Address PR Feedback

Systematically address unresolved review feedback on a pull request.

Input

Primary input: the PR number or URL.

Optional last parameter: -- <additional context>

Interpret $ARGUMENTS as one of:

• <pr-number>
• <pr-url>
• <pr-number> -- <additional context>
• <pr-url> -- <additional context>
• -- <additional context>

If no PR input is provided, detect it from the current branch: gh pr view --json number. Use any additional context to prioritize reviewer concerns, constraints, or follow-up expectations.

Process

Step 1: Fetch Unresolved Threads

Use GraphQL — the REST API does NOT expose isResolved status on review threads.

gh api graphql -f query='
query {
  repository(owner: "<OWNER>", name: "<REPO>") {
    pullRequest(number: <PR_NUMBER>) {
      reviewThreads(first: 100) {
        nodes {
          isResolved
          isOutdated
          path
          line
          id
          comments(first: 10) {
            nodes {
              id
              body
              author { login }
              url
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}'

Filter for unresolved threads: select(.isResolved == false).

Step 2: Process Each Thread

For each unresolved thread, read the file and surrounding context, then categorize. Incorporate any optional additional context when choosing how to respond:

• Actionable — code change needed
• Question — respond with explanation
• Discussion — assess if change improves code
• Already addressed — change was made but thread not resolved
• Won't fix — explain why current approach is preferred
• Follow-up — valid improvement, out of scope — create linked issue

Step 3: Address and Reply Individually

Address each thread immediately, then reply before moving to the next. Do not batch.

For each thread:

1. Make the change (if actionable)
2. Run lint/format/checks
3. Commit: git commit -m "fix: address PR feedback — <brief description>"
4. Reply to the thread:

gh api graphql -f query='
mutation {
  addPullRequestReviewThreadReply(input: {
    pullRequestReviewThreadId: "<THREAD_ID>"
    body: "<response>"
  }) {
    comment { id }
  }
}'

Reply format by category:

• Actionable: "Fixed in <sha>. "
• Question: ""
• Discussion: ""
• Already addressed: "Addressed in <sha>."
• Won't fix: "Keeping current approach because ."
• Follow-up: "Created # to track this."

Step 4: Create Follow-up Issues

For valid out-of-scope improvements:

gh issue create \
  --title "<description>" \
  --body "Identified during PR review of #<PR_NUMBER>.

> <reviewer's comment>

Proposed solution: <what should be done>"

Step 5: Push and Summarize

git push

Report: feedback items addressed, commits created, follow-up issues created, items needing human decision.

Guidelines

• GraphQL for discovery — REST API doesn't show resolution status
• Reply individually — keeps discussions organized and threads resolvable
• Reply immediately — address, reply, then move to next thread
• Be specific — reference commits, line numbers, and code
• Test changes — run checks before committing
• Granular commits — one per logical change
