the example), naming the session refine-pr-<slug>:
claude --name refine-pr-<slug> "/refine-pr-review <output-dir>/<slug>.PR-REVIEW.md"
Then offer the alternative — clearing the current session instead (vendor-agnostic — /clear below
is only the example; use the clear command of the agent tool in use):
OR /clear and run:
/refine-pr-review <output-dir>/<slug>.PR-REVIEW.md
