gh-address-comments
Help address review/issue comments on the open GitHub PR for the current branch using gh CLI; verify gh auth first and prompt the user to authenticate if not logged in.
When & Why to Use This Skill
This Claude skill streamlines the post-review development workflow by automating the management of GitHub Pull Request comments. By integrating with the GitHub CLI (gh), it fetches active review threads, provides structured summaries of requested changes, and assists in applying fixes directly to the current branch, significantly reducing the manual effort required to resolve PR feedback.
Use Cases
- Scenario 1: Rapidly addressing minor review feedback such as linting issues, typo corrections, or documentation updates across multiple files.
- Scenario 2: Summarizing complex or lengthy PR discussion threads to help developers prioritize tasks and understand reviewer requirements without switching context.
- Scenario 3: Automating the verification of GitHub authentication and fetching real-time PR status directly within the terminal to maintain a seamless coding flow.

PR Comment Handler
Guide to find the open PR for the current branch and address its comments with gh CLI. Run all gh commands with elevated network access.
Prereq: ensure gh is authenticated (for example, run gh auth login once), then run gh auth status with escalated permissions (include workflow/repo scopes) so gh commands succeed. If sandboxing blocks gh auth status, rerun it with sandbox_permissions=require_escalated.
1) Inspect comments needing attention
- Run scripts/fetch_comments.py which will print out all the comments and review threads on the PR
2) Ask the user for clarification
- Number all the review threads and comments and provide a short summary of what would be required to apply a fix for it
- Ask the user which numbered comments should be addressed
3) If user chooses comments
- Apply fixes for the selected comments
Notes:
- If gh hits auth/rate issues mid-run, prompt the user to re-authenticate with
gh auth login, then retry.
