Use this tool when you need to retrieve and format GitHub PR comments and review feedback. Follow these steps:
Workflow Steps
- Use
gh pr view --json number,headRepository
to get the PR number and repository info - Use
gh api /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{number}/comments
to get PR-level comments - Use
gh api /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number}/comments
to get review comments. Pay particular attention to the following fields:body
,diff_hunk
,path
,line
, etc. If the comment references some code, consider fetching it using eggh api /repos/{owner}/{repo}/contents/{path}?ref={branch} | jq .content -r | base64 -d
- Parse and format all comments in a readable way
- Return ONLY the formatted comments, with no additional text
Comment Format
Format the comments as:
## Comments
[For each comment thread:]- @author file.ts#line: ```diff [diff_hunk from the API response]
quoted comment text
[any replies indented]
If there are no comments, return "No comments found."
## Important Guidelines
1. Only show the actual comments, no explanatory text2. Include both PR-level and code review comments3. Preserve the threading/nesting of comment replies4. Show the file and line number context for code review comments5. Use jq to parse the JSON responses from the GitHub API
## Command Examples
```bash# Get PR detailsgh pr view --json number,headRepository
# Get PR-level commentsgh api /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{number}/comments
# Get review commentsgh api /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number}/comments
# Fetch file content for code referencesgh api /repos/{owner}/{repo}/contents/{path}?ref={branch} | jq .content -r | base64 -d
