Use the pr-comments skill to load PR comments, which displays thread IDs for each comment thread. Look for the thread ID in the output to use with this command.
Response Patterns
| Scenario | Example Reply |
|---|---|
| Fixed as requested | "Fixed in commit abc123" |
| Explaining approach | "I chose this approach because..." |
| Requesting clarification | "Could you clarify what you mean by...?" |
| Acknowledging feedback | "Good catch! I've updated the implementation" |
| Disagreeing respectfully | "I see your point, but I think X because..." |
Best Practices
