PR Review Inline Comments Fixing Session

Overview

This skill starts an interactive session to systematically address and fix inline review comments on a GitHub Pull Request. It uses the gh pr-review extension to fetch unresolved comments and guides you through fixing each one.

Prerequisites

• gh CLI must be installed and authenticated
• gh pr-review extension must be installed (gh extension install agynio/gh-pr-review)

Workflow

Step 1: Identify the PR

First, determine the PR number. Check if the current branch has an associated PR:

gh pr view --json number,title,url 2>/dev/null

If no PR is found, ask the user for the PR number.

Step 2: Fetch Unresolved Review Comments

Use the gh pr-review extension to get all unresolved review threads:

gh pr-review review view --pr <PR_NUMBER> --unresolved --not_outdated

This returns a hierarchical view of all review threads with:

• File path and line numbers
• Original comment body
• Any replies in the thread
• Thread IDs for resolution

Step 3: Process Each Comment

For each unresolved comment:

1. Show the comment context:

- Display the file path, line number(s), and comment body - Show any follow-up replies in the thread

1. Read the relevant code:

- Read the file at the specified location - Show surrounding context (5-10 lines before and after)

1. Understand the issue:

- Analyze what the reviewer is asking for - Determine if it's a bug fix, style change, refactor, clarification, etc.

1. Propose a fix:

- Suggest code changes that address the reviewer's feedback - Explain the reasoning behind the fix

1. Apply the fix:

- After user approval, edit the file to implement the fix

1. Ask about resolution:

- Ask if the user wants to resolve the thread - If yes, resolve it using: gh pr-review threads resolve --thread-id <THREADID> --pr <PRNUMBER>

Step 4: Summary

After processing all comments:

• Summarize what was fixed
• List any comments that were skipped or need follow-up
• Remind user to commit changes if any were made

Commands Reference

View all unresolved comments

gh pr-review review view --pr <NUMBER> --unresolved --not_outdated

View comments from a specific reviewer

gh pr-review review view --pr <NUMBER> --reviewer <login> --unresolved

List threads (alternative view)

gh pr-review threads list --unresolved --pr <NUMBER>

Resolve a thread

gh pr-review threads resolve --thread-id <THREAD_ID> --pr <NUMBER>

Reply to a thread

gh pr-review comments reply --thread-id <THREAD_ID> --body "<message>" --pr <NUMBER>

Example Session Flow

User: /pr-review-fix

Claude: I'll help you fix inline review comments. Let me check your current PR...

[Runs: gh pr view --json number,title,url]

Found PR #42: "Add user authentication"

Fetching unresolved review comments...

[Runs: gh pr-review review view --pr 42 --unresolved --not_outdated]

Found 3 unresolved comments:

---
**Comment 1 of 3** (Thread: PRRT_abc123)
File: src/auth/login.ts:25-28
Reviewer: @senior-dev

> This should handle the case where the user doesn't exist. Currently it will throw an unhandled error.

Let me read the relevant code...

[Shows code context]

**Proposed fix:** Add a try-catch block and return a proper error response when user is not found.

Should I apply this fix? [yes/no]

User: yes

[Applies edit]

Fix applied! Should I resolve this thread? [yes/no]

User: yes

[Resolves thread]

Moving to comment 2 of 3...

Tips

• Use --not_outdated to skip comments on code that has already been changed
• If a comment requires discussion rather than a code fix, use the reply command to respond
• Always read the full thread context before making changes
• Consider running tests after fixes: bun run test
