Address code review feedback without handing over the conversation

I like having an agent help with pull request reviews. It can read the threads, trace the code, make the fixes, and draft a response. I still want to read that response before it appears under my name.

I built address-pr-review for that handoff. It's an agent skill with a small local app for reviewing the work before anything is posted to GitHub.

On a branch with an open PR, the agent reads unresolved review threads and comments, commits the fixes it agrees with, and drafts a reply to each item. The app shows the original comment beside the diff, what the agent changed, why, and what it proposes to say.

You can edit a reply, mark it to send, skip it, or ask the agent to take another pass. If you send an item back, the agent reworks it and opens the app again with your other decisions intact. Once you approve the round, it pushes the fixes and posts exactly the replies you approved.

That last part matters to me. Review feedback is a conversation with another person. I want help doing the work, and I want a chance to check both the code and my words before they leave my machine. At Alley, we have decided that all feedback on a pull request or issue should be written by a human. If another human is reviewing your code, it's the least you can do to to show the other person respect. It keeps a feeling a humanity in our more automated development lifecycle we have become accustomed too this year.

To try it, install the skill:

1npx skills add srtfisher/address-pr-review

You'll need Node 20 or later and an authenticated GitHub CLI. Then ask your agent to work through the feedback on an open PR, or run /address-pr-review.

I hope you enjoy it. It has made my life easier.
