github-pr-review

A tool for posting structured review feedback on GitHub pull requests, including comments attached to specific lines of code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to publish code-review findings, suggestions, and priority labels directly on changed files in a pull request.
Why use it?
It keeps review comments together in one GitHub review and avoids errors when sending text containing quotes, backticks, or line breaks.

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

github-pr-review scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 3d ago.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 188 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub PR Review

Post structured code review feedback using the GitHub API with inline comments on specific lines. Windows PowerShell equivalents for JSON file creation, temp paths, line lookup, and fallback curl are in references/windows.md.

Key Rule: One API Call

Bundle ALL comments into a single review API call. Do not post comments individually.

Posting a Review

Use the GitHub CLI (gh) with a JSON input file. The GITHUB_TOKEN is automatically available.

Important: Always use --input with a JSON file instead of -F flags. This avoids shell quoting issues with special characters in comment bodies (quotes, backticks, newlines, etc.) and eliminates the need for complex heredoc scripts.

Step 1: Create a JSON file

cat > /tmp/review.json << 'EOF'
{
  "commit_id": "{commit_sha}",
  "event": "COMMENT",
  "body": "Brief 1-3 sentence summary.",
  "comments": [
    {
      "path": "path/to/file.py",
      "line": 42,
      "side": "RIGHT",
      "body": "🟠 Important: Your comment here."
    },
    {
      "path": "another/file.js",
      "line": 15,
      "side": "RIGHT",
      "body": "🟡 Suggestion: Another comment."
    }
  ]
}
EOF

Step 2: Post the review

gh api -X POST repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}/reviews --input /tmp/review.json

Parameters

Parameter Description
commit_id Commit SHA to comment on (use git rev-parse HEAD)
event COMMENT, APPROVE, or REQUEST_CHANGES
path File path as shown in the diff
line Line number in the NEW version (right side of diff)
side RIGHT for new/added lines, LEFT for deleted lines
body Comment text with priority label

Multi-Line Comments

For comments spanning multiple lines, add start_line to specify the range:

{
  "path": "path/to/file.py",
  "start_line": 10,
  "line": 12,
  "side": "RIGHT",
  "body": "🟡 Suggestion: Refactor this block:\n\n```suggestion\nline_one = \"new\"\nline_two = \"code\"\nline_three = \"here\"\n```"
}

Files

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
