snits roborev-respond
Record a comment on a roborev code review and close it.
Usage
/roborev-respond <job_id> [message]
Explicit invocation only
Invocation must be explicit: literal personal /roborev-respond, or structured
Claude Code skill selection.
Requests such as “respond to this review” without one of these explicit mechanisms must use
native behavior and must not run roborev.
Sandbox access
roborev uses a local daemon. If a command fails with permission denied, the sandbox may be
blocking access to its loopback port or Unix socket. Retry the same Bash command with
dangerouslyDisableSandbox: true. Do not start or restart the daemon because a
sandboxed status probe cannot reach it.
IMPORTANT
This skill requires you to execute bash commands to record the comment and close the review. The task is not complete until you run both commands and see confirmation output.
These instructions are guidelines, not a rigid script. Use the conversation context. Skip steps that are already satisfied. Defer to project-level CLAUDE.md instructions when they conflict with these steps.
Instructions
When the user invokes /roborev-respond <job_id> [message]:
1. Validate input
If no job_id is provided, inform the user that a job ID is required. Suggest roborev status or roborev fix --list to find job IDs. Discovery surfaces synthesis parents (and non-panel reviews), never individual panel members, so the job ID you comment on and close is the parent.
If a job_id is provided, inspect it before closing:
roborev show --job <job_id> --json
If job.panel_role is "member", do not comment on or close that job.
Resolve the synthesis parent for the same job.panel_run_uuid if it is already
known from the conversation or discovery output; otherwise ask the user for the
synthesis parent ID. Only continue once the resolved job ID is a synthesis
parent or a non-panel review.
2. Record the comment and close the review
If a message is provided, immediately execute:
roborev comment --job <resolved_job_id> "<message>" && roborev close <resolved_job_id>
If the message contains quotes or special characters, escape them properly in the bash command.
If no message is provided, ask the user what they'd like to say, then execute the commands with their comment.
3. Verify success
Both commands will output confirmation. If either fails, report the error to the user. Common causes:
- The daemon is not running
- The job ID does not exist
- The repo is not initialized (suggest
roborev init) - The review is already closed (not an error, but worth noting to the user)
The comment is recorded in roborev's database and the review is closed. View results with roborev show.
Examples
With message provided:
User: /roborev-respond 1019 Fixed all issues
Agent action:
roborev comment --job 1019 "Fixed all issues" && roborev close 1019
Then confirm: "Comment recorded and review #1019 closed."
Without message:
User: /roborev-respond 1019
Agent: "What would you like to say about review #1019?"
User: "The null check was a false positive"
Agent action:
roborev comment --job 1019 "The null check was a false positive" && roborev close 1019
Then confirm: "Comment recorded and review #1019 closed."
