# pr-threads-resolve

Resolves every unresolved review thread on the current branch's PR in one pass. Handy once the feedback is handled and only the unresolved badges are left.

## What it does

The skill drives the `gh-pr-review` extension for the GitHub CLI. It first checks whether the extension is installed and installs it if not. Then it reads the PR number for the current branch and the repo slug, and substitutes those literal values into every later call.

Next it lists the unresolved threads with file, line and comment text, and asks which ones to resolve. You can confirm all of them or pick a subset. Resolved threads get a summary at the end.

For the bulk path there is a ready pipeline: list threads with `--unresolved`, pull the `PRRT_...` ids out with `jq`, and pipe each one into `gh pr-review threads resolve`. Every subcommand needs both `--pr <number>` and `--repo <owner/repo>` — drop either and the call fails. That is why the skill tells you to look up the PR context once at the start and reuse the numbers and slugs.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add posit-dev/skills --skill pr-threads-resolve -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/pr-threads-resolve/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/pr-threads-resolve/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add posit-dev/skills --skill pr-threads-resolve -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/pr-threads-resolve/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add posit-dev/skills --skill pr-threads-resolve -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/pr-threads-resolve/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install posit-dev/skills pr-threads-resolve
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/pr-threads-resolve/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add posit-dev/skills --skill pr-threads-resolve -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/posit-dev/skills --path github/pr-threads-resolve
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/pr-threads-resolve/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add posit-dev/skills --skill pr-threads-resolve -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/posit-dev/skills/tree/HEAD/github/pr-threads-resolve/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- clear every review thread on the current branch's PR
- drop the unresolved status after the edits are in
- resolve a chosen subset and leave contested threads open
- see which reviewer comments are still hanging on the PR
- feed the thread list through `jq` and `xargs`

## Example prompts
- resolve all unresolved review threads on this branch's PR
- list the unresolved threads and ask me which to resolve
- resolve only the threads in `src/api.ts`

description: Bulk resolve unresolved PR review threads on the current branch’s PR — typically after threads have been addressed manually or via /pr-threads-address

## Prerequisites

### gh pr-review extension

Before using this command, check if the gh pr-review extension is installed:

```bash
gh extension list | grep -q pr-review || gh extension install agynio/gh-pr-review
```

### Resolve PR context first

Every `gh pr-review` subcommand requires both `--pr <number>` and `--repo <owner/repo>` — do not omit either. Look the values up once at the start of the workflow and substitute the literal numbers and slugs into every later command.

Get the PR number for the current branch:

```bash
gh pr view --json number -q .number
```

Get the repository slug:

```bash
gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q .nameWithOwner
```

Then pass the resulting values directly — e.g. `--pr 42 --repo posit-dev/skills` — on every subsequent `gh pr-review` call in this workflow (list, resolve, view, reply).

## Workflow

1. Fetch and display all unresolved PR review threads
2. Show thread details (file, line, comment text)
3. Ask for confirmation or allow selective resolution
4. Resolve the confirmed threads
5. Report back with a summary of resolved threads

## CLI Reference

### List Review Threads

```bash
gh pr-review threads list --pr <number> --repo <owner/repo>
```

Filter with `--unresolved` or `--resolved`.

### Resolve / Unresolve Threads

```bash
gh pr-review threads resolve --thread-id <PRRT_...> --pr <number> --repo <owner/repo>
gh pr-review threads unresolve --thread-id <PRRT_...> --pr <number> --repo <owner/repo>
```

### Bulk Resolve Example

Substitute the actual PR number and repo slug resolved in "Resolve PR context first" — the `42` / `owner/repo` below are placeholders.

```bash
gh pr-review threads list --pr 42 --unresolved --repo owner/repo | \
  jq -r '.threads[].id' | \
  xargs -I {} gh pr-review threads resolve --thread-id {} --pr 42 --repo owner/repo
```
