Comment

Comment

Process the Claude bot's review comments on a pull request: read them, apply what is valid, explain what is not, then remove the Claude comments that were processed.

Human comments are read and evaluated but are never deleted.

Determining the PR

• If the user passes a PR number as argument (e.g. /comment 123), use it directly.
• Otherwise: gh pr view --json number --jq .number from the current directory. This works in regular branches and worktrees, since git context is per-directory.
• Owner/repo: gh repo view --json nameWithOwner --jq .nameWithOwner

Comments to read

"Comment" is not only the inline code-view comment. Fetch all three kinds:

• Issue comments — the PR conversation body: gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{pr}/comments --paginate
• Review comments — inline, on a diff line: gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr}/comments --paginate
• Reviews — the top-level review body: gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr}/reviews --paginate

Merge all three into one list, sort by created_at, and take the last 3 overall.

Steps

1. Resolve the PR number.
2. Fetch the three comment kinds above and take the last 3 by creation time.
3. For each comment, evaluate whether the suggestion is valid and beneficial.
   • Valid → apply the change.
   • Invalid → state clearly why (wrong assumption, would break something, already handled, out of scope for this PR, etc.).
   • Unclear → ask the user. Do not guess, and do not apply a change whose intent or relevance you are not sure of.
4. Delete each processed comment authored by Claude, whether it was applied or rejected:
   • Issue comment: gh api -X DELETE repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/comments/{id}
   • Review comment: gh api -X DELETE repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/comments/{id}
   • Review: gh api -X DELETE repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr}/reviews/{id}
5. Report a summary: what was applied, what was rejected and why, what was deleted, and what was left on the PR.

Whose comments get deleted

Check the user.login field. Delete only:

• claude-code[bot], or any login containing claude
• github-actions[bot] only if the comment body mentions Claude/claude

Never delete anything else — not human users, not other bots, not other workflows. Be conservative: when unsure who authored a comment, leave it.

A rejected Claude comment is still deleted; the reason for the rejection lives in the summary you give the user, not on the PR.

Rules

• Never post a comment of our own. Do not reply on the PR, do not leave a note explaining what was applied or rejected, do not open a new thread. The best outcome of this process is: the change is made and the originating Claude comment is gone. The summary goes to the user in the terminal, never onto the PR.
• Do not switch to plan mode — you may be running alongside sub-agents.
• Ask permission before applying a fix, and before deleting.
• Only delete a Claude comment you actually processed in this round. Older Claude comments outside the last 3 stay put.
• Human comments are never deleted, even after their suggestion is applied. The author closes them.
