Commands
Drive the bot directly from a PR by commenting one of these. Each also accepts the
mention form, e.g. @Thrillhousebot review. The bot acknowledges every command
instantly with a 👀 reaction on your comment while the work runs in the background;
a conversational @thrillhousebot mention (no command word) gets an answer instead,
not a reaction.
| Command | What it does | Access |
|---|---|---|
/help | List the available commands | anyone |
/review | Run (or re-run) a full review of the PR | write |
/summary | Post the PR summary if it isn't already on the PR — regenerates it if the comment was deleted, otherwise no-op | write |
/describe | Suggest an improved PR title and description generated from the diff, as a comment to copy in (never overwrites the PR) | write |
/changelog | Draft a CHANGELOG entry for the PR from the diff (Added/Changed/Fixed/Security…), as a comment to copy into CHANGELOG.md (never commits) | write |
/add-docs | Generate docstrings/inline docs for the symbols changed in the PR, posted as committable suggestions (or a note with the drafted docs when a multi-line declaration can't be pinned to a single diff hunk) | write |
/resolve | Resolve ThrillhouseBot's outstanding finding threads on the PR | write |
/pause | Silence the bot on the PR | write |
/resume | Re-enable the bot on a paused PR | write |
Access — every command except /help requires the commenter to hold write access to
the repository (or to be named in
THRILLHOUSEBOT_REVIEW_MANUAL_TRIGGER_ALLOWED_LOGINS), since reviews spend the operator's
AI budget.
Pause — while a PR is paused, ThrillhouseBot skips automatic reviews on new commits,
ignores /review, /summary, /describe, /changelog, and /add-docs, and does not answer
@thrillhousebot mentions (it replies once to say it is paused). /resume lifts the pause.
/help and /resolve keep working while paused.
/add-docs — on demand, the bot reads the diff and proposes documentation comments for
the public symbols changed in the PR, honoring the repository instructions and each file's
language. Each suggestion is a committable suggestion block placed on the symbol's
declaration (spanning the whole signature when it wraps), so it only inserts docs without
rewriting code. When a multi-line declaration can't be pinned to a single diff hunk, the bot
posts a note with the drafted docs to add manually instead of a committable suggestion. It
spends AI budget per run; operators can turn it off with REVIEW_ADD_DOCS_ENABLED=false.
