# Address GitHub Comments
## Overview
Efficiently address PR review comments or issue feedback using the GitHub CLI (`gh`). This skill ensures all feedback is addressed systematically.
## Prerequisites
Ensure `gh` is authenticated.
```bash
gh auth status
```
If not logged in, run `gh auth login`.
## Workflow
### 1. Inspect Comments
Fetch the comments for the current branch's PR.
```bash
gh pr view --comments
```
Or use a custom script if available to list threads.
### 2. Categorize and Plan
- List the comments and review threads.
- Propose a fix for each.
- **Wait for user confirmation** on which comments to address first if there are many.
### 3. Apply Fixes
Apply the code changes for the selected comments.
### 4. Respond to Comments
Once fixed, respond to the threads as resolved.
```bash
gh pr comment <PR_NUMBER> --body "Addressed in latest commit."
```
## Common Mistakes
- **Applying fixes without understanding context**: Always read the surrounding code of a comment.
- **Not verifying auth**: Check `gh auth status` before starting.
## When to Use
This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
