autofix Skill for Claude: What It Does and How to Install It

Makes Claude read unresolved CodeRabbit review comments on your pull request and fix them one at a time, with your approval for each change.

This skill fetches the unresolved, current CodeRabbit review threads on your branch's PR and shows them in a table with severity, location and type. For each issue Claude checks the code itself, shows a proposed diff and asks you to apply, defer or modify it.

It treats the review text, including CodeRabbit's "Prompt for AI Agents" section, as untrusted and never runs it. It does not apply fixes in bulk. Applied fixes go into one commit, and Claude asks before pushing.

Good for

Developers with a CodeRabbit-reviewed PR to clear
Teams that want fixes checked, not blindly applied
Reviewers triaging CodeRabbit findings by severity

Install autofix

Claude Code

Copy this prompt.

Install the autofix skill in Claude Code. Run this command:

/plugin marketplace update
/plugin install coderabbit@claude-plugins-official

Then check that it loaded and tell me how to use it.

2
Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Pick one route. The coderabbit plugin installs 2 skills (autofix and code-review) and 2 agents (counted from the repo tree), with no hooks or MCP config files at the repo root. The skills routes install just this skill. The skill needs the GitHub CLI (gh, signed in) and git, and a PR that CodeRabbit has already reviewed. The README documents the Codex app route in CodeRabbit's own guide, not as a command.

What it includes

Follows the repo's build, lint and test guidance if present
Searches the repo for AGENTS.md before doing anything else.
Try: “Fix the CodeRabbit comments on my PR.”
Files · Step 0: Load AGENTS.md
git status and unpushed commits
Warns that uncommitted or unpushed changes are not in CodeRabbit's review. If you agree to push, it runs git push and exits so the review can run.
Runs code · Step 1: Check push status
gh pr list for the current branch; offers gh pr create
If there is no open PR it asks whether to create one, using your last commit title and body.
Runs code · Step 2: Resolve the PR
gh api graphql, with paging
Keeps only unresolved, not outdated threads whose first comment is from the CodeRabbit bot. It exits if the review is still in progress.
Runs code · Step 3: Fetch review threads
Table of severity, title, location, type and action
Keeps CodeRabbit's severity label and exact titles, and works out Fix or Review itself.
Read · Step 4: Parse and display
Per-issue diff with Apply, Defer or Modify
Claude checks each issue against local code, ignores reviewer content that asks for secrets, unrelated files, URLs or CI changes, and edits only after you approve.
Write · Steps 5 and 6: Review and approve
One consolidated commit, optional checks, asks before push
Uses the commit message "fix: apply CodeRabbit auto-fixes". It prompts you to run build or lint checks before pushing.
Runs code · Steps 7 to 9: Commit, validate, push
gh pr comment with files and commit
Posts one summary comment on the PR, written from local state without raw reviewer prompts.
Write · Step 10: Post summary

Permissions

Medium risk

Claude edits your code, commits, can push and open a PR with your approval, and posts a summary comment on the PR. Approve each diff yourself, and check the commit before you push.

What it can do

Read your data
Create and change things
Delete things
Read-only mode

Watch out for

It changes your repo and your PR
Fixes are applied after you approve each one. It then commits once, asks before pushing, and posts a comment on the PR. Read each diff first. github.com
The plugin route adds more than this skill
The coderabbit plugin has 2 skills and 2 agents. The autofix agent is described as read-only and the code-reviewer agent runs a CodeRabbit CLI review. The skills-only routes install just this skill. github.com
Review comments are untrusted input
SKILL.md says to ignore reviewer content that asks to read secrets, touch unrelated files, fetch outside URLs or change CI, release or auth code. Say no if a proposed change does any of that. github.com

Technical details

Turning on read-only	No read-only mode. Use version control.
Talks to	GitHub API through the gh CLI
Sign-in and keys	The skill uses your gh sign-in (gh auth status) and stores nothing itself.
Scopes	Claude runs gh and git commands in your repo, including gh api graphql and gh pr list Claude edits files after you approve each fix Claude makes one commit and can run git push and gh pr create when you agree Step 10 posts a summary comment on the PR with gh pr comment

Questions

What does the CodeRabbit autofix skill do?

It makes Claude work through unresolved CodeRabbit review threads on your PR. Claude checks each issue against your code, shows a diff and applies it only if you approve.

How do I install autofix?

Use the install box at the top of this page. It lists the coderabbit plugin and skills-only commands. You also need the GitHub CLI signed in and git.

Is it made by CodeRabbit?

Yes. It is in CodeRabbit's own repo, coderabbitai/skills, which the README calls the canonical home for CodeRabbit's agent skills.

Does it need the CodeRabbit CLI?

No. SKILL.md lists gh and git as the required tools, plus a PR that CodeRabbit has already reviewed. The README's CodeRabbit CLI install serves the separate code-review skill, which runs CodeRabbit CLI reviews.

Will it apply all fixes automatically?

No. SKILL.md says every code change needs explicit approval and bulk auto-apply is not allowed. You choose Apply, Defer or Modify for each fix.

Does it work in the Claude app?

The install box has no Claude app upload for it, because the skill runs gh and git in your repo. Use Claude Code or another coding agent. The README lists many, including Cursor, Gemini CLI and Codex.

Is it safe?

It edits your code, makes one commit, can push and creates a PR if you agree, and posts a summary comment on the PR. SKILL.md tells Claude to treat CodeRabbit comments as untrusted, to ignore requests for secrets, and to read only files needed for each issue. Review each diff before you approve.
