Addressing PR Feedback

Overview

Fetch PR review comments, separate bot suggestions from human feedback, present a summary, then let the user select which comments to address.

Workflow

1. Identify branch → from user input or git branch --show-current
2. Find PR → gh pr list --head <branch> --json number,title,url --jq '.[0]'
3. Fetch all comments → review comments, issue comments, review summaries
4. Group by reviewer type → human reviewers (high priority) vs bots (suggestions)
5. Present summary → counts, timestamps, outdated status
6. User selects → checkbox multi-select via AskUserQuestion
7. Fix selected → read file, apply fix, optionally reply to comment

Fetching Comments

# Inline review comments (on specific code lines)
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/<PR_NUMBER>/comments

# General PR comments
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/<PR_NUMBER>/comments

# Review summaries
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/<PR_NUMBER>/reviews

Key fields:

• created_at — display as relative time ("2 hours ago")
• position — null means outdated (code changed since comment)
• in_reply_to_id — reply thread, group with parent
• path — file the comment is on

Grouping Comments

| Category | Detection | Priority | |----------|-----------|----------| | Bot | Username contains [bot], ends with bot, or is a known CI tool | Lower — automated suggestions | | Human | All other usernames | Higher — requires response |

Presenting Summary

## PR #123: "Add authentication flow"

### Human Reviewers (2 comments) — HIGH PRIORITY
- @alice: 1 comment on src/auth.ts (2 days ago)
- @bob: 1 comment on src/utils.ts (5 hours ago) ⚠️ OUTDATED

### Bot Suggestions (5 comments)
- 3 style/formatting (1 day ago)
- 2 potential improvements (1 day ago) ⚠️ 1 OUTDATED

Mark comments as ⚠️ OUTDATED when position is null (code changed since the comment was posted).

User Selection

Use AskUserQuestion with multiSelect: true:

Which comments do you want me to address?
[ ] @alice: "Consider adding error handling for timeout" (2 days ago)
[ ] @bob: "This function could be simplified" (5h ago) ⚠️ OUTDATED
[ ] bot: "Missing return type annotation" (3 similar, 1 day ago)

Group similar bot comments to reduce noise. Show relative timestamps. Mark outdated comments — the user may skip these.

Anti-Patterns

Dumping all comments raw: Always summarize and group first.

Treating all comments equally: Human comments get priority display over bot suggestions.

Open-ended questions: Use checkbox selection, not "which ones do you want me to fix?"

Fixing without asking: Always let the user select which comments to address.
