Address PR Review Comments

Automates the workflow of reading open PR review comments, understanding each one, making code changes where the feedback is valid, and posting thoughtful replies to every comment - all via the gh CLI. The agent exercises judgment on which comments to accept vs. respectfully defer, and batches all replies for user review before posting.

When to use this skill

Trigger this skill when the user:

• Wants to address or respond to PR review comments
• Says "handle my PR feedback" or "fix review comments"
• Asks to reply to open review threads on a GitHub PR
• Wants to process unresolved review comments on their branch
• Says "address the PR comments" or "respond to reviewer"
• Needs to batch-reply to all open comments on a PR

Do NOT trigger this skill for:

• Creating a new PR or writing a PR description
• Reviewing someone else's PR (that's code-review, not addressing comments)
• General git operations unrelated to PR review comments

---

Prerequisites

The gh CLI must be authenticated. Verify with:

gh auth status

The user should be on the branch associated with the PR, or provide a PR number/URL.

Core workflow

Step 1 - Identify the PR

Determine the PR number. If the user doesn't specify one:

gh pr view --json number,title,url -q '.number'

Gotcha: This only works if the current branch has an open PR. If it fails, ask the user for the PR number or URL.

Step 2 - Fetch all review comments

Fetch all review comments (not issue comments) on the PR:

gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}/comments --paginate

Each comment object contains:

• id - unique comment ID
• body - the reviewer's comment text
• path - file path the comment is on
• line / original_line - line number in the diff
• diff_hunk - surrounding diff context
