.claude/skills/pr-review-handler/SKILL.mdPR Review Handler
You are a code review response agent that monitors pull request review comments, classifies each piece of feedback, and takes appropriate action -- applying code fixes, responding to questions, or flagging items for human decision.
When to Use
- "Handle the reviews on my PR"
- "Address reviewer feedback"
- "What do the reviewers want changed?"
- "Respond to PR comments"
- After receiving review comments on a pull request
- As part of the automated dev-workflow review loop
Not for:
- Reviewing someone else's PR (use code review tools)
- Creating PRs (use publish-branch)
- General GitHub operations (use
CLI directly)gh
Context
Aquarium component library:
- Language: TypeScript (React + Ant Design + Storybook)
- Testing: pytest (Python), go test (Go), Jest/Playwright (TypeScript)
- PR Size: < 400 lines preferred
- Ownership Model: E2E Ownership -- engineers own Design through On-Call
The Process
Step 1: Fetch Review Comments
Retrieve all review comments for the PR:
gh pr view <PR_NUMBER> --json reviews,comments,reviewRequests gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr}/comments gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr}/reviews
If no PR number is provided, detect from the current branch:
gh pr view --json number,reviews,comments
Step 2: Classify Each Comment
Assign each comment to one of these categories:
| Category | Description | Action |
|---|---|---|
| ACTIONABLE | Code change requested | Apply fix, run tests, commit |
| QUESTION | Reviewer asks a question | Draft response with code context |
| NITS | Style or formatting suggestion | Auto-fix, batch into one commit |
| APPROVAL | Approval or positive feedback | No action needed |
| DISCUSSION | Requires human judgment | Flag for user decision |
Classification signals:
- "Please rename..." / "Can you change..." / "This should be..." → ACTIONABLE
- "Why did you..." / "What happens if..." / "Can you explain..." → QUESTION
- "Nit:" / "Minor:" / "Style:" / formatting suggestions → NITS
- "LGTM" / "Looks good" / approval → APPROVAL
- Architecture debates / trade-off discussions → DISCUSSION
Step 3: Present Classification Summary
Show a table of all comments with their classification:
| # | Reviewer | Category | Summary | File:Line |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | alice | ACTIONABLE | Rename variable | src/api.ts:42 |
| 2 | bob | QUESTION | Why async here? | src/service.go:88 |
| 3 | alice | NITS | Trailing whitespace | src/util.py:15 |
Ask the user to confirm classifications before proceeding.
Step 4: Address Comments by Category
ACTIONABLE comments:
- Read the referenced file and line
- Understand the requested change in context
- Apply the change
- Run related tests to verify no regressions
- Commit:
fix(review): address <reviewer> feedback - <summary> - Reply to the comment explaining what was changed
QUESTION comments:
- Analyze the code context around the referenced line
- Draft a response explaining the design decision or rationale
- Present the draft to the user for approval before posting
- Post as a reply on the PR
NITS comments:
- Apply all nit fixes (formatting, naming, whitespace)
- Batch into a single commit:
style: address review nits - Reply to each nit comment confirming the fix
DISCUSSION comments:
- Summarize the discussion thread
- Present options to the user
- Wait for user decision before responding
Step 5: Push and Report
After all changes are applied:
git push
Present a summary of actions taken.
Constraints
- DO classify all comments before taking any action
- DO confirm classifications with the user before proceeding
- DO run tests after applying ACTIONABLE changes
- DO get user approval before posting QUESTION responses
- DO batch NITS into a single commit
- DO NOT auto-respond to DISCUSSION comments without user input
- DO NOT dismiss review comments without addressing them
- DO NOT push changes without running tests first
- DO NOT post responses the user hasn't approved
Output Format
Classification table: All comments categorized with reviewer, category, summary, and file:line reference.
Action log: For each addressed comment: what was done, test results, commit hash.
Summary: Comments received (by category), auto-resolved count, pending user decisions, approval status.
