What is handle-pr-comment?

A workflow for handling a comment on a GitHub pull request, including checking the code and deciding whether to make the requested change. A pull request is a proposed code change submitted for review before it is merged.

Use it to inspect PR comments, implement approved fixes when appropriate, or draft an explanation for changes that should not be made.

It helps distinguish actionable review feedback from questions or objections and keeps the response grounded in the current code and discussion.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00030	$0.00928
Opus 5	$0.00015	$0.00464
Sonnet 5	$0.00006	$0.00186
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00093

Security

Grade A, and why

handle-pr-comment 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 5d 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.

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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Handle PR Comment

Evaluates a comment on a GitHub pull request and responds appropriately, either implementing the requested change or drafting a reply explaining why the change will not be made. On user approval it commits and pushes code changes; whether the reply comment is posted to GitHub is decided by should-post-to-github (based on ~/.sdlc/config.yaml), otherwise the drafted reply is shown without posting.

Prerequisites

gh CLI authenticated with write access to the target repository
PR URL ($1) pointing to an open pull request
Git push access to the PR branch

Skill attribution (GitHub)

Before posting any PR comment with gh, read github-post-attribution/SKILL.md and append the Posted with footer for SKILL_DIR = handle-pr-comment.

Steps

Fetch PR details and full comment history:
```
ghx pr view $1 --comments --refresh
```
Clone the repository locally:
```
gh repo clone <owner>/<repo>
```
Display the target comment's content.
Evaluate whether the feedback is appropriate and actionable.
If actionable: implement the changes in the codebase.
If not actionable: draft a reply explaining the rejection.
Present reasoning to the user for approval.
On approval:
- For code changes: commit and push to the PR branch (push is not gated).
- For posting a reply comment: get the PR author (gh pr view <pr-number> --repo <owner>/<repo> --json author --jq .author.login), then run ~/.agents/scripts/should-post-to-github --repo "<owner>/<repo>" --author "<PR_AUTHOR>". If it exits 0, post the reply via ghx with the Skill attribution footer on the comment body. If it exits 1, present the drafted reply to the user without posting.

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.
