PR Address Comments

Read a remote PR's review comments, implement fixes, then reply to and resolve the addressed threads.

Phase: Fix

Quick start

/pr-address-comments https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/pull/123
/pr-address-comments 103

---

Prerequisites

• GitHub CLI (gh) — authenticated and with access to the repository
• The current directory must be a git repo (.git/ present)

---

Limitations

• GitHub's REST API does not have a "resolve thread" endpoint. Threads must be resolved via the GraphQL API using resolveReviewThread.
• The minimizeComment mutation hides comments but does NOT resolve threads — do not use it for this purpose.
• Reply endpoint: POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number}/comments with in_reply_to field. The older /replies sub-resource returns 404.

Instructions

Step 1: Resolve the PR

Parse the user's input:

• If a full URL is provided (e.g., https://github.com/org/repo/pull/123), extract the owner, repo, and PR number directly.
• If only a number is provided, determine the remote from .git:

# Get the GitHub owner/repo from the git remote
gh repo view --json nameWithOwner --jq .nameWithOwner

Step 2: Fetch PR Details and Review Comments

# Get PR metadata
gh pr view <NUMBER> --json title,body,state,headRefName,files

# Get inline review comments (these are the ones to address)
gh api repos/<OWNER>/<REPO>/pulls/<NUMBER>/comments

Parse each comment for:

• id — the comment ID (needed for responding later)
• path — the file path
• line / original_line — the line number
• body — the reviewer's feedback

Step 3: Get Unresolved Thread IDs (GraphQL)

Fetch thread metadata upfront so you can resolve them later:

gh api graphql -f query='
query {
  repository(owner: "<OWNER>", name: "<REPO>") {
    pullRequest(number: <NUMBER>) {
      reviewThreads(first: 100) {
        nodes {
          id
          isResolved
          comments(first: 1) {
            nodes {
              databaseId
              path
              body
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}' --jq '.data.repository.pullRequest.reviewThreads.nodes[] | select(.isResolved == false) | {threadId: .id, commentId: .comments.nodes[0].databaseId, path: .comments.nodes[0].path, body: .comments.nodes[0].body}'
