GitHub Thread Management Skill

Overview

This skill teaches you how to manage GitHub Pull Request review threads. Review threads are conversation containers attached to specific lines of code in a PR diff.

CRITICAL UNDERSTANDING: Replying to a review thread does NOT automatically resolve it. Resolution is a separate GraphQL mutation that must be explicitly called. Many developers assume replying resolves threads - this is incorrect.

Prerequisites

• GitHub CLI (gh) installed and authenticated
• Python 3.8+ for running automation scripts
• Repository collaborator access (required for resolving threads)
• GraphQL API access
