Monitoring uses the Monitor tool — a single persistent background watch that emits
one tagged stdout line per new event for BOTH CI checks and PR comments. Each line
arrives as a notification across turns, so react to events instead of blocking on a
manual while true loop.
Review comments on a PR typically come from other agents (automated linters, code-review
bots) and human reviewers. They arrive on no fixed schedule, so pick a poll interval matched
to the PR's size and pass it as INTERVAL (in seconds) to the script below.
| PR size | Lines changed (additions+deletions) | INTERVAL |
|---|---|---|
| Small | < 200 | 180 (3 min) |
| Medium | 200–1000 | 300 (5 min, recommended default) |
| Large | > 1000 | 480 (8 min) |
Read size via gh pr view <PR> --repo <REPO> --json additions,deletions and pick the row.
Launch one Monitor with persistent: true (PR reviews arrive on no fixed schedule).
The command below emits:
[ci] <name>: <bucket> once per check reaching a terminal bucket (pass/fail/cancel/skipping)[comment] issue node=<id> id=<n> @<user>: <body> for new issue-level comments[comment] inline node=<id> id=<n> @<user> <path>:<line>: <body> for new inline review comments[comment] review node=<id> id=<n> @<user> [<STATE>]: <body> for new review summaries (approve / request-changes / comment)Every [comment] line carries two IDs so the closeout steps never need a second API fetch:
node=<id> — the comment's GraphQL node_id, used by minimizeComment (hide) and to match
review threads for resolveReviewThread.id=<n> — the REST numeric id, used by the /pulls/$PR/comments/<id>/replies endpoint to
reply to accepted/rejected inline comments. (For review summaries, id is the review's id,
not a comment id — it does not feed the replies endpoint.)The script lives at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/review-pr/scripts/review-loop.sh (executable, #!/usr/bin/env bash). The skill runs in the PR's repository cwd, not the plugin dir, so the bare path scripts/review-loop.sh does NOT resolve — always address the script by its absolute plugin path.
Run it via the Monitor tool — it reads PR, REPO, and INTERVAL from env
(or --pr/--repo/--interval flags) and emits the tagged lines above.
# From the skill, launch under a persistent Monitor:
PR=<pr-number> REPO=<owner>/<repo> INTERVAL=<sec> \
bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/review-pr/scripts/review-loop.sh
Behavior notes:
since is seeded to the PR's creation time (not launch time), so comments posted
before the skill started are surfaced on poll 1. It advances to now after each poll.node_id (GitHub's ?since= is inclusive, so a comment
posted in the boundary second could otherwise re-emit).submitted_at filter and deduped by node_id — the old
client-side submitted_at > since string compare dropped reviews posted in the launch
second.|| true / 2>/dev/null on every API call keeps one transient failure from killing
the watch; INTERVAL is floored at 60s.Run via the Monitor tool with persistent: true and a specific description
(e.g. "CI + new comments on PR #<n> (5m poll)"). Stop it with TaskStop when done — never
leave it running once the PR is settled.
CRITICAL: Comments arriving on the PR are mostly from other agents and human reviewers, not from you. They are suggestions to consider, not orders to apply. Default to skepticism: verify each claim against the diff, and adopt only the comments that are demonstrably correct and safe. Rejecting a comment (with a one-line reason) is the correct and expected outcome for noise, false positives, or context misunderstandings.
The watch ends only when every comment received so far has been reflected on (triaged, replied to, or fixed) and none remain worth adopting — not merely when the comment queue is temporarily empty. Other agents may post more comments later.
Each emitted line is a notification. The Monitor keeps running while you act, so apply fixes, push, and let the same watch re-emit the resulting CI lines.

[comment] batch — spawn independent triage agentCRITICAL: Never evaluate comments in the main conversation. The main loop authored the PR and is biased — it will either defensively reject criticism or over-correct to please reviewers. Both failure modes are harmful. Instead, spawn an independent review-triage agent with a clean context.
Why independent evaluation:
Triage agent prompt template:
You are a skeptical code reviewer evaluating PR comments on behalf of the PR author.
You did NOT write this code. You have no attachment to it.
The comments below come from OTHER agents (automated linters, code-review bots) and
human reviewers. They are suggestions to CONSIDER, not orders to apply. Default to
skepticism — most automated review comments are noise, false positives, or context
misunderstandings. You do NOT have to adopt them.
Your job: for each comment below, independently verify whether it is correct and
worth applying. Rejecting a comment (with a one-line reason) is the expected outcome
for anything that is wrong, overzealous, or would harm the code.
Context:
- PR diff: <paste relevant diff sections via `git diff main...HEAD -- <files>`>
- Comments to evaluate: <paste all [comment] lines from this batch>
For EACH comment, return one of:
- `fix` — the claim is verified correct AND the suggested fix is safe to apply
- `reject <reason>` — the claim is wrong, overzealous, or the fix would be harmful
- `escalate` — design disagreement, scope change, or needs human judgment
Evaluation criteria (ALL must be true for `fix`):
1. Points to a specific file/line or names a concrete change
2. The claim is actually correct when you read the diff (verify it!)
3. The fix does not change behavior or API surface
4. The fix would not introduce worse problems than it solves
5. Consistent with the surrounding code style and project conventions
Common reasons to REJECT:
- Comment says "use const not let" but the variable IS reassigned
- Comment says "add a test" for internal implementation detail
- Comment says "remove this comment" but it explains non-obvious logic
- Comment enforces a style preference that conflicts with project conventions
- Comment misunderstands the code's purpose or context
- Comment is a generic linter false-positive (unused variable that IS used downstream)
- Comment is from an automated bot applying a generic rule that does not fit this code
Be terse. One line per comment, verdict first.
Verdict format (one line per comment):
<comment-id or file:line>: fix
<comment-id or file:line>: reject <one-line reason>
<comment-id or file:line>: escalate
After the triage agent returns:
fix verdictsreject comment explaining why it was declinedescalate verdict with comment body + author + file contextfix changes together in one roundfix
that you applied and pushed, OR a reject you replied to with a reason), hide it as
OUTDATED and resolve its thread. This keeps the PR review clean: only genuinely open
comments stay visible. See "Closing out resolved comments" below for the exact commands.
escalate comments stay open until the user decides.Apply the validated fixes, commit and push them via the /git:commit-and-push skill (Skill tool), then acknowledge each. The reply endpoint depends on comment type — the /pulls/$PR/comments/<id>/replies endpoint ONLY accepts inline review-comment ids; using it for an issue-level comment or a review summary hits the wrong resource and fails:
# Reply to an accepted/rejected INLINE review comment (id=<n> from the emitted line).
gh api repos/$REPO/pulls/$PR/comments/<comment-id>/replies -f body="Fixed in <commit-sha>." # accepted
gh api repos/$REPO/pulls/$PR/comments/<comment-id>/replies -f body="<rejection reason>" # rejected
# Reply to an ISSUE-LEVEL comment — there is no reply endpoint; post a new PR
# issue comment (the `id=<n>` from the emitted line can be referenced in the body
# but is not used in the URL).
gh pr comment "$PR" --repo "$REPO" --body="Re: <rejection reason or fix summary>"
# REVIEW SUMMARIES have no reply endpoint at all — skip the reply. If a summary
# raises a point worth addressing, reply to its inline sub-comments (handled as
# inline above) or post a single summary issue comment via `gh pr comment`.
When a comment is fully addressed (fixed-and-pushed, or rejected with a reply), hide and
resolve it so the PR review only shows what is still open. Both use GraphQL via gh api graphql,
keyed on the comment's node_id (GitHub's node_id, NOT the REST numeric id).
Minimize (hide) a comment — works on issue-level AND inline review comments:
# $NODE_ID = the comment's node_id (from .node_id in the REST responses above)
gh api graphql -f query="mutation { minimizeComment(input: {subjectId: \"$NODE_ID\", classifier: OUTDATED}) { minimizedComment { isMinimized } } }"
Resolve an inline review comment's thread — inline comments only; issue-level comments have no thread. Resolving requires the thread node ID, which is NOT the comment node_id. Resolve only the thread containing each top-level inline comment you addressed (skip reply comments — their thread is the parent's). Look up the thread IDs once per PR, then resolve:
# 1. Fetch every review thread with its node ID, line, path, and the first comment's
# GraphQL `id` — which equals the REST `node_id` you just triaged on, so you can match
# each thread to the comment node_ids from the [comment] batch. Loop on the cursor:
# `first:100` alone would truncate at 100 threads (bot-heavy PRs can exceed that),
# leaving addressed comments beyond the first page unresolvable.
threads=""
cursor=""

# `threads` now holds one JSON thread object per line; match by comments[0].id (== node_id).
# 2. For each thread whose first comment you fully addressed, resolve it:
gh api graphql -f query="mutation { resolveReviewThread(input: {threadId: \"$THREAD_ID\"}) { thread { isResolved } } }"
Order per comment: for inline comments, reply first, then resolve the thread, then minimize
the comment (minimize-after-resolve is fine; minimizing a comment does not resolve its thread).
For issue-level comments, reply then minimize (no thread to resolve). Do NOT hide or resolve
escalate comments — they stay open for the user.
[comment] ambiguous — PushNotification and reportAmbiguous when ANY are true: questions a design decision; requests a scope change or new feature; unclear intent; needs business context not in the diff; multiple valid readings.
Examples: "Why not use X instead of Y?", "This feels over-engineered", "Can we also handle Z?", "I'm not sure this is the right approach".
For these: send a PushNotification (the user may have stepped away), report the comment body + author + file context, and let the user decide. Do NOT reply to or guess at these.
