Github Publish Inline Review Comment

GitHub Publish Inline Review Comment

UTILITY SKILL. INVOKES: GitHub PR review tool or known review-thread reply. FOR SINGLE OPERATIONS: one inline PR review comment.

USE FOR:

• Publishing one selected inline review item on a PR diff line.
• Replying to a known existing inline thread when the thread id is available.

DO NOT USE FOR:

• Top-level PR conversation comments; use github-publish-pr-comment.
• Multiple selected review items; use github-publish-review-items.
• Final approve, comment, or request-changes review decisions; use github-submit-review-decision.
• Guessing an ambiguous repo, PR, commit SHA, file path, line, side, or comment body.

Inputs

• Require repo_full_name.
• Require pr_number.
• Require the pinned reviewed commit_id.
• Require the inline target:
  • path
  • line
  • side when needed by the tool
• Require the exact inline comment body.

Workflow

1. Confirm the PR still points at the reviewed head SHA before publishing.
2. Publish the inline comment through the GitHub PR review tool, pinned to commit_id.
3. Keep the review-level body empty unless the user explicitly asked for a top-level summary note.
   • Do not add placeholder text like Posting selected review item ....
4. If the selected item clearly belongs in an existing thread and the thread id is known, prefer replying there over opening a duplicate thread.
5. Return only a short publication status.

Troubleshooting

• If the PR head moved, stop and ask for a fresh local review.
• If GitHub rejects the file line, report the failure and do not retry on a guessed line.

Examples

• Success:
  • Published inline review comment on \path:line` for PR #123 at reviewed head .`
• Failure:
  • Could not publish inline review comment on \path:line` for PR #123: ...`
