Pr Comment

pr-comment

Add a specific, targeted comment to a pull request — on a specific line, a specific file, or as a general PR comment. The agent batches all your comments into a single pending review and submits once.

When to Use It

• Leaving feedback on specific lines of a PR
• Asking a clarifying question about a particular change
• Requesting a specific change before approving
• Adding a note to a PR thread for the author

How to Launch It

In GitHub Copilot Chat:

/pr-comment owner/repo#123 "Your comment text here"

With line targeting:

/pr-comment owner/repo#123 src/auth.ts:47 "JWT secret should have a fallback"

What to Expect

1. Parse comment intent — Identifies target PR, target file/line (if specified), and comment content
2. Classify priority — CRITICAL / IMPORTANT / SUGGESTION / NIT / PRAISE based on content
3. Build pending review — Adds to a pending review batch (never posts immediately as isolated comments)
4. Preview and confirm — Shows you exactly what will be posted and asks for confirmation
5. Submit review — Posts all batched comments as one review with a summary verdict

Comment Priority Classification

Label	Auto-detected when content contains...
CRITICAL	security, vulnerability, data loss, breaking
IMPORTANT	bug, error, incorrect, missing check
SUGGESTION	consider, alternatively, could
NIT	minor, style, naming, whitespace
PRAISE	great, well done, nice pattern

Sample Flow

You: /pr-comment owner/repo#123 src/auth.ts:47 "JWT secret will be undefined if env var missing — this will accept all tokens"

Agent: Comment preview:
  File: src/auth.ts, line 47
  Priority: CRITICAL
  Text: "JWT secret will be undefined if env var missing — this will accept all tokens"

Submit? (yes/no/edit)

You: yes

Agent: Comment posted to #123 as part of pending review.
  Use /review-pr to submit the full review when ready.

Important Behavior

The agent never posts a comment without your confirmation. All comments go into a pending review and are submitted together — not as scattered inline replies — which is consistent with GitHub's review model.

Example Variations

/pr-comment owner/repo#123 "Overall this looks good, just one concern"
/pr-comment #123 src/utils.ts:88 "This function name is misleading"
/pr-comment #123 nit: "extra blank line on line 22"
/pr-comment #123 praise: "Great test coverage on the edge cases"
