Paw Review Response

Review Response

Review Comment Workflow

1. Read All Unresolved Comments

• Use GitHub MCP tools to fetch PR comments and conversation threads
• Identify which comments still require work:
  • Check for follow-up commits addressing the comment
  • Check for reviewer replies indicating resolution
  • Skip comments clearly already addressed
• If uncertain whether a comment needs work, include it and ask for clarification

2. Create TODOs for Comments

Create one TODO per comment (group small related comments together):

TODO: Address review comment [link/ID]
- What change is needed
- Which file(s) to modify
- Commit message reference

Grouping guidelines:

• Group comments affecting the same file or section
• Group comments addressing the same concern
• Keep complex comments as separate TODOs
• Each TODO = one focused commit

3. Address Comments Sequentially

Work through TODOs one at a time. For each:

1. Make the changes to address the comment
2. Follow paw-git-operations artifact staging discipline — check artifact lifecycle mode before staging .paw/ files
3. Stage selectively: git add <file1> <file2> (never git add .)
4. Verify staged changes: git diff --cached
5. Commit with message referencing the comment
6. Push/Reply timing: Determined by calling activity skill—some push immediately per-comment, others batch commits and defer push to a verification step

CRITICAL: Complete each TODO's changes and commit before starting the next. Push and reply timing per activity skill instructions.

4. Verify Completion

• Ensure all review comments have been addressed
• Verify no open questions remain
• Run any applicable verification (tests, linting)

Reply Format

Use this format when replying to review comments:

**🐾 [Activity] 🤖:**

[What was changed and commit hash reference]

Activity names by PR type:

• Planning PR: Implementation Planner
• Phase PR: Implementation Reviewer
• Docs PR: Documenter
• Final PR: Implementation Reviewer

Examples:

**🐾 Implementation Planner 🤖:**

Updated Phase 2 to include error handling tests as suggested. See commit abc1234.

**🐾 Implementation Reviewer 🤖:**

Added the missing null check and updated the docstring. Commit def5678.

Commit Message Format

Reference the review comment in commit messages:

Address review comment: [brief description]

[More detail if needed]

Ref: [PR comment URL or ID]

Role Separation

This utility skill handles mechanics (how to commit/push/reply). Activity skills handle domain logic (what changes to make).
