Address GitHub Comments

Purpose

Respond to and resolve PR review comments

This skill provides operational guidance for Address GitHub Comments, including tool usage patterns, workflows, and quality expectations aligned with Syncolab skill standards.

When to Use

• Use when the user needs help with Address GitHub Comments.
• When integrations for this domain are available and the task matches the workflows below.

When NOT to Use

• When the task is unrelated to Address GitHub Comments or covered by a more specific skill.
• When required integrations or credentials are unavailable.

Expected Outcome

• Correct use of domain tools with verified results (not fabricated).
• Clear summary of actions taken, data returned, and recommended next steps.
• Errors and missing permissions reported explicitly.

Inputs to Gather

• User goal, constraints, and any identifiers (URLs, IDs, project keys).
• Available tool sets and connection status.
• Relevant context from related systems before destructive writes.

Workflow

1. Confirm the request maps to Address GitHub Comments and required tools are available.
2. Gather identifiers and scope (project, channel, repo, date range, etc.).
3. Follow the domain guidance below; prefer list/search before get/update when applicable.
4. Execute tool calls using schemas from the integration; never invent tool output.
5. Summarize results and offer logical follow-ups.

Address GitHub Comments

Overview

Efficiently address PR review comments or issue feedback using the GitHub CLI (gh). This skill ensures all feedback is addressed systematically.

Prerequisites

Ensure gh is authenticated.

gh auth status

If not logged in, run gh auth login.

Workflow

1. Inspect Comments

Fetch the comments for the current branch's PR.

gh pr view --comments

Or use a custom script if available to list threads.

2. Categorize and Plan

• List the comments and review threads.
• Propose a fix for each.
• Wait for user confirmation on which comments to address first if there are many.

3. Apply Fixes

Apply the code changes for the selected comments.

4. Respond to Comments

Once fixed, respond to the threads as resolved.

gh pr comment <PR_NUMBER> --body "Addressed in latest commit."

Common Mistakes

• Applying fixes without understanding context: Always read the surrounding code of a comment.
• Not verifying auth: Check gh auth status before starting.

Tool Availability Rules

Access	Behavior
Full tool access	Execute workflows, verify outputs, report errors.
Read-only	Inspect and plan; provide exact commands or dispatch request for writes.
No integration	State limitation; do not fabricate API results.

Related tool sets

• github

Review / Decision / Execution Criteria

• Prefer smallest safe change; confirm destructive actions with the user.
• Use evidence from tool responses; cite IDs and links when present.
• Match integration-specific conventions (JQL, RFC3339, A1 notation, etc.).

Output Format

Report:

1. What was requested and what was done.
2. Key results (tables or bullets).
3. Errors, blockers, or missing permissions.
4. Suggested next steps.

Quality Bar

• Specific, actionable, and grounded in tool output.
• Concise unless the user asked for detail.
• Respect rate limits, pagination, and API semantics.

Safety and Boundaries

• Do not commit secrets, tokens, or PII into skills or user-visible logs.
• Do not fabricate validation, send, or write confirmations.
• Confirm destructive operations (delete, destroy, mass update) when appropriate.

Escalation / Dispatch Rules

• If the task spans multiple domains, use or suggest related skills via relationships.skills.
• If write access is required but unavailable, dispatch or ask the user to enable tools.
