reply-comments

reply-comments is a skill for Claude Code from flurdy/agent-skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (2,207 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for publishing already-prepared outcomes from pull-request review comments on GitHub. It treats pushing code, posting replies, and resolving discussion threads as separate actions that each need fresh confirmation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after local review fixes are ready to push, explain in replies, or mark as resolved on a GitHub pull request.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of accidentally changing a remote branch, sending a message, or closing a review discussion based on an earlier decision.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

reply-comments scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/gh-pr-comments.sh, scripts/gh-pr-conversation-comment.sh, scripts/gh-pr-current-info.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 203 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Reply to Review Comments

Publish selected, validated feedback outcomes after /review-comments. Push, reply posting, and thread resolution are three separate visible actions, each requiring fresh current-run confirmation. Never infer remote permission from item selection, validation, a local commit, a previous run, or approval of another action.

Usage

/reply-comments                         # PR for the current branch; select eligible items
/reply-comments 123                     # backward-compatible current-repository selector
/reply-comments owner/repo#123          # repository-qualified selector
/reply-comments owner/repo#123 inline:C1 conversation:I2

Arguments identify candidates only. They are not permission to push, post, or resolve.

Instructions

1. Resolve the PR and Checkout

Accept owner/repo#number or a numeric PR. With no selector, resolve the current branch through:

~/.agents/skills/reply-comments/scripts/gh-pr-current-info.sh

Use the selected owner/repository for every GitHub call. Before offering a push, prove the current checkout's origin, branch, and HEAD correspond to that PR. Do not switch, fetch, reset, clean, merge, rebase, or overwrite work. A repository mismatch disables the push gate but does not prevent a separately validated answer/rationale from being prepared.

2. Restore Bounded Handled State

Carry forward /review-comments state when it exists. Otherwise reconstruct validation and prepared replies read-only before offering any remote action. Keep at most 500 handled actions keyed by repository/PR/identity/updateKey, recording validation, commit SHA, push result, posted reply ID, and resolution result.

On retry:

  • a recorded successful push, reply, or resolution is not repeated;
  • an inline record with a later self reply is treated as already replied;
  • an already resolved thread is recorded as complete without another mutation;
  • an uncertain or timed-out mutation result is reported as unknown — do not retry automatically;
  • if bounded state was lost, announce that idempotency continuity is unavailable and require a read-only recheck plus new confirmations. For a top-level response whose prior publication cannot be disproved from current self-comments, do not offer another post; return it for manual reconciliation.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
