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.
