Rabbit Round

Rabbit Round

Process automated PR review comments systematically. Use this for CodeRabbit, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, Devin, Greptile, and similar bots.

Instructions

1. Get context:

   PR_NUMBER=$(gh pr view --json number -q '.number')
   gh api user --jq '.login'
   git rev-parse HEAD
   

2. Fetch review comments from the PR:

   gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/"$PR_NUMBER"/comments --paginate
   

   Filter for known bot accounts. Do not treat human review comments as bot comments.

3. Triage each bot comment:

   • Accept if it improves correctness, safety, maintainability, or follows repo conventions.
   • Push back if it is incorrect, overreaching, or conflicts with documented conventions.

4. Implement accepted suggestions:

   • make the code changes
   • group related fixes logically
   • run the relevant project checks

5. Reply inline to each bot comment:

   COMMENT_ID="123456789"
   gh api -X POST repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/"$PR_NUMBER"/comments/"$COMMENT_ID"/replies \
     -f body="[response]"
   

   Good response patterns:

   • accepted and implemented
   • agreed, implemented with a small adjustment
   • already addressed in commit {hash}
   • pushing back, with a concrete reason and source or repo convention

6. Never resolve human review threads. For bot threads, resolve only after:

   • the change is implemented, or
   • the pushback is clearly documented

7. Check nit-level comments too. Small ones still matter if they improve clarity or remove avoidable friction.

8. Commit and push if you made changes:

   • use a neutral commit message such as fix: address review comments
   • push to the active PR branch

Decision Guidelines

Accept when the suggestion:

• fixes a bug or real edge case
• improves type safety
• adds missing tests
• aligns with existing repo patterns
• tightens security or validation appropriately

Push back when the suggestion:

• assumes facts not true in this codebase
• conflicts with canonical specs or official sources
• adds complexity for little benefit
• would undo a deliberate, documented decision
• is purely stylistic and inconsistent with the repo
