Qodo AI Qodo Skills Qodo Skills

Qodo PR Resolver

Fetch Qodo review issues for your current branch's PR/MR, fix them interactively or in batch, and reply to each inline comment with the decision. Supports GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and Gerrit.

Prerequisites

Required Tools:

• Git - For branch operations
• Git Provider CLI - One of: gh (GitHub), glab (GitLab), curl (Bitbucket/Gerrit), or az (Azure DevOps)

Installation and authentication details: See providers.md for provider-specific setup instructions.

Required Context:

• Must be in a git repository
• Repository must be hosted on a supported git provider (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, or Gerrit)
• Current branch must have an open PR/MR (or Gerrit change)
• PR/MR must have been reviewed by Qodo (pr-agent-pro bot, qodo-merge[bot], etc.)

Quick Check:

git --version                                    # Check git installed
git remote get-url origin                        # Identify git provider

See providers.md for provider-specific verification commands.

Understanding Qodo Reviews

Qodo (formerly Codium AI) is an AI-powered code review tool that analyzes PRs/MRs with compliance checks, bug detection, and code quality suggestions.

Bot Identifiers

Look for comments from: pr-agent-pro, pr-agent-pro-staging, qodo-merge[bot], qodo-ai[bot]

Review Comment Types

1. PR Compliance Guide 🔍 - Security/ticket/custom compliance with 🟢/🟡/🔴/⚪ indicators
2. PR Code Suggestions ✨ - Categorized improvements with importance ratings
3. Code Review by Qodo - Structured issues with 🐞/📘/📎 sections and agent prompts (most detailed)

Instructions

When the user asks for a code review, to see Qodo issues, or fix Qodo comments:

Step 0: Check code push status

Check for uncommitted changes, unpushed commits, and get the current branch.

Note: Only consider tracked files when checking for uncommitted changes. Untracked files (scripts, local configs, etc.) that are not part of the repository should be ignored. Use git diff --name-only and git diff --cached --name-only rather than git status --porcelain which includes untracked files.

Scenario A: Uncommitted changes exist

• Inform: "⚠️ You have uncommitted changes. These won't be included in the Qodo review."
• Ask: "Would you like to commit and push them first?"
• If yes: Wait for user action, then proceed to Step 1
• If no: Warn "Proceeding with review of pushed code only" and continue to Step 1

Scenario B: Unpushed commits exist

(no uncommitted changes)

• Inform: "⚠️ You have N unpushed commits. Qodo hasn't reviewed them yet."
• Ask: "Would you like to push them now?"
• If yes: Execute git push, inform "Pushed! Qodo will review shortly." Record internally JUST_PUSHED = true. Continue to Step 1 (the Wait for Qodo review flow in Step 3a will handle the waiting).
• If no: Warn "Proceeding with existing PR review" and continue to Step 1

Scenario C: Everything pushed

(both uncommitted changes and unpushed commits are empty)

• Proceed to Step 1

Step 1: Detect git provider

Detect git provider from the remote URL (git remote get-url origin).

See providers.md for provider detection patterns. For Gerrit, also check for .gitreview file, port 29418 in remote URL, or googlesource.com — see gerrit.md.

Step 2: Find the open PR/MR

Find the open PR/MR for this branch using the provider's CLI.

See providers.md § Find Open PR/MR for provider-specific commands. For Gerrit, look up the change using the Change-Id from the HEAD commit message — see gerrit.md § Find Open Change.

Step 3: Get Qodo review comments

Get the Qodo review comments using the provider's CLI.

Qodo typically posts both a summary comment (PR-level, containing all issues) and inline review comments (one per issue, attached to specific lines of code). You must fetch both.

See providers.md § Fetch Review Comments for provider-specific commands.

Look for comments where the author is "qodo-merge[bot]", "pr-agent-pro", "pr-agent-pro-staging" or similar Qodo bot name.

Gerrit note: Qodo posts as tagged human comments via /comments with tag: "autogenerated:qodo". Also check change messages (/messages) for the summary comment. Filter by tag field or bot username. See gerrit.md § Fetch Review Comments.

Step 3a: Check if review is ready / Wait for Qodo review

Check if the Qodo review is complete:

• If any comment contains "Come back again in a few minutes" or "An AI review agent is analysing this pull request", the review is still running
• If no Qodo bot comments are found at all, the review hasn't started yet

If the review is not ready (in progress, not started, or we just pushed/created a PR):

1. Ask using AskUserQuestion: "⏳ Qodo review is not ready yet. Would you like to wait for it to complete?"
   • Options: "Wait for review" (Recommended) / "Exit and come back later"
2. If "Exit and come back later": Inform "Run this skill again in a few minutes once Qodo has reviewed the PR." Exit skill.
3. If "Wait for review":
   • Inform: "Monitoring for Qodo review completion (checking every 30 seconds)..."
   • Use the Monitor tool to poll for review completion:
     • description: "Waiting for Qodo review on PR #"
     • timeout_ms: 600000 (10 minutes)
     • persistent: false
     • command: A polling script that runs in a while true; do ... sleep 30; done loop. The script should use the same provider-specific comment-fetch commands from Step 3 (Fetch Review Comments) to check for Qodo bot comments. If Qodo comments are found AND they do not contain "Come back again in a few minutes" or "An AI review agent is analysing this pull request", output REVIEW_COMPLETE and exit. Use || true on API calls for transient failure resilience.
   • When the Monitor emits REVIEW_COMPLETE: Inform "Qodo review is ready!" and return to Step 3 to fetch and parse the review comments normally.
   • If the Monitor times out (10 minutes): Inform "Qodo review hasn't appeared yet. You can run this skill again later." Exit skill.

If the review is ready (Qodo comments found, no "in progress" markers): Proceed directly to Step 3b.

Step 3b: Deduplicate issues

Deduplicate issues across summary and inline comments:

• Qodo posts each issue in two places: once in the summary comment (PR-level) and once as an inline review comment (attached to the specific code line). These will share the same issue title.
• Qodo may also post multiple summary comments (Compliance Guide, Code Suggestions, Code Review, etc.) where issues can overlap with slightly different wording.
• Deduplicate by matching on issue title (primary key - the same title means the same issue):
  • If an issue appears in both the summary comment and as an inline comment, merge them into a single issue
  • Prefer the inline comment for file location (it has the exact line context)
  • Prefer the summary comment for severity, type, and agent prompt (it is more detailed)
  • IMPORTANT: Preserve each issue's inline review comment ID — you will need it later (Step 8) to reply directly to that comment with the decision
• Also deduplicate across multiple summary comments by location (file path + line numbers) as a secondary key
• If the same issue appears in multiple places, combine the agent prompts

Gerrit deduplication: Qodo inline comments contain an Agent Prompt section (rendered as plain text — Gerrit doesn't support expandable blocks) with detailed fix instructions. When deduplicating, preserve the Agent Prompt from each unique finding.

Step 4: Parse and display the issues

• Extract the review body/comments from Qodo's review
• Parse out individual issues/suggestions
• IMPORTANT: Preserve Qodo's exact issue titles verbatim — do not rename, paraphrase, or summarize them. Use the title exactly as Qodo wrote it.
• IMPORTANT: Preserve Qodo's original ordering — display issues in the same order Qodo listed them. Qodo already orders by severity.
• Extract location, issue description, and suggested fix
• Extract the agent prompt from Qodo's suggestion (the description of what needs to be fixed)

Severity mapping

Derive severity from Qodo's action level and position:

1. Action level determines severity range:

   • "Action required" issues → Can only be 🔴 CRITICAL or 🟠 HIGH
   • "Review recommended" / "Remediation recommended" issues → Can only be 🟡 MEDIUM or ⚪ LOW
   • "Other" / "Advisory comments" issues → Always ⚪ LOW (lowest priority)

2. Qodo's position within each action level determines the specific severity:

   • Group issues by action level ("Action required" vs "Review recommended" vs "Other")
   • Within "Action required" and "Review recommended" groups: earlier positions → higher severity, later positions → lower severity
   • Split point: roughly first half of each group gets the higher severity, second half gets the lower
   • All "Other" issues are treated as ⚪ LOW regardless of position

Example: 7 "Action required" issues would be split as:

• Issues 1-3: 🔴 CRITICAL
• Issues 4-7: 🟠 HIGH
• Result: No MEDIUM or LOW issues (because there are no "Review recommended" or "Other" issues)

Example: 5 "Action required" + 3 "Review recommended" + 2 "Other" issues would be split as:

• Issues 1-2 or 1-3: 🔴 CRITICAL (first ~half of "Action required")
• Issues 3-5 or 4-5: 🟠 HIGH (second ~half of "Action required")
• Issues 6-7: 🟡 MEDIUM (first ~half of "Review recommended")
• Issue 8: ⚪ LOW (second ~half of "Review recommended")
• Issues 9-10: ⚪ LOW (all "Other" issues)

Action guidelines:

• 🔴 CRITICAL / 🟠 HIGH ("Action required"): Always "Fix"
• 🟡 MEDIUM ("Review recommended"): Usually "Fix", can "Defer" if low impact
• ⚪ LOW ("Review recommended" or "Other"): Can be "Defer" unless quick to fix; "Other" issues are lowest priority

Output format

IMPORTANT: Use actual Unicode emoji characters (e.g. 🔴, 🟠, 📘, ⛨, ⚙), NOT GitHub-style shortcodes (:red_circle:, :books:, :shield:). Shortcodes do not render in terminal environments.

Display as a markdown table in Qodo's exact original ordering (do NOT reorder by severity - Qodo's order IS the severity ranking):

Qodo Issues for PR #123: [PR Title]

| # | Severity | Issue Title | Issue Details | Type | Action |
|---|----------|-------------|---------------|------|--------|
| 1 | 🔴 CRITICAL | Insecure authentication check | • **Location:** src/auth/service.py:42<br><br>• **Issue:** Authorization logic is inverted | 🐞 Bug ⛨ Security | Fix |
| 2 | 🔴 CRITICAL | Missing input validation | • **Location:** src/api/handlers.py:156<br><br>• **Issue:** User input not sanitized before database query | 📘 Rule violation ⛯ Reliability | Fix |
| 3 | 🟠 HIGH | Database query not awaited | • **Location:** src/db/repository.py:89<br><br>• **Issue:** Async call missing await keyword | 🐞 Bug ✓ Correctness | Fix |

Step 5: Ask user for fix preference

Single-finding shortcut: If exactly one issue was parsed in Step 4, skip this question entirely — "Review each issue" and "Auto-fix all" collapse to the same thing with one finding and are misleading. Proceed directly to Step 6 (manual review) for that single issue, regardless of its Action ("Fix" or "Defer"). Step 6's per-issue prompt always surfaces in single-finding mode, so the user is never silently skipped over.

Otherwise (two or more issues), ask the user how they want to proceed using AskUserQuestion:

Options:

• 🔍 "Review each issue" - Review and approve/defer each issue individually (recommended for careful review)
• ⚡ "Auto-fix all" - Automatically apply all fixes marked as "Fix" without individual approval (faster, but less control)
• ❌ "Cancel" - Exit without making changes

Based on the user's choice:

• If "Review each issue": Proceed to Step 6 (manual review)
• If "Auto-fix all": Skip to Step 7 (auto-fix mode - apply all "Fix" issues automatically using Qodo's agent prompts)
• If "Cancel": Exit the skill

Step 6: Review and fix issues (manual mode)

If "Review each issue" was selected:

• For each issue marked as "Fix" (starting with CRITICAL) — plus, in single-finding mode, the lone issue even if marked "Defer":
  • Read the relevant file(s) to understand the current code
  • Implement the fix by executing the Qodo agent prompt as a direct instruction. The agent prompt is the fix specification — follow it literally, do not reinterpret or improvise a different solution. Only deviate if the prompt is clearly outdated relative to the current code (e.g. references lines that no longer exist).
  • Calculate the proposed fix in memory (DO NOT use Edit or Write tool yet)
  • Present the fix and ask for approval in a SINGLE step:
    1. Show a brief header with issue title and location
    2. Show Qodo's agent prompt in full so the user can verify the fix matches it
    3. Display current code snippet
    4. Display proposed change as markdown diff
    5. Immediately use AskUserQuestion with these options:
       • If the issue's Action is "Fix" (default for CRITICAL/HIGH, and most MEDIUM):
         • ✅ "Apply fix" - Apply the proposed change
         • ⏭️ "Defer" - Skip this issue (will prompt for reason)
         • 🔧 "Modify" - User wants to adjust the fix first
       • If the issue's Action is "Defer" (only reachable in single-finding mode):
         • ⏭️ "Confirm defer" - Keep the deferral (will prompt for reason)
         • ✅ "Apply fix anyway" - Apply the proposed change despite the suggested deferral
         • 🔧 "Modify" - User wants to adjust the fix first
  • WAIT for user's choice via AskUserQuestion
  • If "Apply fix" / "Apply fix anyway" selected:
    • Apply change using Edit tool (or Write if creating new file)
    • GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket / Azure DevOps: Git commit the fix: git add <modified-files> && git commit -m "fix: <issue title>"
    • Gerrit: Do NOT commit yet — stage the change (git add <modified-files>) but wait until all fixes are applied, then amend into a single commit (see Gerrit note below)
    • Confirm: "✅ Fix applied!"
    • Mark issue as completed
  • If "Defer" / "Confirm defer" selected:
    • Ask for deferral reason using AskUserQuestion
    • Record reason and move to next issue
  • If "Modify" selected:
    • Inform user they can make changes manually
    • Move to next issue
• Continue until all in-scope issues are addressed or the user decides to stop
• After all fixes are applied, reply to all Qodo inline comments in one batch (see Step 8)

Gerrit commit strategy: In Gerrit, each commit becomes a separate change. To keep all fixes as a single new patchset on the existing change:

1. Apply all fixes (Edit tool) and stage them (git add)
2. After ALL fixes are done, amend the original commit: git commit --amend --no-edit
3. Push once in Step 9

Do NOT create individual commits per fix for Gerrit.

Important notes

Single-step approval with AskUserQuestion:

• NO native Edit UI (no persistent permissions possible)
• Each fix requires explicit approval via custom question
• Clearer options, no risk of accidental auto-approval

CRITICAL: Single validation only - do NOT show the diff separately and then ask. Combine the diff display and the question into ONE message. The user should see: brief context → current code → proposed diff → AskUserQuestion, all at once.

Example: Show location, Qodo's guidance, current code, proposed diff, then AskUserQuestion with options (✅ Apply fix / ⏭️ Defer / 🔧 Modify). Wait for user choice, apply via Edit tool if approved.

Step 7: Auto-fix mode

If "Auto-fix all" was selected:

• For each issue marked as "Fix" (starting with CRITICAL):
  • Read the relevant file(s) to understand the current code
  • Implement the fix by executing the Qodo agent prompt as a direct instruction. The agent prompt is the fix specification — follow it literally, do not reinterpret or improvise a different solution. Only deviate if the prompt is clearly outdated relative to the current code (e.g. references lines that no longer exist).
  • Apply the fix using Edit tool
  • GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket / Azure DevOps: Git commit the fix: git add <modified-files> && git commit -m "fix: <issue title>"
  • Gerrit: Stage only (git add <modified-files>) — do NOT commit yet
  • Report each fix with the agent prompt that was followed:

    ✅ Fixed: [Issue Title] at [Location] Agent prompt: [the Qodo agent prompt used]

  • Mark issue as completed
• Gerrit: After ALL fixes are applied, amend into one commit: git commit --amend --no-edit
• Reply to all Qodo inline comments in one batch (see Step 8)
• After all auto-fixes are applied, display summary:
  • List of all issues that were fixed
  • List of any issues that were skipped (with reasons)

Step 8: Post summary and reply to comments

REQUIRED: After all issues have been reviewed (fixed or deferred), ALWAYS post a comment summarizing the actions taken, even if all issues were deferred.

See providers.md § Post Summary Comment for provider-specific commands and summary format.

Gerrit: Batch the summary comment AND all inline replies into a single API call. This is more efficient and avoids multiple email notifications. Use the unified review endpoint with both message (summary) and comments (inline replies) — see gerrit.md § Post Summary Comment.

Important resolution rules for inline replies:

• Fixed issues: set "unresolved": false (resolves the thread)
• Deferred issues: set "unresolved": false (resolves the thread — the next Qodo review will re-evaluate)

After posting the summary, resolve the Qodo review comment:

Find the Qodo "Code Review by Qodo" comment and mark it as resolved or react to acknowledge it.

See providers.md § Resolve Qodo Review Comment for provider-specific commands.

If resolve fails (comment not found, API error), continue — the summary comment is the important part.

Step 9: Push to remote

If any fixes were applied (commits were created in Steps 6/7), ask the user if they want to push:

• If yes: git push (for Gerrit: git push origin HEAD:refs/for/<target-branch> — this creates a new patchset on the existing change, matched by the Change-Id in the commit message. See gerrit.md § Push Changes)
• If no: Inform them they can push later with git push

Important: If all issues were deferred, there are no commits to push — skip this step.

Step 9b: Handle draft PR status

Only run this step if DRAFT_PR_CREATED = true (a draft PR was created earlier in this session). Skip entirely if the PR already existed or was created as a regular PR.

• Ask using AskUserQuestion: "We opened this PR as a draft. Would you like to mark it as ready for review, or keep it as a draft?"
  • Options: "Mark as ready for review" / "Keep as draft"
• If "Mark as ready for review": Use provider CLI to mark PR as ready (see providers.md § Mark PR Ready for Review). Inform: "PR marked as ready for review!"
• If "Keep as draft": Inform: "PR will remain as a draft. You can mark it ready later."

Step 10: Show PR URL

After completing all steps, always echo the PR/MR URL to the user so they can easily navigate to it. Use the PR URL detected in Step 2.

Example output: 🔗 PR: https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123 For Gerrit: 🔗 Change: https://<gerrit-host>/c/<project>/+/<change-number>

Special cases

Unsupported git provider

If the remote URL doesn't match GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, or Gerrit, inform the user and exit.

See providers.md § Error Handling for details.

No PR/MR exists

• Inform: "No PR/MR found for branch <branch-name>. A PR is needed to trigger a Qodo review."
• For non-Gerrit providers, ask using AskUserQuestion: "How would you like to proceed?"
  • "Open draft PR" (Recommended) — Create a draft PR since the code isn't finalized yet. Use provider CLI with draft flag (see providers.md § Create PR/MR). Record internally: DRAFT_PR_CREATED = true and save the PR number/ID. Inform "Draft PR created!" then proceed to the Wait for Qodo review flow (Step 3a).
  • "Open PR" — Create a regular (non-draft) PR. Use provider CLI without draft flag (see providers.md § Create PR/MR). Set DRAFT_PR_CREATED = false. Inform "PR created!" then proceed to the Wait for Qodo review flow (Step 3a).
  • "I'll open it manually" — Inform: "No problem! Open the PR yourself, then run this skill again once the PR exists and Qodo has reviewed it." Exit skill.
• For Gerrit, ask: "Would you like me to create a change?" If yes, push with git push origin HEAD:refs/for/<branch> (see gerrit.md § Create Change). Then proceed to the Wait for Qodo review flow (Step 3a). If no, exit skill.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT proceed to Step 3b without a PR/MR. This skill only works with Qodo reviews, not manual reviews.

No Qodo review yet / Review in progress

Handled by Step 3a — proceeds to the Wait for Qodo review flow.

Missing CLI tool

If the detected provider's CLI is not installed, provide installation instructions and exit.

See providers.md § Error Handling for provider-specific installation commands.

Inline reply commands

Used per-issue in Steps 6 and 7 to reply to Qodo's inline comments:

Use the inline comment ID preserved during deduplication (Step 3b) to reply directly to Qodo's comment.

See providers.md § Reply to Inline Comments for provider-specific commands and reply format. For Gerrit, all replies go through a single unified endpoint and can be batched — see gerrit.md § Reply to Comments.

Keep replies short (one line). If a reply fails, log it and continue.
