Amia Github Thread Management

GitHub Thread Management Skill

Overview

Manage GitHub PR review threads: list, reply, resolve, and batch-resolve. Replying to a thread does NOT auto-resolve it -- resolution requires a separate GraphQL mutation.

Prerequisites

• GitHub CLI (gh) installed and authenticated
• Python 3.8+ for automation scripts
• Repository collaborator access (required for resolving)
• GraphQL API access

Instructions

1. List unresolved threads: Run amia_get_review_threads.py --unresolved-only
2. Decide action per thread: Reply only (needs clarification), resolve only (code speaks for itself), or reply+resolve (explain and close)
3. Execute: Run the appropriate script with required parameters
4. Verify: Check JSON output success field
5. Track: Re-run listing to confirm all threads addressed

Checklist

Copy this checklist and track your progress:

• List unresolved threads with amia_get_review_threads.py --unresolved-only
• Determine action per thread (reply / resolve / both)
• For implemented changes: resolve (optionally with reply via --and-resolve)
• For clarification needed: reply only (keep open)
• For batch operations: use amia_resolve_threads_batch.py
• Verify each operation via JSON output
• Re-run listing to confirm completion
• Check for unreplied comments with amia_get_unaddressed_comments.py

Output

Output discipline: All scripts support --output-file <path>. With flag: JSON to file, summary to stderr. Without: JSON to stdout.

Error Handling

Exit 1: bad params. Exit 2-4: API errors. See detailed guide in Resources.

Examples

Example: Reply and Resolve

# List unresolved threads
python3 scripts/amia_get_review_threads.py --owner myorg --repo myrepo --pr 123 --unresolved-only

# Reply and resolve in one command
python3 scripts/amia_reply_to_thread.py \
  --thread-id PRRT_xyz \
  --body "Fixed by refactoring validation logic" \
  --and-resolve
# Output: {"success": true, "commentId": "...", "resolved": true}
