Adds workflow logic to remove a prior “Claude Code Review” PR comment before re-running the Claude review action, and updates the Claude prompt to guide posting an updated review.
Changes:
- Added a GitHub CLI step to find/delete an existing “Claude Code Review” issue comment on the PR.
- Expanded the Claude instruction prompt to prefer posting a new “updated” review comment with additional metadata.

This deletes only a single matching comment (the first one returned), but the PR title implies removing previous Claude review comments (potentially multiple). Consider deleting all matching comment IDs (iterate over the jq output) or explicitly deleting only the most recent one and updating the step/title to match that behavior.

The GitHub API response order for issue comments isn’t guaranteed to be the one you intend, so head -n 1 can delete an arbitrary matching comment. If the goal is to delete the latest/previous Claude comment, filter + sort by .created_at (or .updated_at) and then select the newest ID deterministically.
| # Find first issue comment whose body starts with "## Claude Code Review" | |
| comment_id=$(gh api repos/$repo/issues/$pr/comments \ | |
| --jq '.[] | select(.body | startswith("## Claude Code Review")) | .id' | head -n 1) | |
| # Find most recent issue comment whose body starts with "## Claude Code Review" | |
| comment_id=$(gh api repos/$repo/issues/$pr/comments \ | |
| --jq 'map(select(.body | startswith("## Claude Code Review"))) | sort_by(.created_at) | last? | .id // empty') |

GitHub PR issue comments don’t support a separate 'title' field—only the body text. If you need a 'title', instruct Claude to include a first-line markdown heading (e.g., ## Claude Code Review (updated)) or a consistent prefix in the comment body, rather than referring to the comment as being 'titled'.
| - files changed count + up to 15 file paths | ||
| - 3–6 bullet summary of changes | ||
| - findings or at least 3 improvement opportunities with file paths | ||
| Post as ONE top-level PR comment. |
