How does this skill handle GitHub authentication?

The skill automatically detects authentication tokens from your GH_TOKEN environment variable or via the GitHub CLI 'gh auth token' command.

Does it filter out noisy files like lockfiles?

Yes, fetch-diff is designed to filter out auto-generated files so you can focus on the logic changes that matter during a review.

What is the benefit of adding line numbers to the diff?

Adding line numbers makes it significantly easier to reference specific blocks of code when providing feedback or asking Claude to suggest improvements.

Can I use this for private GitHub repositories?

Absolutely. As long as your GitHub token has read access to the repository, the skill can fetch the diffs.

Fetches and formats GitHub pull request diffs with line numbers and noise filtering for efficient code reviews.

The fetch-diff skill streamlines the code review process by pulling pull request diffs directly into the Claude environment with enhanced formatting. It automatically filters out distractions like auto-generated files and prepends precise line numbers to ensure that feedback and review comments are accurately placed. This skill is essential for developers performing high-quality, contextual code audits and helps identify exact lines for refactoring or commenting without the need to toggle between the terminal and a browser.
