github-pr-comments

A workflow for reading and replying to feedback on GitHub pull requests. Pull requests are proposed code changes, and their feedback may appear as general comments, line-specific comments, or review threads.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fetch pull-request comments and code changes, identify the exact feedback being addressed, and post an approved reply to the correct thread.
Why use it?
It prevents replies from being placed in the wrong location or aimed at the wrong comment.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-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 2 executable files (scripts/fetch-pr-comments.sh, scripts/reply-to-pr-comment.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 — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub PR Comments

Use this for solo-maintainer PR review workflows where feedback is stored as plain GitHub comments rather than formal review submissions.

Baseline Failure To Avoid

Agents naturally mix comment APIs: they may read reviews when feedback is actually an issue comment, post a top-level reply instead of an inline thread reply, or patch someone else's comment instead of posting a reply.

Skill Scope

This skill owns PR comment mechanics: fetching comments and diffs, distinguishing issue comments from inline review comments, obtaining exact target IDs, and posting approved replies through project scripts.

This skill does not own role-level review orchestration. The calling review agent decides how to interpret comments, validate technical claims, combine them with other findings, suggest fixes, edit files, dispatch implementers, or perform final self-review.

Read Comments

Use the bundled read-only helper before proposing fixes. It fetches top-level issue comments, unresolved inline review threads, and the PR diff:

bash .agents/skills/github-pr-comments/scripts/fetch-pr-comments.sh [<pr>]

When <pr> is omitted, the script auto-detects the PR number from the current branch.

Run the command exactly as shown, without quoting the script path. The review-code agent has explicit auto-permissions for this command form.

The helper prints a compact comment summary first, then full PR metadata, issue comments, inline comments, and the PR diff. Use the summary for grouping and the full JSON sections for exact databaseId values.

Optional read-only modes:

bash .agents/skills/github-pr-comments/scripts/fetch-pr-comments.sh [<pr>] --comments-only
bash .agents/skills/github-pr-comments/scripts/fetch-pr-comments.sh [<pr>] --diff-only
bash .agents/skills/github-pr-comments/scripts/fetch-pr-comments.sh [<pr>] --json

Do not call the GitHub CLI directly for reading PR metadata, issue comments, inline comments, or diffs. The helper is the stable interface for this workflow.

Files

What ships with it

2 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.

github-pr-comments is a skill published in the GitHub repository sflandergan/agentic-coding (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 980 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
