Load Unresolved PR Review Comments as Parallel Tasks

Load ONLY open/UNRESOLVED PR review threads and rewrite them into grouped markdown task files under .specs/comments/*.md, each safe for a separate parallel agent to implement with no overlap.

Critical Guidelines

• You MUST load ONLY threads where the resolved state is false. Skip resolved threads.
• You MUST rewrite each comment as an actionable TASK requirement, not a summary. Preserve substance (code suggestions, exact instructions) verbatim.
• You MUST NOT post, reply to, or modify anything on GitHub. This skill is read-only against the API.
• You MUST group comments so each file is independently implementable with NO duplication across files.

Step 0: Verify what tools are available

1. Check if GitHub CLI is installed and authenticated:

   gh auth status
   

2. Check if the GitHub MCP server is available:

   mcp__MCP_DOCKER__pull_request_read
   

   or simular command without MCP_DOCKER prefix, if installed directly.

• if both are available, use any that have enough accesses to the repository.
• if github mcp server avaiable but have different structure, adjust in order to fit the expected structure.
• if none is available, try to load directly through curl in case if it is public repository. If it is private, ask user to install GitHub CLI or GitHub MCP server.
• if MCP server not installed, but github cli is installed, but not authenticated, ask user to run gh auth login to authenticate.

Step 1: Resolve the Target PR

• An explicit PR argument ALWAYS takes precedence over current-branch resolution. If a PR number or URL was passed, use it (a URL like https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/pull/{n} → number {n}) and do NOT consult the current branch.
• Otherwise default to the PR of the CURRENT branch:

gh pr view --json number,url,headRefName   # current branch's PR

• Resolve repo owner/name: gh repo view --json owner,name.
• If no PR exists for the branch, gh pr view errors with "no pull requests found" — STOP and report that no PR is associated with the branch (ask for a PR number/URL).

Step 2: Retrieve UNRESOLVED Comments

Resolved/unresolved is a GraphQL reviewThreads { isResolved } concept — the REST /pulls/{n}/comments endpoint does NOT expose it. Use one of the two approaches below; if the primary is unavailable, fall back to the other.

Primary: gh CLI (GraphQL)

Filter isResolved == false directly in the jq:

gh api graphql -f query='
query($owner:String!,$repo:String!,$pr:Int!){
  repository(owner:$owner,name:$repo){
    pullRequest(number:$pr){
      reviewThreads(first:100){
        nodes {
          isResolved
          isOutdated
          path
          line
          startLine
          originalLine
          comments(first:50){
            nodes { author{login} body diffHunk url }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}' -F owner=OWNER -F repo=REPO -F pr=PR_NUMBER \
  --jq '[.data.repository.pullRequest.reviewThreads.nodes[]
         | select(.isResolved==false)
         | {path, isOutdated,
            line: (.line // .startLine // .originalLine),
            comments: [.comments.nodes[]
             | {author: .author.login, url, body, diffHunk}]}]'

This returns each unresolved thread with its file path, an isOutdated flag, a usable line, and ordered comments (author, body, permalink url, diffHunk).

IMPORTANT: For OUTDATED threads line is null (the diff moved). The jq above already falls back line // startLine // originalLine, so line is never null when any anchor exists. When ALL three are null, omit the :<line> segment entirely in the template — never render path:null.

Fallback: GitHub MCP

If the GitHub MCP server (MCP_DOCKER) is available, use the mcp__MCP_DOCKER__pull_request_read tool with method: "get_review_comments":

mcp__MCP_DOCKER__pull_request_read
  method: "get_review_comments"
  owner: "OWNER"
  repo: "REPO"
  pullNumber: PR_NUMBER
  perPage: 100

It returns review_threads[], each with is_resolved, is_outdated, is_collapsed (all snake_case — verified against this tool's response) and comments[] (body, path, author, html_url). Keep only threads where is_resolved is false. Note the MCP comment objects expose path but NOT a line number, so use the html_url as the location anchor. Paginate with after: <endCursor> while pageInfo.hasNextPage is true.

Step 3: Group and Rewrite as Tasks

Convert unresolved threads into focused task files for parallel agents.

Deduplicate FIRST (before grouping): if two or more threads request the same change at the same path (and same/overlapping line), or carry an identical suggested fix, collapse them into ONE requirement. Do not emit a separate line item per duplicate thread — this matters most in the nitpick file where repeated trivial suggestions cluster.

Rewrite rules per thread:

• Drop conversation framing and author names. Output a task, not a transcript.
• If a HUMAN reviewer left feedback, write THAT as the requirement.
• If only a bot/AI suggestion exists (Claude, CodeRabbit, Copilot, etc.), write that fix suggestion as the requirement.
• Preserve substance — do NOT summarize away code blocks, suggested diffs, or exact wording.
• Add context: a short issue description and a link to the file/line (the comment url/html_url, plus path:line) when available. If line is null (outdated/unanchorable thread), write just path with no :line segment and note it is outdated.

Before/after (lock in "rewrite as task, do not summarize"):

• Raw thread (bot): "commands is incorrect, real commands is more like /add-task /plan-task /implement-task"
• Task requirement: "- [ ] Replace the listed commands with the correct ones: /add-task, /plan-task, /implement-task" (suggestion preserved verbatim, conversation framing dropped — NOT "fix the commands").

Grouping rules:

• Group by file or by functionality so two agents never touch the same area → NO conflicts, NO duplicated work.
• Do NOT duplicate a comment across files.
• Aggregate nitpicks / trivial one-line changes into ONE combined file (e.g. nitpicks.md).
• Cap at ≤5 files total. Do NOT over-combine unrelated changes — each file must be a single, focused, independently-implementable unit of work.

Step 4: .gitignore Handling

Ensure generated comment files are ignored. This is idempotent: it appends the entry only if missing, and >> CREATES .gitignore if it does not exist.

grep -qF '.specs/comments/*.md' .gitignore 2>/dev/null || printf '\n.specs/comments/*.md\n' >> .gitignore

Step 5: Write Files

mkdir -p .specs/comments

Write each group as .specs/comments/<kebab-topic>.md using this template:

# Tasks: <focused topic, e.g. Fix incorrect command names in README-zh>

## <Topic 1>

File: `<path>:<line>` (omit `:<line>` when line is null; append " (outdated)" if isOutdated)
<Issue description for the change>

### Requirements

- [ ] <Reviewer requirement or bot fix suggestion, substance preserved>
- [ ] <Next requirement in this topic>

## <Topic 2>

File: `<path>:<line>`
<Issue description for the change>

### Requirements

- [ ] <Reviewer requirement or bot fix suggestion, substance preserved>
- [ ] <Next requirement in this topic>

Step 6: Report

Summarize: target PR (number + url), count of unresolved threads loaded, files created with their topics, and any threads skipped (resolved) or limitations hit (e.g. MCP unavailable).

Edge Cases

Situation	Handling
No PR for current branch	gh pr view errors → report and request a PR number/URL
Argument is a URL	Extract trailing number after /pull/
Zero unresolved threads	Create no files; report "no unresolved comments"
>100 threads	Paginate (GraphQL after cursor / MCP after)
MCP unavailable	Use gh GraphQL; if both unavailable, report limitation
Only resolved threads exist	Skip all; report none actionable
