Respond to PR Feedback

Post replies to review comments after you've evaluated the feedback and made fixes. Resolves conversation threads by default.

Usage

/beagle-core:respond-pr-feedback [--pr <number>] [--no-resolve]

Flags:

• --pr <number>

  - PR number to target (default: current branch's PR)

• --no-resolve

  - Skip thread resolution after posting replies (default: resolve all)

Prerequisites

Run

/beagle-core:fetch-pr-feedback

Instructions

1. Parse Arguments

Extract flags from

$ARGUMENTS

• --pr <number>

  or detect from current branch

• --no-resolve

  flag (boolean, default false)

2. Get PR Context

# Get PR info (if --pr not specified, uses current branch)
gh pr view --json number,author --jq '{number, author: .author.login}'

# Get repo owner/name
gh repo view --json owner,name --jq '{owner: .owner.login, name: .name}'

# Get current authenticated user
gh api user --jq '.login'

Store as

$PR_NUMBER

$PR_AUTHOR

$OWNER

$REPO

$CURRENT_USER

Note:

$OWNER

$REPO

3. Fetch Unreplied Comments and Thread Data

3a. Unreplied Review Comments

Fetch review comments, excluding PR author and current user, filtering to root comments that haven't been replied to.

Write the jq filter to a temp file using a heredoc with single-quoted delimiter (prevents shell escaping issues with

!=

cat > /tmp/unreplied_comments.jq << 'JQEOF'
add // [] |
# Root comments from reviewers (not replies, not PR author, not current user)
[.[] | select(
  .in_reply_to_id == null and
  .user.login != $pr_author and
  .user.login != $current_user
)] as $roots |
# IDs that current user has already replied to
[.[] | select(.user.login == $current_user) | .in_reply_to_id] as $replied |
# Filter to unreplied only
$roots | map(select(. as $c | $replied | index($c.id) == null)) |
# Dedup: group by path + line + reviewer, pick newest per group
group_by({
  p: .path,
  l: (.line // .original_line),
  u: .user.login
}) |
map(sort_by(.created_at) | last) |
# Output needed fields
map({
  id,
  user: .user.login,
  path,
  line_display: (
    .line as $end | .start_line as $start |
    if $start and $start != $end then "\($start)-\($end)"
    else "\($end // .original_line)" end
  ),
  body
})
JQEOF

gh api --paginate "repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/comments" | \
  jq -s --arg pr_author "$PR_AUTHOR" --arg current_user "$CURRENT_USER" \
  -f /tmp/unreplied_comments.jq

If no unreplied comments found, output: "All review comments have been addressed." and stop.

3b. Pre-fetch Thread Data

Fetch review thread IDs to enable resolution after posting replies:

gh api graphql -f query="
  query {
    repository(owner: \"$OWNER\", name: \"$REPO\") {
      pullRequest(number: $PR_NUMBER) {
        reviewThreads(first: 100) {
          nodes {
            id
            isResolved
            comments(first: 1) {
              nodes { databaseId }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
"

Build a lookup map: comment

databaseId

id

4. Generate and Post Replies

For each unreplied comment, determine the appropriate response based on your evaluation:

$COMMIT_SHA

Tagging guideline:

@

@coderabbitai

@

Post reply to each comment:

gh api "repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/comments/$COMMENT_ID/replies" \
  -X POST --raw-field body="$RESPONSE"

5. Resolve Threads

This step runs by default. Skip only if

--no-resolve

After posting each reply, look up the

$THREAD_ID

$COMMENT_ID

gh api graphql -f query="
  mutation {
    resolveReviewThread(input: {threadId: \"$THREAD_ID\"}) {
      thread { isResolved }
    }
  }
"

• If a comment's

  $COMMENT_ID

  has a matching thread ID in the lookup, resolve it
• If no thread ID found (e.g., issue comment rather than review thread), skip resolution for that comment

6. Output Summary

Group by reviewer:

### Reviewer: coderabbitai[bot]

| File:Line | Response Type | Thread |
|-----------|---------------|--------|
| `src/foo.ts:42` | Fixed in `abc1234` | Resolved |
| `src/bar.ts:15` | Explained design | Resolved |

### Reviewer: octocat

| File:Line | Response Type | Thread |
|-----------|---------------|--------|
| `src/baz.ts:7` | Won't fix | Resolved |

Footer:

**Threads resolved: 3/3**

Response Guidelines

• @

  -tag bot reviewers to trigger re-processing; do not tag human reviewers
• Keep responses concise and technical
• No performative agreement ("Great point!", "You're right!")
• Reference specific code/design when explaining decisions
• If fixed: state what changed, no gratitude

Example

# Respond to all reviewers on current PR (resolves threads)
/beagle-core:respond-pr-feedback

# Respond on a specific PR
/beagle-core:respond-pr-feedback --pr 123

# Respond without resolving threads
/beagle-core:respond-pr-feedback --no-resolve
