Implement Review Loop

End-to-end workflow for implementing code from a plan, creating PRs with Graphite, and iterating on review feedback.

Prerequisites

• Graphite CLI installed (gt --version)
• GitHub CLI installed (gh --version)
• Repository initialized with Graphite (gt init if not)
• Devin Review available via npx (npx devin-review)

Workflow Overview

Plan -> Implement -> Create Branch (gt) -> Submit PR -> Wait for Review -> Read Comments -> Fix -> Push -> Repeat

Phase 1: Implement the Plan

1. Read the current plan (from context, file, or conversation)
2. Implement all changes specified in the plan
3. Run tests and linting to verify implementation
4. Stage changes: git add <specific-files>

Phase 2: Create Branch and PR with Graphite

Create branch with auto-generated name from commit message:

gt create --all --message "feat: <description from plan>"

Submit the PR with auto-generated description:

gt submit --ai --stack

Or with manual title/description:

gt submit --edit-title --edit-description

Capture the PR URL from output for later use.

Phase 3: Request Code Review (Optional)

Run Devin Review for AI-powered code review:

cd /path/to/repo
npx devin-review https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123

This creates an isolated worktree and sends diff to Devin for analysis.

Phase 4: Wait for Reviews (Token-Efficient)

Use the polling script to wait without consuming tokens:

./scripts/poll_pr_comments.sh owner/repo 123 --timeout 60 --interval 30

The script:

• Polls GitHub API every 30 seconds (configurable)
• Returns when new comments are detected
• Exits after timeout with no-comments status
• Does NOT consume Claude context while waiting

For CI checks:

./scripts/wait_for_checks.sh owner/repo 123 --timeout 15

Phase 5: Read and Address Comments

Fetch all comments for review:

./scripts/fetch_pr_comments.sh owner/repo 123

This outputs:

• Inline review comments with file:line locations
• PR-level comments
• Review decision status

For each comment:

1. Read the feedback
2. Implement the fix
3. Stage the changes

Phase 6: Push Updates

Amend current commit and push:

gt modify --all
gt submit

Or create a new fixup commit:

gt create --all --message "fix: address review feedback"
gt submit

Phase 7: Loop Until Approved

Repeat phases 4-6 until:

• All comments are resolved
• PR is approved
• Ready to merge

Bundled Scripts

poll_pr_comments.sh

Polls for new PR comments without consuming context:

./scripts/poll_pr_comments.sh <owner/repo> <pr-number> [--timeout <min>] [--interval <sec>]

wait_for_checks.sh

Waits for GitHub checks to complete:

./scripts/wait_for_checks.sh <owner/repo> <pr-number> [--timeout <min>]

fetch_pr_comments.sh

Fetches and formats all PR comments:

./scripts/fetch_pr_comments.sh <owner/repo> <pr-number> [--unresolved-only]
