What it does

Gh Address Comments is an agent skill from JetBrains/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Help address review/issue comments on the open GitHub PR for the current branch using gh CLI; verify gh auth first and prompt the user to authenticate if not logged in.

Its SKILL.md is about 350 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `scripts/fetch_comments.py`).

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Curated agent skills collection verified by JetBrains. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/gh-address-comments”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Inspect comments needing attention
  2. Ask the user for clarification
  3. If user chooses comments

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e0f258b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Gh Address Comments loads about 346 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 152 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~346

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

PR Comment Handler

Guide to find the open PR for the current branch and address its comments with gh CLI. Run all gh commands with elevated network access.

Prereq: ensure gh is authenticated (for example, run gh auth login once), then run gh auth status with escalated permissions (include workflow/repo scopes) so gh commands succeed. If sandboxing blocks gh auth status, rerun it with sandbox_permissions=require_escalated.

1) Inspect comments needing attention

  • Run scripts/fetch_comments.py which will print out all the comments and review threads on the PR

2) Ask the user for clarification

  • Number all the review threads and comments and provide a short summary of what would be required to apply a fix for it
  • Ask the user which numbered comments should be addressed

3) If user chooses comments

  • Apply fixes for the selected comments

Notes:

  • If gh hits auth/rate issues mid-run, prompt the user to re-authenticate with gh auth login, then retry.
