nodecode-pr-studio

PR Studio: review GitHub pull requests from the chat — the cross-repo inbox, one PR read whole, its diff and threads, then comments, replies and reviews. A Nodecode rewrite of Murali-lns/hermes-pr-studio by Murali-lns.

The original is a pane beside the chat in Hermes Desktop: it runs the user's own gh login, paints the inbox, the diff and the threads, and hands a review comment to the agent in one click. This cell keeps what the pane computes and gives it to the model instead of a window, through six tools and /prs.

Tool	What it does
`pr_inbox`	Open pull requests grouped as Needs your review, Your pull requests and Involves you — all of GitHub, or one repository — one row each: repo, number, age, author, draft, review decision, title.
`pr_show`	One PR whole: size, branches, head, review decision, mergeable state, labels, checks with the failing ones named, description, commits, and the conversation with each review's state.
`pr_diff`	The unified diff, a churn line a file first, then the patch — cut at `max_chars`, so one file at a time when it is long. The line numbers a review comment takes are the new file's.
`pr_threads`	The review threads already on the PR: file, line, side, resolved or outdated, each comment, and the comment id a reply takes.
`pr_comment`	A comment on the conversation, or — with `reply_to` — a reply inside an existing thread.
`pr_review`	One review: comment, approve or request changes, with comments on lines of the diff.

There is also /prs [owner/name], which prints the inbox for a person.

Get it

Tell the agent "add the pr-studio cell", or run nodecode add nc://pr-studio.

Set it up

Nothing to configure: the cell runs the gh you already have, in the account you already signed in with (gh auth status shows it). It holds no token, reads none, and contacts nothing itself — gh authenticates itself.

The pr-studio section has defaults worth knowing:

"pr-studio": {
  "gh": "gh",              // the program to run: its name on PATH, or a path
  "limit": 10,             // rows per inbox group
  "events": 25,            // conversation entries pr_show shows
  "max_chars": 30000,      // the most text one call answers
  "read_only": false,      // true refuses every comment, reply and review
  "timeout_seconds": 30    // one gh call's ceiling
}

Use it

Ask about what is waiting on you:

"What pull requests need my review?"
"What is in my PR inbox for nodecode-ai/cells?"

Ask for a read before an opinion:

"Read PR 42 in o/r and tell me if the retry loop is right."
"Show me the diff of #42 one file at a time — start with src/app.lisp."
"Which review threads on #42 are still open, and what did they say?"

Ask for the answer on GitHub, when you want it there:

"Reply to the thread about the nil guard on #42 that it is guarded above."
"Comment on #42 that we will take it after the release."
"Submit the review: comment, one nit on src/app.lisp line 42, and approve."

Every write happens only when you ask, and the cell names what it posted. With read_only set, every write is refused before gh runs. Run /prs to read the inbox yourself, and (help :pr-studio) for the primer the model reads.
