# PR Review Comments
Fetch unresolved review threads from a GitHub pull request, filtered for context efficiency: resolved threads are excluded, outdated threads included but marked.
## Usage
```bash
bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/pr-comments.ts <pr-url> [--role author|reviewer] [--since last-review|<date>] [--bots]
```
## Arguments
- `<pr-url>`: GitHub PR URL (e.g., `https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123`)
- `--role`: `author` or `reviewer` (default: auto-detect based on authenticated user)
- `--since`: filter to threads with activity since `last-review` or an ISO date
- `--bots`: only review-bot threads (accounts the API types as `Bot`), plus any logins in `$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA/reviewers.txt`
## Role
- **author** (default when authenticated user is the PR author): all unresolved threads, the feedback that needs addressing.
- **reviewer** (default when authenticated user is not the PR author): only unresolved threads started by the authenticated user, to check whether comments have been resolved.
## Since
- `last-review`: threads with activity since the last relevant review.
- As author: since the most recent review by a human other than you (bot reviews excluded)
- As reviewer: since your most recent submitted review
- ISO date: explicit cutoff (e.g., `2025-01-15`)
## Output
Compact markdown grouped by file with line numbers and full comment bodies, enough to act on the feedback directly without additional API calls. Each thread prints its node `id`, used to reply and resolve.
## Replying and Resolving
Reply to and resolve threads via the `addPullRequestReviewThreadReply` and `resolveReviewThread` mutations, addressing a thread by the `id` from the fetch output.
```bash
# Reply, or reply and resolve in one call
bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/review-threads.ts reply <thread-id> --body "..."
bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/review-threads.ts reply <thread-id> --resolve --body "..."
# Resolve alone (prefer reply --resolve so the resolve carries context)
bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/review-threads.ts resolve <thread-id>
```
Pass the reply text with `--body`, `--bodyFile <path>`, or stdin. Don't resolve without a reply: a silent resolve hides why the thread closed.
## Reactions
A reply is not always warranted. When the fix is straightforward and a reply would only acknowledge it (test coverage, a rename, an obvious guard), react with a thumbs up instead of writing a reply. A fleshed-out reply with code references to a bot is mechanical noise. The goal is fewer comments, not a new acknowledgement on every thread, so prefer a reaction only where you would otherwise have written a low-value reply, and stay silent where you would have stayed silent.
```bash
# Thumbs up, optionally resolving in the same call
bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/review-threads.ts react <thread-id> --resolve
bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/review-threads.ts react <thread-id> --down --resolve
```
The reaction lands on the thread's first comment. Thumbs down (`--down`) is feedback to a bot reviewer whose comment was wrong or unhelpful. Never thumbs down a human, and never in an autonomous run.
#### Bot Reviewer Threads
A bot reviewer is any account the `--bots` filter catches: accounts the API types as `Bot` (Copilot, CodeRabbit, Greptile) plus logins in `$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA/reviewers.txt`. Use that filter to detect them rather than hardcoding logins.
Do not write human-voiced replies to these threads. No thanks, no "addressed in the latest revision", no conversation with the bot. Push the fix and resolve the thread, or just resolve it. For a straightforward change, a thumbs up reaction (see [Reactions](#reactions)) acknowledges the bot without a reply.
If a reply is genuinely needed, state the resolution as a terse note for a human reader ("Guarded with a null check"), not a message to the bot.
