What it does

When you ask the agent to handle feedback on a pull request, this skill tells it to read the PR's conversation and inline review comments through the GitHub CLI, propose a fix for each, apply the changes to the code, run the project's checks, and only then reply on GitHub. It also asks you before posting replies or resolving review threads, and treats a conversation comment as not the same as closing an inline thread.

Great for

  • Developers who want an agent to clear a backlog of reviewer comments on their own PR
  • Teams that want replies to cite the commit and test result that addressed each comment

Skip it if

  • Posting or resolving comments on other people's PRs without review, since the skill can write to GitHub under your account once authorized
  • Repositories where you have not authenticated gh or lack write access, as the steps will fail or need credentials you should control

Try asking

  • “Address the unresolved review comments on my current branch's PR and reply with the commit SHA”
  • “Go through the feedback on PR 142, propose fixes first, and ask me before changing anything risky”
  • “Check which inline review threads are still open on this PR and draft replies for me to approve”
