  • List and filter open review comment threads by status or thread ID
  • Read comment details including file paths, line numbers, and author information
  • Make code changes in response to review feedback and suggestions
  • Add or update documentation based on review requests
  • Reply to questions or ask for clarification on unclear comments
  • Resolve threads with summaries describing the changes made

diffity-resolve FAQ

What types of comments should I skip?

Skip general comments (marked with filePath __general__) and threads where the agent is waiting for user input. Process all other comments including [nit] suggestions, [question] tags, and implied requests phrased as questions.

How do I handle unclear review comments?

If you cannot determine what action is requested, reply to the thread asking for clarification using diffity agent reply instead of silently skipping it.

Do I need to make the actual code edits myself?

Yes, you must examine the relevant source file and make the requested changes using the Edit tool, then resolve the thread with a summary of what was changed.

Can I resolve a specific thread instead of all open threads?

Yes, pass the thread-id argument (e.g., /diffity-resolve abc123) to resolve only that thread, or omit it to process all open threads.

How long does it take for resolved status to appear in the browser?

Resolved status will appear within 2 seconds via polling after you run diffity agent list to confirm the changes.

Diffity Resolve Skill

You are reading open review comments and resolving them by making the requested code changes.

Arguments

  • thread-id (optional): Resolve a specific thread by ID instead of all open threads. Example: /diffity-resolve abc123

CLI Reference

diffity agent diff
diffity agent list [--status open|resolved|dismissed] [--json]
diffity agent comment --file <path> --line <n> [--end-line <n>] [--side new|old] --body "<text>"
diffity agent general-comment --body "<text>"
diffity agent resolve <id> [--summary "<text>"]
diffity agent dismiss <id> [--reason "<text>"]
diffity agent reply <id> --body "<text>"
  • --file, --line, --body are required for comment
  • --end-line defaults to --line (single-line comment)
  • --side defaults to new
  • general-comment creates a diff-level comment not tied to any file or line
  • <id> accepts full UUID or 8-char prefix

Prerequisites

  1. Check that diffity is available: run which diffity. If not found, install it with npm install -g diffity.
  2. Check that a review session exists: run diffity agent list. If this fails with "No active review session", tell the user to start diffity first (e.g. diffity or /diffity-diff).

Instructions

  1. List open comment threads with full details:
    diffity agent list --status open --json
    
    If a thread-id argument was provided, filter to just that thread. The JSON output includes the full comment body, file path, line numbers, and side for each thread.
  2. If there are no open threads, tell the user there's nothing to resolve.
  3. For each open thread, check the comments array and the author.type field ("user" or "agent") on each comment: a. Skip general comments (filePath __general__) — these are summaries, not actionable code changes. b. Skip threads where the last comment is an agent reply that asks the user a question (e.g. "Could you clarify...?") and the user hasn't responded yet — the agent is waiting for user input. Still process threads where the agent left the original comment (code suggestion, review feedback, etc.) — those are actionable. c. [nit] comments — these are minor suggestions but still actionable. Resolve them like any other comment. d. [question] comments (from the user) — read the question, examine the relevant code, and resolve the thread with your answer as the summary:
    diffity agent resolve <thread-id> --summary "Your answer here"
    
    e. Comments phrased as questions without an explicit [question] tag (e.g. "should we add X?" or "can we rename this?") are suggestions — treat them as actionable requests and make the change. f. Read the comment body from the JSON output and understand what change is requested. Interpret the intent:
    • If the comment suggests a code change, make the change.
    • If the comment suggests adding documentation, add or update the relevant docs.
    • If the comment asks a question that implies an action (e.g. "should we add X?"), treat it as a request to do that action.
    • If the comment is genuinely unclear and you cannot determine what action to take, reply asking for clarification instead of silently skipping:
      diffity agent reply <thread-id> --body "Could you clarify what change you'd like here?"
      
    g. Read the relevant source file to understand the full context around the commented lines, then make the requested change using the Edit tool. h. After making the change, resolve the thread with a summary:
    diffity agent resolve <thread-id> --summary "Fixed: <brief description of what was changed>"
    
  4. After resolving all applicable threads, run diffity agent list to confirm status.
  5. Tell the user to check the browser — resolved status will appear within 2 seconds via polling.
