Address GitHub Comments

Overview

Efficiently address PR review comments or issue feedback using the GitHub CLI (gh). This skill ensures all feedback is addressed systematically.

Prerequisites

Ensure gh is authenticated.

gh auth status

If not logged in, run gh auth login.

Workflow

1. Inspect Comments

Fetch the comments for the current branch's PR.

gh pr view --comments

Or use a custom script if available to list threads.

2. Categorize and Plan

• List the comments and review threads.
• Propose a fix for each.
• Wait for user confirmation on which comments to address first if there are many.

3. Apply Fixes

Apply the code changes for the selected comments.

4. Respond to Comments

Once fixed, respond to the threads as resolved.

gh pr comment <PR_NUMBER> --body "Addressed in latest commit."

Common Mistakes

• Applying fixes without understanding context: Always read the surrounding code of a comment.
• Not verifying auth: Check gh auth status before starting.
