Pr Threads Address Agent Skill

Prerequisites

gh pr-review extension

Before using this command, check if the gh pr-review extension is installed:

gh extension list | grep -q pr-review || gh extension install agynio/gh-pr-review

Resolve PR context

Every gh pr-review subcommand requires both --pr <number> and --repo <owner/repo> — do not omit either. Look the values up once at the start of the workflow and substitute the literal numbers and slugs into every later command.

Get the PR number for the current branch:

gh pr view --json number -q .number

Get the repository slug:

gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q .nameWithOwner

Then pass the resulting values directly — e.g. --pr 42 --repo posit-dev/skills — on every subsequent gh pr-review call in this workflow (review view, comments reply, threads resolve, etc.).

Workflow

• Fetch and display all unresolved PR review threads
• Analyze each thread to understand the requested changes
• For each thread:
• Make the necessary code modifications
• (When possible) Add unit tests to verify the change
• Commit the changes with descriptive commit messages using conventional commit specification
• Report back with a summary of addressed threads
• Ask if the user wants to resolve the threads. If so, reply to each thread indicating what was done and then resolve the thread.

CLI Reference

View PR Reviews and Comments

Display all reviews, inline comments, and replies for a pull request:

gh pr-review review view --pr <number> --repo <owner/repo>

Common filters:

• --reviewer <login> — Filter by specific reviewer
• --states <list> — Comma-separated review states (APPROVED, CHANGES_REQUESTED, COMMENTED, DISMISSED)
• --unresolved — Show only unresolved threads
• --tail <n> — Show only the last n replies per thread
• --include-comment-node-id — Include GraphQL node IDs for replies

Reply to Review Threads

gh pr-review comments reply --thread-id <PRRT_...> --body "<reply-text>" --repo <owner/repo> --pr <number>

For multi-line replies, pass --body "$(cat <<'EOF' ... EOF\n)" heredoc syntax.

Resolve a Thread

gh pr-review threads resolve --thread-id <PRRT_...> --pr <number> --repo <owner/repo>

Thread IDs (format PRRT_...) come from review view --include-comment-node-id.
