pr-review-loop_skill

Overview

This skill manages the pull-request push-review-fix cycle using Gemini Code Assist, with an automatic fallback to Claude when Gemini is rate-limited. It orchestrates fetching comments, applying fixes or skipping with replies, committing via approved scripts, and triggering repeat review cycles until the PR is ready. It enforces safe git usage by requiring specific helper scripts instead of raw git commands.

How this skill works

The skill polls the PR for unresolved review comments and summarizes them by priority and file. For each comment it proposes a fix or a rationale to skip, posts a reply that can auto-resolve the thread, then commits changes using the provided commit-and-push script. After pushing, it triggers another review cycle and repeats until no new actionable feedback appears. If Gemini is rate-limited, the skill switches to Claude and uses the Claude review script and task tool prompts.

When to use it

• After pushing changes and waiting for CI or reviewer feedback
• When someone says “new reviews available” or “check PR feedback”
• While iterating on reviewer comments to converge the PR
• To monitor CI and review status until merge readiness
• When you want an automated, repeatable review-feedback loop that enforces reply and commit steps

Best practices

• Never run raw git commands; always use the provided commit-and-push.sh script
• Reply to every review comment with Fixed / Won't fix / Deferred / Acknowledged templates
• Be skeptical: evaluate suggestions for correctness, project fit, and complexity before applying
• Use --wait polling to avoid noisy loops; let the tool poll for new comments every 5 minutes when requested
• Track a final verification loop in your task tracker before merging

Example use cases

• You pushed a feature branch and want automated review cycles until reviewers sign off
• Addressing a batch of reviewer comments: propose fixes, commit via the script, trigger another review
• CI failed after a change: fetch comments, fix the failing tests, push with commit-and-push.sh, and re-trigger review
• Gemini quota exceeded: fall back to Claude to generate review suggestions and proceed with the same reply/commit flow
• Final verification loop: run one more review cycle after resolving all threads, then confirm merge readiness
