Finding Thread IDs

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

  • Reply in the relevant thread to keep context together
  • Reference commits when changes are made
  • Be specific about what was changed
  • Ask clarifying questions if feedback is unclear

Next Steps

After replying:

  • Use pr-comments skill to see the updated thread
  • Use pr-comment skill for new general comments
