wait-for-coderabbit
Poll until CodeRabbit posts its review summary. Then hand off to coderabbit-triage.
Detection rules
| Signal | Source | Means |
|---|
comment by coderabbitai[bot] containing Actionable comments posted | gh pr view --json comments | review complete |
comment by coderabbitai[bot] containing Reviewing... or 🔄 | same | in progress |
no coderabbitai[bot] author in comments | same | not started |
coderabbitai[bot] review thread present | GraphQL reviewThreads | inline comments dropped |
Poll loop
PR="${1:-$(gh pr view --json number -q .number)}"
TIMEOUT_MIN="${TIMEOUT_MIN:-20}"
DEADLINE=$(( $(date +%s) + 60 * TIMEOUT_MIN ))
while [ $(date +%s) -lt $DEADLINE ]; do
STATE=$(gh pr view "$PR" --json comments -q '
[.comments[] | select(.author.login == "coderabbitai")]
| if length == 0 then "missing"
elif any(.body; test("Actionable comments posted|✅ Review complete"))
then "complete"
else "in_progress" end')
echo "{\"pr\": $PR, \"cr_state\": \"$STATE\", \"t\": $(date +%s)}"
[ "$STATE" = "complete" ] && exit 0
sleep 30
done
Re-trigger when missing past threshold
If STATE = missing after 5 min, post:
gh pr comment "$PR" --body "@coderabbitai review"
Then reset deadline once. If still missing after second deadline → emit cr_no_show and continue without CR (do NOT block merge; flag for liveops-engineer).
Re-trigger after force-push
CR usually re-reviews on push. If not within 3 min after push:
gh pr comment "$PR" --body "@coderabbitai full review"
Output (JSON)
{
"pr": 123,
"cr_state": "complete|in_progress|missing|cr_no_show",
"review_comment_id": 1234567,
"thread_count": 7,
"duration_s": 180
}
Pair with
- After
complete → invoke coderabbit-triage.
- After
cr_no_show → proceed to pr-merge if other gates pass (Law 2 still requires spec ref, but CR is advisory).
CR commands cheat (full ref: respond-to-cr-commands)
| Command | Effect |
