Agent Skills: PR thread resolver

Fetches, fixes, and resolves unresolved GitHub PR review threads with the gh CLI. Use when addressing reviewer feedback, clearing blocking conversations before merge, or applying GitHub suggested changes. Verifies each finding against current code and resolves only what it fixed.

PR thread resolver

Turn unresolved GitHub PR review threads into committed, verified, resolved fixes — natively, with gh + Claude Code's edit/verify loop. No external orchestrator.

When to use / route away

Use for hosted PR review threads. Route away:

  • Local review notes (Codex/Zen/manual) → review-remediation.
  • Passive watch until merge / CI status → babysit-pr.
  • CI-log-only failure with no review thread → gh workflow-log remediation.

Default loop (autonomous: fix → commit → push → resolve)

  1. Ground: read repo AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md; git status --short; capture the head SHA (gh pr view <pr> --json headRefOid -q .headRefOid).
  2. Fetch threads: list unresolved review threads via gh api graphql into a compact worklist (see references/gh-graphql.md): thread id, path, line, isResolved, isOutdated, body, any suggestion hunk.
  3. Triage each: Read the current line. Skip with a reason if already-fixed or stale (isOutdated + code no longer matches); else queue a minimal fix.
  4. Plan: decide order; serial for shared files, fan out for independent threads (below).
  5. Fix: apply the smallest correct edit. Apply a suggestion block verbatim only on an exact hunk match; otherwise write a hand-minimal fix.
  6. Verify: run repo-native gates — focused test for the touched area first, then broad type-check / lint / build (use /verify and /code-review as the backbone).
  7. Commit: scoped, semantically grouped Conventional Commits (see references/closeout.md).
  8. Push the branch once after all intended commits pass verification.
  9. Resolve: re-fetch head + thread state; resolve via resolveReviewThread only threads backed by a committed+pushed+verified fix (or already-fixed at current head).
  10. Re-poll until zero actionable threads remain or a real blocker appears.

Parallel resolution

When ≥3 threads touch disjoint files, dispatch one read-and-fix Task subagent per file/cluster. Subagent contract: fix + verify + report only (file:line, change, verification result) — it does not commit, push, or resolve. The parent serializes all staging, commits, pushes, and resolveReviewThread mutations. Workers own disjoint files and never touch another's.

Resolve safety policy

Resolve a thread ONLY when it maps to a committed, pushed, and verified fix (or is already fixed at current head). Never resolve when: the PR head drifted unexpectedly since you pushed; verification failed; the thread was skipped, ambiguous, or unmatched. Do not auto-reply by default — reply only when a thread cannot be fixed cleanly or the user asks for a comment.

Outputs

Worklist · verified-fix / skipped summary (file:line evidence) · verification commands + results · commit SHAs · thread→commit closeout map · terminal status completed | blocked | no-op.
