What kind of files does the skill filter out?

The skill is designed to filter out auto-generated files, such as lockfiles and compiled assets, that typically clutter diffs and aren't relevant for logic reviews.

Does it work with private GitHub repositories?

Yes, it uses your local GH_TOKEN environment variable or the token from 'gh auth' to access any repository you have permission to view.

Why are line numbers added to the diff output?

Line numbers are added to make it easier to reference specific locations in the code when generating review comments or discussing changes with team members.

How do I use the fetch-diff skill?

You can use the skill by running 'uv run skills fetch-diff ' within your Claude Code environment to retrieve a formatted diff.

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

关于

The fetch-diff skill enhances the code review workflow by retrieving pull request data directly from GitHub. It simplifies the review process by automatically filtering out irrelevant auto-generated files and prepending line numbers to the diff output. This allows Claude or human developers to pinpoint specific lines of code for comments, suggestions, or analysis without the clutter typical of raw git diffs. It is particularly useful for teams looking to automate technical debt assessments or perform rapid peer reviews using AI-assisted tools.
