SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires gh, jq, bash, date, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps you aggregate valuable review comments from merged PRs and distill them into concrete candidate proposals for improving your project’s REVIEW.md.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Merged PR comment distillation: Extracts review-thread signals across a time window limited to merged PRs, focusing on comments worth carrying forward.
  • Proposal generation for REVIEW.md: Produces a proposals.md file containing accept/hold/reject recommendations and draft bullet text for later human or downstream-skill editing.
  • Safety-first separation of duties: Read-only by design—no PR edits, no postings, no branch/commit changes.

Quick Start

In your repo context, run distill-pr-reviews to collect merged-PR review comments from the last 7 days and generate proposals.md with REVIEW.md update candidates.

Frequently Asked Questions about distill-pr-reviews

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate review guidance from merged GitHub PR feedback?

To generate review guidance from merged GitHub PR feedback, distill-pr-reviews collects review-thread signals across a time window and outputs proposals.md containing actionable REVIEW.md update candidates. It separates AI-driven clustering from deterministic collection scripts.

Can I extract review comments from GitHub pull requests without modifying the repository?

Yes, you can extract review comments from merged GitHub pull requests safely. The distill-pr-reviews skill is read-only by design, ensuring no PR edits, comment postings, or branch and commit changes occur during the collection process.

What dependencies do I need to collect GitHub PR review signals via bash scripts?

You need gh, jq, bash, and date installed in your environment to collect GitHub PR review signals. These dependencies allow the bundled scripts to deterministically fetch and process merged pull request data for AI-driven clustering.

How do I cluster past PR review comments into markdown proposals for team guidance?

To cluster past PR review comments into markdown proposals, the skill applies AI-driven classification to intermediate signals.json files. This process groups related feedback and generates proposals.md containing draft bullet text for team guidance workflows.

What is the best way to automate summarization of GitHub PR reviews for a code review library?

The best way to automate summarization of GitHub PR reviews is using a skill that combines deterministic collection scripts with AI-driven clustering. This approach extracts meaningful review-thread signals from merged PRs and distills them into reusable markdown proposals.

Are there limitations to distilling PR feedback using bash and gh CLI tools?

A limitation of distilling PR feedback using bash and gh CLI tools is that collection is restricted to merged pull requests within a specified time window. Additionally, the generated proposals.md requires human or downstream-skill editing before final integration into REVIEW.md.
