prbuddy:reviews

Overview

Discovers and triages PR review comments. Fixes critical issues (aligned with PR goals) and creates GitHub issues for nitpicks (valid but out of scope).

Requires: gh-pr-review extension

gh extension install agynio/gh-pr-review

Workflow

Step 1: Get PR Context and Repo Info

# Get repo slug for -R flag
REPO=$(gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q .nameWithOwner)

# Get PR number
PR_NUM=$(gh pr view --json number -q .number)

# Get PR details
gh pr view --json number,title,body,closingIssuesReferences

Extract:

• Repo slug ($REPO) for commands requiring -R
• PR number ($PR_NUM) for thread operations
• PR goals from title and body
• Linked issues from closingIssuesReferences

These define what's "critical" vs "nitpick".

Step 2: Fetch Review Threads

gh pr-review threads list --unresolved --not_outdated -R $REPO $PR_NUM

This returns unresolved, non-outdated review threads.

Step 3: Triage Each Comment

For each thread, classify:

CRITICAL if comment relates to:

• Linked issues (closingIssuesReferences)
• Goals stated in PR title/body
• Security vulnerabilities (always critical)
• Breaking changes to public API

NITPICK if comment:

• Suggests improvements unrelated to PR goals
• Points out style issues not enforced by linters
• Proposes refactoring beyond PR scope
• Asks questions not requiring code changes

Step 4: Handle Critical Comments

For each critical comment:

4a: Analyze the Feedback

Read the comment carefully. Understand what the reviewer wants.

4b: Consult PAL
