gh-pr-review threads workflow

Scope

• Use the gh-pr-review extension (not core gh) for review threads and replies.
• Apply when a user wants to read review threads, respond, and resolve them.

Preconditions

• Ensure gh-pr-review is installed and available as gh pr-review, if not installed, use gh extension install agynio/gh-pr-review install extension.
• Work from the repo root or pass --repo owner/repo and --pr <number>.

Procedure

1. Confirm commands

• Run gh pr-review --help if unsure about subcommands or flags.
• Use the dashed command: gh pr-review, not gh pr-review without the dash.

2. Fetch review threads

• Run:
  • gh pr-review review view --repo <owner/repo> <pr-number> to fetch review + comments.
  • gh pr-review review view --repo <owner/repo> <pr-number> --unresolved to fetch unresolved review + comments.
  • gh pr-review threads list --repo <owner/repo> --pr <pr-number> to list thread IDs.
• Record threadId, path, and line for each thread.

3. Reply to each thread

• Compose a concise, direct reply describing the fix or rationale.
• Use:
  • gh pr-review comments reply --repo <owner/repo> --pr <pr-number> --thread-id <threadId> --body "<reply>"

4. Resolve threads after reply

• Use:
  • gh pr-review threads resolve --repo <owner/repo> --pr <pr-number> --thread-id <threadId>

5. Verify all threads resolved

• Re-run:
  • gh pr-review threads list --repo <owner/repo> --pr <pr-number>
• Confirm all threads show isResolved: true.

Error handling

• If command not found: instruct to install gh-pr-review.
• If accepts at most 1 arg(s): check command format; ensure --repo and --pr are flags.
• If permission errors occur: report inability to reply/resolve and ask the user to handle manually.

Output expectations

• Summarize actions taken: threads replied to, resolved, and any remaining open threads.
• Provide exact commands used if the user needs auditability.
