Reply to Review Comments

Reply to PR review comments using the correct GitHub API.

When to Use

• Responding to inline code review feedback
• Addressing specific review comments
• Confirming fixes have been implemented
• Updating reviewers on progress

Critical: Two Types of Comments

DO NOT confuse these:

1. PR-level comments (general timeline): gh pr comment
2. Review comment replies (inline code): GitHub API (see below)

Quick Reference

Copy# 1. Get comment ID
gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments \
  --jq '.[] | {id: .id, path: .path, body: .body}'

# 2. Reply to comment
gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments/COMMENT_ID/replies \
  --method POST -f body="✅ Fixed - brief description"

# 3. Verify reply posted
gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments \
  --jq '.[] | select(.in_reply_to_id)'

Workflow

1. Get comment IDs: List all review comments
2. Apply fixes: Make the requested changes
3. Reply to EACH comment: Respond individually to each
4. Verify replies: Check they all posted successfully
5. Monitor CI: Ensure changes pass CI

Reply Format

Keep responses SHORT and CONCISE (1 line preferred):

Good examples:

• ✅ Fixed - Updated conftest.py to use real repository root
• ✅ Fixed - Deleted test file as requested
• ✅ Fixed - Removed markdown linting section

Bad examples:

• Long explanations
• Defensive responses
• Multiple paragraphs

Error Handling

Verification

After replying:

Copy# Check replies appeared
gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/pulls/PR/comments \
  --jq '.[] | select(.in_reply_to_id) | {id: .id, body: .body}'

# Verify CI status
gh pr checks PR
