FAQPage Schema
How do I get notified when Copilot finishes a code review on a pull request?

To get notified when Copilot finishes a code review, this Skill runs a background polling loop using the gh CLI to monitor PRs and alerts you once the review is complete. It specifically tracks the two-phase process of overview comments followed by inline comments.

Can I monitor Copilot code reviews across multiple pull requests?

Yes, you can monitor Copilot code reviews across multiple pull requests. The Skill supports multi-PR monitoring within a repository by leveraging the gh CLI to query reviews and comments, providing clear status updates until all inline reviews are posted.

Do I need the gh CLI installed to monitor GitHub PR reviews?

Yes, you need the gh CLI installed and authenticated. The Skill leverages the gh CLI directly to fetch pull request reviews and comments from your repository, enabling the background polling loop to detect when Copilot's inline review is posted.

What is the best way to track Copilot's two-phase pull request reviews?

The best way to track Copilot's two-phase pull request reviews is to use a background polling loop that queries GitHub via the gh CLI. This monitors for the initial overview comment and subsequent inline comments, delivering a notification upon completion.

Why does monitoring Copilot inline comments on a PR stall my workflow?

Monitoring Copilot inline comments stalls your workflow because Copilot often posts an initial overview comment and adds inline comments later. This Skill solves the wait time by polling GitHub in the background and notifying you immediately when the full review is complete.

Does this Skill time out if Copilot takes too long to post inline comments?

Yes, the Skill will notify you upon timeout if Copilot takes too long to post inline comments. It continuously polls GitHub via the gh CLI during the monitoring period and delivers a notification whether the review is completed or the timeout is reached.
