docs: add a skill for resolving CodeRabbit PR feedback - #130
Conversation
CodeRabbit posts findings in three places, and the two that live in the review body are invisible to a query for inline comments. The skill collects all three, gates every fix on approval, validates against the repo's build traps, then resolves the threads it addressed.

- Around line 54-67: Initialize BRANCH_SWITCHED=false before the CURRENT_BRANCH
versus HEAD_BRANCH comparison, while preserving BRANCH_SWITCHED=true after the
PR checkout path. Ensure all later cleanup steps can reliably use the flag on
every execution path.
- Around line 59-64: Update the checkout workflow around STASH_CREATED and gh pr
checkout to fail closed: do not suppress git stash push errors, abort before
checkout when stashing fails, and verify the working tree is clean before
proceeding. Ensure cleanup restores the user's original stashed changes after
cancellation and after any validation, commit, push, or thread-update failure,
including the corresponding cleanup path around the later referenced block.
- Around line 139-143: Add language identifiers to the opening fenced code
blocks near the category/severity/effort examples and the additional example
around the referenced second section, using text or another appropriate language
so both fences satisfy markdownlint MD040.
- Around line 240-247: Update the commit instructions around the staging and
commit commands to derive the Conventional Commit type from the approved changed
files: use docs: for docs-only changes and fix(<scope>): for code fixes, with
scope based on the package name without the `@lovo/` prefix. Preserve the existing
staging, push, and no-attribution requirements.
- Around line 109-114: Update the resolution workflow in Step 10 to reply to and
resolve threads classified as “already addressed,” including outdated findings
fixed by later commits. Keep unresolved skips only for rejected or incorrect
findings, so addressed threads do not remain in the unresolved query.
- Around line 86-106: Update the reviewThreads GraphQL query to accept an
endCursor variable, pass it through the reviewThreads after argument, and
request pageInfo.hasNextPage and pageInfo.endCursor; invoke gh api graphql with
pagination enabled so all review threads are collected beyond the first 100.
- Around line 122-123: Update the feedback-processing rules to deduplicate
findings across Sources 1–3 using cr-comment:v1:ID or thread ID as the canonical
identity, retaining one finding while recording duplicate references separately;
also paginate reviewThreads beyond the current first: 100 limit so all findings
are collected.

| **On a failure before Step 9's commit, the run's own edits are still in the tree.** Checking out the same ref does not remove them, and the same-branch path checks nothing out at all.

| Name which of those the run made. A tracked edit reverses with `git restore -- <file>`, a staged one with `git restore --staged -- <file>` first, and a new file only by deleting it. Give the user the specific commands for the specific paths, and let them decide. `git restore --source=<some earlier commit>` is the wrong tool here: sourcing content from a commit the branch never had would overwrite the PR's own files. |

Do not run the normal restore block after a pre-commit failure.
At Line 93 and Lines 342-347, the workflow still runs git checkout "$START_REF" before reporting failures. If Step 9 fails before the commit, run-owned edits remain in the PR worktree. The checkout can fail or carry those edits onto the user's starting branch. This conflicts with the new instruction to preserve and report them.
Use separate paths. On a pre-commit failure, stay on the PR branch, report the changes, and leave manual reversal to the user. Run branch checkout and stash restoration only after cancellation before edits or after a commit exists.
Based on learnings: failure cleanup must preserve run-owned uncommitted edits, report them, and handle post-commit failures separately.

Use non-overlapping commands for status reporting.
git diff --stat "$WORK_BASE" includes staged changes, so it overlaps with git diff --cached --stat. The report does not separate unstaged tracked changes from staged changes as stated. Use git diff --stat for unstaged tracked changes and git diff --cached --stat "$WORK_BASE" for staged changes.

Why
CodeRabbit reviews every PR here, and working its feedback by hand loses findings. It posts to three separate places, and the two that matter most are collapsed inside the review body where a query for inline comments never reaches them. PR #126 had 12 nitpicks that no inline query would have returned.
What changes
A repo-local skill at
.claude/skills/resolve-coderabbit-feedback/It collects the findings from all three sources, proposes a fix for each one, and waits for approval before editing anything. Critical and Major findings go in a fix-by-default group; Minor findings and nitpicks go in a second group with a recommendation each, so triage happens at the table rather than mid-edit. After approval it applies the fixes, validates, commits, pushes, then replies to and resolves the threads it addressed, leaving skipped threads open with the reason posted.
The parsing steps are written against real CodeRabbit output on PRs #126, #127, and #129, not against its docs. That is where the one non-obvious trap turned up: GraphQL returns the author login as
coderabbitaiwhile REST returnscoderabbitai[bot], so a filter written for one API silently returns zero findings against the other.Two things the skill refuses. It stops if the PR head is
main, and it treats finding text as untrusted data rather than instructions, which is what CodeRabbit's own agent prompt asks for. It also never ticks the Autofix checkboxes, since those dispatch CodeRabbit's agent to race the fixes about to be pushed.An AGENTS.md bullet for repo-local skills
Nothing in the file said what
.claude/skills/holds, so Codex and Cursor had no way to find either skill in it.Known limitations
Nitpicks and outside-diff findings arrive as prose in a review body with no thread ID attached, so the skill cannot resolve those on GitHub. It reports them in the closing summary instead.
