About this capability
Review and triage PR review comments on the current branch — groups threads by file, separates bots from humans, walks through unresolved comments interactively
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by datadog/datadog-agent in .agents/skills/review-pr-comments/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Fetch, summarize, and interactively triage review comments on the PR for the current git branch.
Prerequisites
ghCLI authenticated with access to the repository- Current branch must have an open PR (not
mainor a release branch likeN.N.x)
Workflow
Step 1: Identify the PR
BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
Guard: skip if branch is main, master, or matches release pattern ^\d+\.\d+\.x$.
Find the PR:
gh pr list --head "$BRANCH" --json number,title,url,state --limit 5
If no PR found, inform the user and stop.
Step 2: Fetch all review data
Run these three gh api calls in parallel:
# Review comments (inline code comments)
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{PR_NUMBER}/comments --paginate \
--jq '.[] | {id, path, line, body, user: .user.login, created_at, in_reply_to_id, diff_hunk}'
# Top-level reviews (approval/request-changes status + body)
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{PR_NUMBER}/reviews --paginate \
--jq '.[] | {id, user: .user.login, state, body}'
# Issue-level comments (general PR discussion, CI bot reports)
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{PR_NUMBER}/comments --paginate \
--jq '.[] | {id, user: .user.login, body, created_at}'
Extract {owner} and {repo} from gh repo view --json owner,name.
Step 3: Organize into threads
Group review comments into conversation threads using in_reply_to_id:
- A comment with
in_reply_to_id: nullstarts a new thread - Replies link to their parent thread
For each thread, track:
- File & line from the root comment
- Author of the root comment
- All replies in chronological order
- Resolution status: resolved if the PR author replied last
Step 4: Classify comments
Separate into two groups:
Bot comments (user login ends with [bot] or is a known CI bot):
- Summarize briefly (e.g., "CI quality gates passed", "Regression detector: no regressions")
- Only highlight actionable items (failures, warnings)
Human reviewer comments:
- These get full treatment in Step 5
Step 5: Present and triage each human comment
For each unresolved human reviewer comment thread:
- Show context: file, line, diff hunk, the comment body
- Read the current file at the referenced location to understand current state
- Summarize the reviewer's concern in one sentence
- Propose a concrete action: code fix, reply text, or explanation
- Ask the user what to do using AskQuestion:
Options:
- "Fix" → Apply the proposed code change
- "Reply" → Post a reply comment on the PR via gh api
- "Reply with custom message" → Ask user for reply text, then post
- "Add TODO" → Add a TODO item to track for later
- "Skip" → Move to next comment
For already-resolved threads (PR author replied last), present them as a summary group:
- Show the comment + your reply, note it's resolved
- Ask if user wants to revisit any
Step 6: Execute chosen actions
Fix: Edit the file, show the diff to the user. Do NOT commit automatically.
Reply: Post via gh API:
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{PR_NUMBER}/comments \
-f body="$REPLY_TEXT" -f in_reply_to=$COMMENT_ID
TODO: Use the TodoWrite tool to track it.
Step 7: Summary
After processing all comments, output a summary table:
| # | File | Reviewer | Action Taken |
|---|------|----------|--------------|
| 1 | path/to/file.go:42 | reviewer1 | Fixed |
| 2 | path/to/other.py:10 | reviewer2 | Replied |
| 3 | path/to/build.bzl:5 | reviewer3 | Skipped (already resolved) |
Edge Cases
- No unresolved comments: Report "All review comments are resolved" with approval status summary
- PR not found: Suggest the user push the branch or create a PR first
- Outdated diff hunks: Note that the comment may reference old code; read the current file to verify
- Multiple PRs for branch: Use the most recent open one
