# Address GitHub Comments
## Overview
Efficiently address PR review comments or issue feedback using the GitHub CLI (`gh`). This skill ensures all feedback is addressed systematically.
## Prerequisites
Ensure `gh` is authenticated.
```bash
gh auth status
```
If not logged in, run `gh auth login`.
## Workflow
### 1. Inspect Comments
Fetch the comments for the current branch's PR.
```bash
gh pr view --comments
```
Or use a custom script if available to list threads.
### 2. Categorize and Plan
- List the comments and review threads.
- Propose a fix for each.
- **Wait for user confirmation** on which comments to address first if there are many.
### 3. Apply Fixes
Apply the code changes for the selected comments.
### 4. Respond to Comments
Once fixed, respond to the threads as resolved.
```bash
gh pr comment <PR_NUMBER> --body "Addressed in latest commit."
```
## Common Mistakes
- **Applying fixes without understanding context**: Always read the surrounding code of a comment.
- **Not verifying auth**: Check `gh auth status` before starting.
Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements
Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code
Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - ensures an isolated workspace exists via native tools or git worktree fallback
