Respond to VCS Issue/PR/MR

Post a response to a GitHub issue/PR or GitLab issue/MR.

Provider detection: Check the URL or remote:

  • If GitHub → use gh issue comment / gh pr comment
  • If GitLab → use glab issue note / glab mr note

Arguments

  • issue-or-pr-number-or-url: Either a number (e.g., 123) or a full URL

Workflow

  1. Parse the input — if given a URL, extract owner, repo, type (issue/PR), and number. If just a number, determine type from current repo context.
  2. Ensure repo is cloned to /workspace/personal/<repo-name> (clone with gh repo clone if needed).
  3. Get full context — read the original description and all comments in the thread.
  4. Understand what's being asked — if this is from @agent-swarm, focus on what was asked in that mention.
  5. Formulate and post your response using gh issue comment / gh pr comment (or glab equivalents).

Decision Framework

  • What specific question or request needs addressing?
  • Do you need to provide code examples?
  • Should you ask clarifying questions?
  • Is this something you can resolve, or do you need human input?

Tips

  • Check if there's already a PR addressing an issue before responding
  • For complex requests, acknowledge receipt and outline your plan
  • If you've completed work, link to the relevant PR or commit
