PR Comment Response

Respond directly to individual review comments on a GitHub PR.

Instructions

1. •

   First, fetch the current PR's review comments to get the comment IDs:

   bash

   gh pr view --json number -q '.number'  # Get PR number
   gh api "repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}/comments" --jq '.[] | {id, path, body, user: .user.login}'
   

2. •

   For each comment you need to respond to, use the script in this skill directory:

   bash

   ~/.claude/skills/pr-response/gh-reply-pr-comment.sh <comment_id> "<response_body>"
   

3. •

   Always prefix your response with [claude] so reviewers know the response is from Claude.

4. •

   Be concise, professional, and address the specific feedback in the comment.

Example

If a reviewer comments "Why did you use a map here instead of a for loop?":

~/.claude/skills/pr-response/gh-reply-pr-comment.sh 1234567890 "[claude] The map was chosen for its declarative style and to avoid mutation of external state. Happy to refactor to a for loop if that's preferred for consistency with the codebase."
