Resolve PR Comments

Review unresolved comments on a GitHub pull request, fix the code where comments make sense, reply with reasoning, and resolve the threads.

Workflow

- [ ] Step 1: Fetch unresolved review threads
- [ ] Step 2: Understand the codebase and each comment
- [ ] Step 3: For each comment, fix code or reply with disagreement
- [ ] Step 4: Reply to each thread with reasoning
- [ ] Step 5: Resolve all threads

Step 1: Fetch Unresolved Threads

Extract owner, repo, and PR number from the URL. Fetch all unresolved review threads:

gh api graphql -f query='
query {
  repository(owner: "OWNER", name: "REPO") {
    pullRequest(number: NUMBER) {
      reviewThreads(first: 50) {
        nodes {
          id
          isResolved
          comments(first: 10) {
            nodes {
              id
              body
              path
              line
              originalLine
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}'

Filter to threads where isResolved == false.

Step 2: Understand the Codebase and Each Comment

Before acting on comments, build sufficient understanding of the codebase:

1. Read the PR diff to understand the full scope of changes
2. Read surrounding code, related files, and existing patterns — not just the commented line
3. For each unresolved thread, read the comment body to understand what's being requested
4. Determine if the comment makes sense in the context of the codebase — does the suggestion improve correctness, consistency, or clarity?

Step 3: Act on Each Comment

If the comment makes sense: Fix the code using Edit tool. Apply the suggested change or an equivalent improvement.

If the comment does not make sense: Prepare a reply explaining why you disagree, with specific reasoning.

Step 4: Reply to Each Thread

Reply to each review comment with a brief explanation of what you did:

gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/NUMBER/comments -f body="REPLY" -f in_reply_to=COMMENT_ID

• If fixed: explain what was changed and why
• If disagreed: explain the reasoning clearly and respectfully

Step 5: Resolve All Threads

After replying, resolve each thread:

gh api graphql -f query='
mutation {
  resolveReviewThread(input: { threadId: "THREAD_NODE_ID" }) {
    thread { isResolved }
  }
}'

Important

• Always read the actual code before deciding whether a comment makes sense
• Do not resolve threads without replying first — always leave a record of what was done and why
