Get PR Comments

This skill provides instructions for retrieving comments from a GitHub Pull Request using the gh CLI. It can be used to fetch all comments, filter them, or retrieve specific comments by their ID.

Overview

Use the gh pr view command with the --json comments flag to retrieve all comments for a given PR.

Commands

Fetch all comments for a PR

gh pr view <PR_NUMBER> --json comments --jq '.[] | {id: .id, body: .body}'

Fetch comments for a specific PR with specific fields

gh pr view <PR_NUMBER> --json comments --jq '.[] | {author: .author.login, body: .body, createdAt: .createdAt}'

Fetch a specific comment by ID

If you have a specific comment ID (e.g., 3432164182), use the GitHub API:

gh api https://api.github.com/repos/<OWNER>/<REPO>/pulls/<PR_NUMBER>/comments/<COMMENT_ID>

(Replace <OWNER>, <REPO>, <PR_NUMBER>, and <COMMENT_ID> with the actual values.)

Tips

  • Use -q or --jq to format the output for easier reading (e.g., jq 'sort_by(.createdAt) | .[]').
  • If the PR is in a different repository than the current one, you may need to set the remote or use the full repository name in the gh api call.
  • For large PRs, you might want to limit the output or filter by author.
