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.
