SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually responding to GitHub pull request review threads is time-consuming and prone to missing context, especially when you have already pushed fixes for the reported feedback. This skill automates the process of drafting, triaging, and posting replies as the PR author, ensuring responses are accurate, reference your latest commits, and are sent immediately without creating unnecessary pending reviews.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unresolved Thread Fetching: Retrieves all open, unresolved PR review threads via GitHub GraphQL API, filtering out already-resolved or outdated threads.
  • Auto-Detection of Addressed Feedback: Checks if your recent commits since the review was posted already fix the reported issue, and drafts replies referencing the relevant commit SHA.
  • Guided Triage & Posting: Lets you select which threads to fix, review drafted replies, edit them if needed, and post responses one at a time or in bulk, with strict guardrails to prevent unauthorized code changes or unapproved posts.
  • Use Case: After pushing bug fixes for an open PR, use this skill to quickly respond to all reviewer comments, noting which fixes are already live in your latest commits, and address any remaining feedback in a single workflow.

Quick Start

Use the gh-reply-comments skill to respond to all open review threads on your current GitHub pull request, referencing any fixes you have already pushed in your latest commits.
