pr-respond

Draft brief, professional responses to PR review comments.

Workflow

1. Run the fetch script (auto-detects PR from current branch, or accepts PR number):

   ./fetch-unresolved-comments.sh [PR_NUMBER]
   

2. Read relevant code files for context
3. Draft responses for each comment

Response Style

Human reviewers: Brief and professional. 1-2 sentences max.

• "Fixed." / "Good catch, fixed."
• "Done, switched to [approach]."
• "Intentional - [one line reason]."
• "Can you clarify what you mean by X?"

AI bot reviewers (CodeRabbit, Copilot, etc.):

• Fixing: Ultra-brief - "Fixed." / "Done."
• Not fixing: Brief explanation - "Won't fix - [reason]" or "Intentional - [reason]"
• Nitpicks: Skip or "N/A"

Output Format

**[file:line]** (@reviewer)
> [their comment summary]

[your response]

Task Management

For PRs with multiple review comments:

1. Use TodoWrite to create a task for each unresolved comment thread
2. Mark tasks as in_progress when drafting each response
3. Mark completed after drafting (user will copy/post responses)

Example todo structure:

• "Respond to @reviewer on src/file.ts:42"
• "Respond to @coderabbit on src/utils.ts:15"

Sub-Agents

Use Task tool with Explore agent when you need to:

• Understand unfamiliar code referenced in review comments
• Find related implementations to justify design decisions
• Search for patterns/conventions used elsewhere in the codebase

Keep exploration focused - only spawn agents when context from a simple file read isn't sufficient.

Guidelines

• Keep responses short - respect reviewer's time
• AI bots get minimal acknowledgment unless the suggestion is substantive
• If disagreeing, one sentence of reasoning is enough
• Don't over-explain
