cc-pr-reviewer 0.5.0

Textual TUI that lists GitHub PRs awaiting your review and hands them off to Claude Code.

cc-pr-reviewer

A small Textual TUI that lists every open GitHub PR where you are a requested reviewer, and hands the selected PR off to Claude Code with the PR Review Toolkit plugin driving the review.

What it does

• gh search prs --review-requested=@me --state=open fetches your review queue across every repo you have access to.
• Displays them in a scrollable table (repo, number, title, author, age, draft flag).
• Keyboard-driven: pick a PR and press Enter to open a confirmation modal; on Enter/y it clones the repo (if needed), checks out the PR branch via gh pr checkout, and launches claude inside that working tree with a prompt that invokes the PR Review Toolkit agents. See Keybindings for the full list.

Prerequisites

All prerequisites are validated at startup via check_prereqs(); the TUI refuses to launch until they're satisfied.

1. GitHub CLI — installed and logged in.

   gh auth login
   

2. Claude Code — the claude CLI must be on your PATH.
3. PR Review Toolkit plugin — installed and enabled inside Claude Code (detected via claude plugin list --json):

   claude plugin install pr-review-toolkit
   

   Details: https://claude.com/plugins/pr-review-toolkit
4. git — on your PATH (used for git fetch on repeat reviews).

Install

As a global CLI (recommended)

Install from PyPI with uv or pipx:

uv tool install cc-pr-reviewer
# or
pipx install cc-pr-reviewer

Then run it from anywhere:

cc-pr-reviewer

From source (for development)

uv sync
uv run cc-pr-reviewer
# or
uv run python cc_pr_reviewer.py

Configuration

Env var	Default	Meaning
GH_PR_WORKSPACE	~/gh-pr-workspace	Where repos are cloned for local checkout.

Clones are organised as $GH_PR_WORKSPACE/<owner>/<repo>, so a second review of the same repo reuses the existing clone and just git fetches before checking out the PR.

Keybindings

Key	Action
↑ / ↓	Move through PRs
Enter	Confirm, then clone + checkout + launch Claude Code review
d	View full diff
o	Open PR in browser
m	Toggle inclusion of PRs you authored
f	Filter the list by repo (picker)
r / F5	Refresh the list
q	Quit

Inside the confirmation modal: Enter / y to proceed, Esc / n / q to cancel, p to toggle post-inline (instruct Claude to publish the findings as inline PR review comments via gh api, grouped under one review). The toggle defaults to on each time the modal opens; the chosen value is printed before Claude launches.

Inside the filter modal: arrow keys to move, Enter to apply the highlighted repo (or pick (any repo — clear filter) to remove the filter), r to re-fetch the unfiltered PR list and pick up repos that appeared after boot, Esc to cancel. The repo list comes from the most recent unfiltered fetch — applying a filter doesn't shrink the picker. The active filter is persisted in $GH_PR_WORKSPACE/.review_state.db and restored on the next launch.

How the Claude launch works

When you press Enter on a row, a confirmation modal shows the target PR (repo#N + title). On Enter/y the TUI suspends itself and runs, in order:

gh repo clone <owner>/<repo>                      # only if not already cloned
git fetch --all --prune                           # otherwise
gh pr checkout <N> --force
claude --permission-mode acceptEdits "<review prompt>"

The review prompt asks the PR Review Toolkit to run its six sub-agents (Comment Analyzer, PR Test Analyzer, Silent Failure Hunter, Type Design Analyzer, Code Reviewer, Code Simplifier). Because Claude Code starts in the PR's working tree, it has full file-level context.

--permission-mode acceptEdits is always passed so file-edit prompts don't interrupt the review — the same mode you get with shift+tab inside a Claude session.

If the modal's post-inline checkbox (p) is on, the prompt is extended to ask Claude to publish each finding as an inline review comment via a single POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{n}/reviews call through gh api, so they land grouped under one review.

When you /exit Claude, press Enter and the TUI returns.
