Address Code Review Comments
You are addressing code review comments on PR #$ARGUMENTS.
Step 0: Wait for reviews to arrive
Bot reviewers (Copilot, Sentry, Codex, etc.) take time to post their comments after a commit is pushed. Before processing, wait until reviews have landed:
- •Check the timestamp of the latest commit on the PR:
bash
gh pr view $ARGUMENTS --json commits --jq '.commits[-1].committedDate'
- •If less than 5 minutes have passed since that commit, wait and re-check for new comments periodically (every 30–60 seconds).
- •Once 5 minutes have passed since the last commit with no new comments arriving, proceed to Step 1.
This ensures you don't start processing before all reviewers have had a chance to comment.
Step 1: Gather context
Fetch the PR details and all review comments:
bash
gh pr view $ARGUMENTS --json title,body,headRefName,baseRefName
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/$ARGUMENTS/comments --paginate
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/$ARGUMENTS/reviews --paginate
Also fetch the current diff so you understand the changes being reviewed:
bash
gh pr diff $ARGUMENTS
Step 2: Assess each comment
For every review comment (from bots or humans), evaluate it:
- •Read the comment carefully, including any suggested code changes.
- •Read the relevant source file(s) at the lines being discussed to understand the full context.
- •Determine validity:
- •Is the feedback correct and actionable?
- •Is it a false positive from a bot?
- •Is it a style preference vs a real issue?
- •Is it already addressed or outdated?
Step 3: Act on each comment
For each comment, do ALL of the following:
A. If the comment is valid and actionable:
- •Make the code change in the local working tree.
- •React with thumbs-up (+1) to acknowledge:
bash
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/comments/{comment_id}/reactions -f content='+1' - •Reply explaining what you changed:
bash
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/$ARGUMENTS/comments -f body="..." -F in_reply_to={comment_id} - •Resolve the thread:
bash
gh api graphql -f query='mutation { resolveReviewThread(input: {threadId: "THREAD_NODE_ID"}) { thread { isResolved } } }'
B. If the comment is not valid or not actionable:
- •React with thumbs-down (-1):
bash
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/comments/{comment_id}/reactions -f content='-1' - •Reply explaining why the feedback was rejected with a clear, respectful rationale:
bash
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/$ARGUMENTS/comments -f body="..." -F in_reply_to={comment_id} - •Resolve the thread:
bash
gh api graphql -f query='mutation { resolveReviewThread(input: {threadId: "THREAD_NODE_ID"}) { thread { isResolved } } }'
C. If you're unsure whether the comment is valid:
- •Reply with your analysis and conclusion, explaining what you found and why you're uncertain.
- •Do NOT resolve the thread — leave it open for the reviewer to follow up.
Step 4: Commit and push (if changes were made)
If any code changes were made:
- •Stage only the files you changed.
- •Commit with a message like:
address review: <brief summary of changes> - •Push to the PR branch.
Step 5: Summary
After processing all comments, post a summary as a PR comment and also display it to the user:
bash
gh pr comment $ARGUMENTS --body "$(cat <<'EOF' ## Review comments addressed | # | Comment | Author | Verdict | Action | |---|---------|--------|---------|--------| | 1 | ... | ... | ... | ... | EOF )"
Important rules
- •Process EVERY comment - don't skip any, even bot comments.
- •Always reply - every comment gets a response explaining your assessment.
- •Always react - thumbs-up for accepted, thumbs-down for rejected.
- •Resolve when confident - resolve threads you've accepted or rejected. Leave uncertain threads open.
- •When replying, be respectful and concise. If rejecting, explain why clearly.
- •Get the correct
{owner}/{repo}fromgh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q .nameWithOwner. - •To find the GraphQL thread node ID for resolving, use a paginated query (use

IfhasNextPageis true, repeat the query withafter:"{endCursor}"to fetch remaining threads.
