Monitor PR Comments

Poll a PR for new comments at regular intervals and address them as they come in.

Usage

• •/git-monitor-pr-comments - Monitor PR for current branch
• •/git-monitor-pr-comments <pr-number> - Monitor specific PR
• •/git-monitor-pr-comments <pr-number> <interval> - Custom interval (default: 30s)

Reference Files

• •@init-tracking.sh - Initialize the processed comments tracking file
• •@monitor-script.sh - Background polling script

Instructions

1. Get repo info and PR number

REPO=$(gh repo view --json owner,name --jq '.owner.login + "/" + .name')
PR=<pr-number>  # From args or current branch's PR

2. Initialize tracking

Run the init script to mark all current comments as "already seen":

bash .claude/commands/git-monitor-pr-comments/init-tracking.sh "$REPO" "$PR"

3. Start background monitor

Copy the monitor script to /tmp and run with run_in_background: true:

cp .claude/commands/git-monitor-pr-comments/monitor-script.sh ./tmp/
chmod +x ./tmp/monitor-script.sh
./tmp/monitor-script.sh "$REPO" "$PR" "30"

This returns a task ID and output file path.

4. Check for new comments

Periodically read the output file:

tail -20 /path/to/task/output

5. When a new comment is detected

1. •

   Add to processed list immediately to avoid re-detection:

   bash

   echo "<comment_id>" >> ./tmp/pr${PR}_processed_comments.txt
   

2. •

   Fetch full comment details:

   bash

   gh api repos/$REPO/pulls/$PR/comments/<id>
   

3. •

   Categorize and address using /git-address-pr-review workflow

4. •

   Refresh baseline after replying (to exclude your own replies):

   bash

   bash .claude/commands/git-monitor-pr-comments/init-tracking.sh "$REPO" "$PR"
   

6. Stop monitoring

Use TaskStop tool with the background task ID.
