# Gitea PR Review Comments
# Gitea PR Review
This skill enables reading PR review comments and posting inline thread replies on Gitea/Forgejo instances.
You are tasked with **addressing** PR review comments by making code changes, then summarizing what was done. This skill drives PR progress, not just conversation.
## Philosophy
**Comments are work items, not conversation starters.**
When a reviewer leaves a comment, they're identifying something that needs attention. This skill:
1. Categorizes comments by actionability
2. Makes code changes to address actionable comments
3. Commits and pushes those changes
4. Posts a single summary comment describing what was done
## Prerequisites
- `tea` CLI configured with a Gitea/Forgejo instance
- Access token from tea config: `~/.config/tea/config.yml`
- Repository must be a Gitea/Forgejo remote (not GitHub)
- **Nix users**: All tools available via nixpkgs (`nix run nixpkgs#tea`)
## Configuration
## Initial Setup
Get the Gitea instance URL and token from tea config:
When this command is invoked:
1. **Parse the input for PR number**:
- If a PR number is provided as argument, use it
- If no PR number, detect from current branch (see PR Detection section)
2. **Verify required tools are available**:
```bash
which tea
```
If tea is missing:
```
Error: `tea` CLI not found.
Please install:
- Nix: nix run nixpkgs#tea
- Other: https://gitea.com/gitea/tea
```
**STOP** if tea is missing.
3. **Extract configuration from tea config**:
```bash
# Read tea config (it's YAML but simple enough to grep)
TEA_CONFIG="$HOME/.config/tea/config.yml"
GITEA_URL=$(grep -A1 'logins:' "$TEA_CONFIG" | grep 'url:' | head -1 | sed 's/.*url: //')
TOKEN=$(grep -A5 'logins:' "$TEA_CONFIG" | grep 'token:' | head -1 | sed 's/.*token: //')
```
If config is missing or invalid:
```
Error: Could not read tea config at ~/.config/tea/config.yml
Please ensure `tea` is installed and configured:
1. Install tea
2. Log in: tea login add --url https://your-gitea-instance --token YOUR_TOKEN
```
**STOP** if config is invalid.
4. **Detect repository info from git remote**:
```bash
REMOTE_URL=$(git remote get-url origin)
# Parse owner and repo from URL (handles both SSH and HTTPS)
OWNER=$(echo "$REMOTE_URL" | sed -E 's#.*[:/]([^/]+)/[^/]+\.git$#\1#')
REPO=$(echo "$REMOTE_URL" | sed -E 's#.*/([^/]+)\.git$#\1#')
```
5. **Ensure we're on the PR branch**:
```bash
CURRENT_BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
# Verify this branch corresponds to the PR
```
6. **Respond with**:
```
Addressing PR review comments for PR #{PR_NUMBER}...
Repository: {OWNER}/{REPO}
Branch: {CURRENT_BRANCH}
Gitea URL: {GITEA_URL}
```
## PR Detection
If no PR number is provided, detect from the current branch:
```bash
# Get the default login URL and token
yq -r '.logins[] | select(.name == "default") | .url' ~/.config/tea/config.yml
yq -r '.logins[] | select(.name == "default") | .token' ~/.config/tea/config.yml
CURRENT_BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
tea pr list --fields index,head --output simple | grep "$CURRENT_BRANCH"
```
Or if you have a specific login name:
```bash
yq -r '.logins[] | select(.name == "YOUR_LOGIN") | .url' ~/.config/tea/config.yml
yq -r '.logins[] | select(.name == "YOUR_LOGIN") | .token' ~/.config/tea/config.yml
If no PR exists for the current branch, use `AskUserQuestion`:
```
No PR found for branch '{CURRENT_BRANCH}'.
Would you like to:
1. Enter a PR number manually
2. Cancel
```
## Commands
## Workflow
### 1. List PR Review Comments
### Step 1: Fetch and Parse Comments
Fetch all reviews and their comments for a PR:
Fetch all reviews and their comments:
```bash
# Set environment variables
GITEA_URL="https://git.johnogle.info"
TOKEN="<your-token>"
OWNER="<repo-owner>"
REPO="<repo-name>"
PR_NUMBER="<pr-number>"
# Get all reviews for the PR
# Fetch reviews (filter out dismissed reviews)
curl -s -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" \
"$GITEA_URL/api/v1/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/reviews" | jq
"$GITEA_URL/api/v1/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/reviews" \
| jq '[.[] | select(.dismissed != true)]'
# Get comments for a specific review
REVIEW_ID="<review-id>"
# For each review, fetch comments
curl -s -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" \
"$GITEA_URL/api/v1/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/reviews/$REVIEW_ID/comments" | jq
"$GITEA_URL/api/v1/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/reviews/$REVIEW_ID/comments"
```
### 2. View All Review Comments (Combined)
**Filter resolved comments**: When processing comments, skip any that have been marked as resolved. Check the `resolver` field in the comment response - if it's not null, the comment has been resolved and should be skipped.
```bash
# Get all reviews and their comments in one view
curl -s -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" \
"$GITEA_URL/api/v1/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/reviews" | \
jq -r '.[] | "Review \(.id) by \(.user.login): \(.state)\n Body: \(.body)"'
# For each review, show inline comments
for REVIEW_ID in $(curl -s -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" \
"$GITEA_URL/api/v1/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/reviews" | jq -r '.[].id'); do
echo "=== Review $REVIEW_ID comments ==="
curl -s -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" \
"$GITEA_URL/api/v1/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/reviews/$REVIEW_ID/comments" | \
jq -r '.[] | "[\(.path):\(.line)] \(.body)"'
done
# Example: Filter to only unresolved comments
jq '[.[] | select(.resolver == null)]'
```
### 3. Reply to Review Comments (Web Endpoint Method)
The Gitea REST API does not support replying to review comment threads. The web UI uses a different endpoint:
If no reviews found or all comments are resolved:
```
POST /{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}/files/reviews/comments
Content-Type: multipart/form-data
No unresolved reviews found for PR #{PR_NUMBER}.
Nothing to address.
```
**STOP** here.
### Step 2: Categorize Comments
For each comment, categorize it as one of:
| Category | Description | Action |
|----------|-------------|--------|
| **actionable** | Requests a code change, addition, or fix | Launch subagent to make change |
| **question** | Asks for clarification or explanation | Include answer in summary |
| **acknowledged** | FYI, self-resolved, or "no action needed" noted | Note in summary |
| **blocked** | Requires external input or is out of scope | Flag for user |
**Categorization heuristics**:
- Contains "add", "change", "fix", "update", "consider adding", "should be" → **actionable**
- Contains "?" or "why", "how", "what" → **question**
- Contains "no need to update", "will be separate", "acknowledged" → **acknowledged**
- Contains "discuss", "later", "out of scope", "blocked by" → **blocked**
Display the categorization:
```
## Comment Analysis
### Actionable (will make changes):
1. {file}:{line} - "{comment_summary}" → Will add nix note to prerequisites
### Questions (will answer in summary):
2. {file}:{line} - "{comment_summary}" → Explain CI token approach
### Acknowledged (no action needed):
3. {file}:{line} - "{comment_summary}" → Reviewer noted separate skill
### Blocked (needs input):
(none)
```
**Required form fields:**
- `reply`: Review ID to reply to
- `content`: The reply message
- `path`: File path
- `line`: Line number
- `side`: `proposed` or `original`
- `single_review`: `true`
- `origin`: `timeline`
- `_csrf`: CSRF token (required for web endpoint)
### Step 3: User Confirmation
**Authentication Challenge:**
This endpoint requires session-based authentication, not API tokens. Options:
Use `AskUserQuestion` to confirm the plan:
#### Option A: Use Browser Session (Recommended)
```
I've categorized {N} comments. My plan:
1. Log in to Gitea in your browser
2. Open browser developer tools and copy cookies
3. Use the session cookies with curl
**Will make changes for:**
- {file}:{line}: {planned_change}
```bash
# First, get CSRF token from the PR page
CSRF=$(curl -s -c cookies.txt -b cookies.txt \
"$GITEA_URL/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/files" | \
grep -oP 'name="_csrf" value="\K[^"]+')
**Will explain in summary:**
- {file}:{line}: {planned_explanation}
# Post the reply
curl -s -b cookies.txt \
-F "reply=$REVIEW_ID" \
-F "content=Your reply message here" \
-F "path=$FILE_PATH" \
-F "line=$LINE_NUMBER" \
-F "side=proposed" \
-F "single_review=true" \
-F "origin=timeline" \
-F "_csrf=$CSRF" \
"$GITEA_URL/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/files/reviews/comments"
**No action needed:**
- {file}:{line}: {reason}
Proceed with this plan?
```
#### Option B: Create Top-Level Comment (Fallback)
Options:
1. **Proceed** - Execute the plan
2. **Modify** - Let user adjust categorization
3. **Cancel** - Exit without changes
If thread replies are not critical, use the API to create a top-level comment:
### Step 4: Address Actionable Comments (Parallel Subagents)
```bash
# Create a top-level comment mentioning the review context
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{\"body\": \"Re: @reviewer's comment on $FILE_PATH:$LINE_NUMBER\n\nYour reply here\"}" \
"$GITEA_URL/api/v1/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/issues/$PR_NUMBER/comments"
For each actionable comment, launch a subagent using the Task tool:
```
Launch Task subagent with:
- subagent_type: "general-purpose"
- prompt: |
You are addressing a PR review comment. Make the requested change and nothing else.
**File**: {file_path}
**Line**: {line_number}
**Comment**: {comment_body}
**Diff context**:
```
{diff_hunk}
```
Instructions:
1. Read the file to understand context
2. Make the minimal change to address the comment
3. Do NOT commit - just make the edit
4. Report what you changed
Be precise. Only change what's needed to address this specific comment.
```
Or use tea CLI:
```bash
tea comment $PR_NUMBER "Re: @reviewer's comment on $FILE_PATH:$LINE_NUMBER
**Important**: Launch actionable comment subagents in parallel when they touch different files. For comments on the same file, run sequentially to avoid conflicts.
Your reply here"
```
Wait for all subagents to complete and collect their results.
### 4. Submit a New Review
### Step 5: Commit and Push
Create a new review with inline comments:
After all subagents complete:
```bash
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"body": "Overall review comments",
"event": "COMMENT",
"comments": [
{
"path": "path/to/file.py",
"body": "Comment on this line",
"new_position": 10
}
]
}' \
"$GITEA_URL/api/v1/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/reviews"
```
Event types: `COMMENT`, `APPROVE`, `REQUEST_CHANGES`
## Workflow Example
### Reading and Responding to Reviews
1. **Set up environment**:
1. **Stage changes**:
```bash
export GITEA_URL=$(yq -r '.logins[] | select(.name == "default") | .url' ~/.config/tea/config.yml)
export TOKEN=$(yq -r '.logins[] | select(.name == "default") | .token' ~/.config/tea/config.yml)
export OWNER="johno"
export REPO="nixos-configs"
export PR_NUMBER="5"
git add -A
```
2. **List all pending review comments**:
2. **Create commit with summary**:
```bash
# Get reviews
curl -s -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" \
"$GITEA_URL/api/v1/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/reviews" | \
jq -r '.[] | select(.state == "REQUEST_CHANGES" or .state == "COMMENT") |
"Review \(.id) by \(.user.login) (\(.state)):\n\(.body)\n"'
git commit -m "Address PR review comments
Changes made:
- {file1}: {change_summary}
- {file2}: {change_summary}
Addresses comments from review by {reviewer}"
```
3. **Get detailed comments for a review**:
3. **Push to remote**:
```bash
REVIEW_ID="2"
curl -s -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" \
"$GITEA_URL/api/v1/repos/$OWNER/$REPO/pulls/$PR_NUMBER/reviews/$REVIEW_ID/comments" | \
jq -r '.[] | "File: \(.path):\(.line)\nComment: \(.body)\nID: \(.id)\n---"'
git push
```
4. **Respond using top-level comment** (most reliable):
```bash
tea comment $PR_NUMBER "Addressing review feedback:
### Step 6: Post Summary Comment
- File \`path/to/file.py\` line 10: Fixed the issue by...
- File \`other/file.py\` line 25: Updated as suggested..."
```
Post a single comment summarizing all actions taken:
```bash
tea comment $PR_NUMBER "$(cat <<'EOF'
## Review Comments Addressed
cc @{reviewer1} @{reviewer2}
**Changes made** (commit {SHORT_SHA}):
- `{file1}:{line}`: {what_was_changed}
- `{file2}:{line}`: {what_was_changed}
**Responses to questions**:
- `{file3}:{line}`: {answer_to_question}
**Acknowledged** (no action needed):
- `{file4}:{line}`: {reason_no_action}
---
*Automated response via /gitea_pr_review*
EOF
)"
```
### Step 7: Final Summary
Display to user:
```
## PR Review Complete
**Commit**: {SHA}
**Changes**: {N} files modified
### Actions Taken:
- [x] {file1}:{line} - Added nix prerequisite note
- [x] {file2}:{line} - Explained CI approach in comment
- [ ] {file3}:{line} - Acknowledged (separate skill)
**Reviewers tagged**: @{reviewer1}, @{reviewer2}
**Comment posted**: {comment_url}
PR URL: {GITEA_URL}/{OWNER}/{REPO}/pulls/{PR_NUMBER}
```
**Note**: When posting the summary comment, tag all reviewers who left comments so they receive notifications about the changes.
## Error Handling
### Subagent failed to make change
If a subagent fails:
```
Warning: Could not address comment on {file}:{line}
Reason: {error}
Options:
1. Skip this comment and continue
2. Retry with manual guidance
3. Abort all changes
```
### Push failed
```
Error pushing changes: {error}
Your changes are committed locally. You may need to:
1. Pull and resolve conflicts: git pull --rebase
2. Push again: git push
```
### No actionable comments
If all comments are questions/acknowledged:
```
No code changes needed.
All comments are either questions or acknowledged items.
Posting summary comment with explanations...
```

## Shell Command Patterns
Claude Code's bash execution has quirks. Use these patterns for reliability:
### curl requests
**DO** - Use single quotes for URL and header separately:
```bash
curl -s 'https://git.example.com/api/v1/repos/owner/repo/pulls/1/reviews' \
-H 'Authorization: token YOUR_TOKEN_HERE' | jq .
```
**DON'T** - Variable expansion in `-H` flag often fails:
```bash
# This may fail with "blank argument" errors
curl -s -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" "$URL"
```
### Iterating over reviews
**DO** - Run separate commands for each review ID:
```bash
echo "=== Review 4 ===" && curl -s 'URL/reviews/4/comments' -H 'Authorization: token ...' | jq .
echo "=== Review 5 ===" && curl -s 'URL/reviews/5/comments' -H 'Authorization: token ...' | jq .
```
**DON'T** - For loops with multiline bodies often fail:
```bash
# This may cause syntax errors
for id in 4 5 6; do
curl -s "URL/reviews/$id/comments"
done
```
### tea comment
**DO** - Use single-quoted string for comment body:
```bash
tea comment 26 '## Summary
Changes made:
- Item 1
- Item 2'
```
**DON'T** - Heredocs may hang or timeout:
```bash
# This may hang indefinitely
tea comment 26 "$(cat <<'EOF'
...
EOF
)"
```
## Limitations
1. **Thread replies**: The Gitea REST API does not support replying directly to review comment threads. This is a known limitation. Workarounds:
- Use top-level comments with context
- Use the web UI manually for thread replies
- Implement session-based authentication to use the web endpoint
1. **Thread replies**: Gitea API doesn't support inline thread replies. We post a single summary comment instead.
2. **CSRF tokens**: The web endpoint for thread replies requires CSRF tokens, which expire and need to be fetched from the page.
2. **Complex changes**: For comments requiring significant refactoring, the subagent may need guidance. The skill will flag these as "blocked" for user input.
3. **Session auth**: API tokens work for REST API but not for web endpoints that require session cookies.
3. **Merge conflicts**: If the branch is behind, you may need to rebase before changes can be pushed.
## Tips
## Example Session
- Always quote file paths and line numbers when responding via top-level comments
- Use `tea pr view $PR_NUMBER --comments` to see all comments
- Use `tea open pulls/$PR_NUMBER` to open the PR in browser for manual thread replies
- Consider using `tea pr approve $PR_NUMBER` after addressing all comments
