| description | For each reviewer question on a PR, recall implementation reasoning and compose a raw answer. Use when the user asks to "answer reviewer questions", "draft answers to PR questions", or "explain reviewer questions". |
For each reviewer question thread, recall the implementer's reasoning and compose a raw answer. The answers are plain text and feed into a downstream reply-drafting skill that applies voice rules and reply formatting.
Use the question threads from conversation context. Each thread has: thread id, file path, line (use originalLine when line is null), the reviewer's original comment, and the reconciled intent from /interpret-feedback.
If no question threads were provided, report that there are no questions to answer and stop.
For each thread:
- Run the
/recall-reasoningskill with<path>:<line>. It returns either recalled reasoning from a past transcript, or a fallback derived from reading the commit diff and surrounding code. - Compose a one-or-two-sentence answer from the returned reasoning. Quote or paraphrase the implementer's own words when the recalled reasoning explains the decision well.
- Do not mention Claude, transcripts, or that the reasoning was recalled. The answer reads as the implementer's own explanation.
Output one block per thread:
**Thread <id>** (<path>:<line>)
<answer text>
_Grounding: derived from current code_
Include the _Grounding:_ line only when /recall-reasoning returned no transcript. Omit it when the answer is grounded in recalled reasoning.
Then use the TaskList tool and proceed to any remaining task.
- Do not load
/github-voiceor apply reply formatting. Downstream drafting applies voice rules when composing the actual reply. - When
/recall-reasoningreturned no transcript, still compose an answer from the current code and include the_Grounding:_line so the downstream drafter knows the answer has weaker grounding.
