Can I view actual code changes in a Pull Request?

Yes, the PR command includes a --diff flag that fetches the code changes, allowing Claude to analyze and comment on the specific modifications.

How does this skill handle extremely long GitHub comment threads?

It provides granular filtering options such as --last, --since, and --min-reactions to ensure Claude only receives the most relevant information, preventing context window overflow.

Does this tool require separate GitHub authentication?

It leverages your existing environment variables (GITHUB_TOKEN) or your local GitHub CLI (gh) authentication status to access data securely.

What are the benefits of the built-in caching system?

The tool uses a local SQLite database to store fetched data, which enables near-instant subsequent queries and performs incremental updates to save on GitHub API rate limits.

It features advanced filtering for comments—including reaction counts, author exclusions, and date ranges—and utilizes an efficient SQLite-based caching system for high-performance incremental updates. Designed for complex workflows, it allows users to perform deep PR analysis including diffs and CI statuses, or conduct code searches across specific repositories, delivering structured data optimized for AI consumption.

Key Features

Comprehensive PR analysis including diffs, commits, and CI check status
Cross-repository search for issues, pull requests, and specific code patterns
2 GitHub stars
Advanced comment filtering by reactions, author, bot-status, and timestamps
Incremental SQLite caching for fast subsequent lookups and reduced API calls
AI-optimized Markdown output with line numbering and structured metadata

Use Cases

Summarizing lengthy GitHub issue threads or catching up on updates since a specific comment
Performing detailed code reviews by pulling PR diffs and review threads into the Claude context
Searching large repositories for specific implementation patterns or existing bug reports
