Load Unresolved PR Review Comments as Parallel Tasks

Load ONLY open/UNRESOLVED PR review threads and rewrite them into grouped markdown task files under `.specs/comments/*.md`, each safe for a separate parallel agent to implement with no overlap.

Critical Guidelines

• You MUST load ONLY threads where the resolved state is false. Skip resolved threads.
• You MUST rewrite each comment as an actionable TASK requirement, not a summary. Preserve substance (code suggestions, exact instructions) verbatim.
• You MUST NOT post, reply to, or modify anything on GitHub. This skill is read-only against the API.
• You MUST group comments so each file is independently implementable with NO duplication across files.

Step 0: Verify what tools are available

1. Check if GitHub CLI is installed and authenticated:

   gh auth status

2. Check if the GitHub MCP server is available:

   mcp__MCP_DOCKER__pull_request_read

or simular command without `MCP_DOCKER` prefix, if installed directly.

• if both are available, use any that have enough accesses to the repository.
• if github mcp server avaiable but have different structure, adjust in order to fit the expected structure.
• if none is available, try to load directly through curl in case if it is public repository. If it is private, ask user to install GitHub CLI or GitHub MCP server.
• if MCP server not installed, but github cli is installed, but not authenticated, ask user to run `gh auth login` to authenticate.

Step 1: Resolve the Target PR

• An explicit PR argument ALWAYS takes precedence over current-branch resolution. If a PR number or URL was passed, use it (a URL like `https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/pull/{n}` → number `{n}`) and do NOT consult the current branch.
• Otherwise default to the PR of the CURRENT branch:

gh pr view --json number,url,headRefName   # current branch's PR

• Resolve repo owner/name: `gh repo view --json owner,name`.
• If no PR exists for the branch, `gh pr view` errors with "no pull requests found" — STOP and report that no PR is associated with the branch (ask for a PR number/URL).

Step 2: Retrieve UNRESOLVED Comments

Resolved/unresolved is a GraphQL `reviewThreads { isResolved }` concept — the REST `/pulls/{n}/comments` endpoint does NOT expose it. Use one of the two approaches below; if the primary is unavailable, fall back to the other.

Primary: gh CLI (GraphQL)

Filter `isResolved == false` directly in the jq:

gh api graphql -f query='
query($owner:String!,$repo:String!,$pr:Int!){
  repository(owner:$owner,name:$repo){
    pullRequest(number:$pr){
      reviewThreads(first:100){
        nodes {
          isResolved
          isOutdated
          path
          line
          startLine
          originalLine
          comments(first:50){
            nodes { author{login} body diffHunk url }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}' -F owner=OWNER -F repo=REPO -F pr=PR_NUMBER \
  --jq '[.data.repository.pullRequest.reviewThreads.nodes[]
         | select(.isResolved==false)
         | {path, isOutdated,
            line: (.line // .startLine // .originalLine),
            comments: [.comments.nodes[]
             | {author: .author.login, url, body, diffHunk}]}]'

This returns each unresolved thread with its file `path`, an `isOutdated` flag, a usable `line`, and ordered comments (author, body, permalink `url`, `diffHunk`).

IMPORTANT: For OUTDATED threads `line` is `null` (the diff moved). The jq above already falls back `line // startLine // originalLine`, so `line` is never null when any anchor exists. When ALL three are null, omit the `:<line>` segment entirely in the template — never render `path:null`.

Fallback: GitHub MCP

If the GitHub MCP server (`MCP_DOCKER`) is available, use the `mcp__MCP_DOCKER__pull_request_read` tool with `method: "get_review_comments"`:

mcp__MCP_DOCKER__pull_request_read
  method: "get_review_comments"
  owner: "OWNER"
  repo: "REPO"
  pullNumber: PR_NUMBER
  perPage: 100

It returns `review_threads[]`, each with `is_resolved`, `is_outdated`, `is_collapsed` (all snake_case — verified against this tool's response) and `comments[]` (`body`, `path`, `author`, `html_url`). Keep only threads where `is_resolved` is `false`. Note the MCP comment objects expose `path` but NOT a line number, so use the `html_url` as the location anchor. Paginate with `after: <endCursor>` while `pageInfo.hasNextPage` is true.

Step 3: Group and Rewrite as Tasks

Convert unresolved threads into focused task files for parallel agents.

Deduplicate FIRST (before grouping): if two or more threads request the same change at the same `path` (and same/overlapping line), or carry an identical suggested fix, collapse them into ONE requirement. Do not emit a separate line item per duplicate thread — this matters most in the nitpick file where repeated trivial suggestions cluster.

Rewrite rules per thread:

• Drop conversation framing and author names. Output a task, not a transcript.
• If a HUMAN reviewer left feedback, write THAT as the requirement.
• If only a bot/AI suggestion exists (Claude, CodeRabbit, Copilot, etc.), write that fix suggestion as the requirement.
• Preserve substance — do NOT summarize away code blocks, suggested diffs, or exact wording.
• Add context: a short issue description and a link to the file/line (the comment `url`/`html_url`, plus `path:line`) when available. If `line` is null (outdated/unanchorable thread), write just `path` with no `:line` segment and note it is outdated.

Before/after (lock in "rewrite as task, do not summarize"):

• Raw thread (bot): "commands is incorrect, real commands is more like ```/add-task /plan-task
