# Enable Agent to Diff a Pull Request

After checking out a PR branch, the agent needs a way to see the changes introduced by the pull request. The `gh pr diff` command is a straightforward way to get a summary of the changes. This ticket is to create a workflow for the agent to use this command.

## Acceptance Criteria

1.  A new workflow is added to `AGENTS.md`.
2.  The workflow instructs the agent on how to use `gh pr diff <PR_NUMBER>` to view the changes in a pull request.
3.  The agent should be instructed to use this command after checking out a PR branch to get an overview of the changes before doing a more detailed file-by-file review.

Hi, and thanks for your interest.

These tickets require the "ai native" workflows, so you need to read these 2 first:
https://github.com/neomjs/neo/blob/dev/.github/WORKING_WITH_AGENTS.md
https://github.com/neomjs/neo/blob/dev/.github/AI_QUICK_START.md

Since the epic subs strongly build on and relate to each other, I also strongly recommend to join the Slack and / or Discord Channels, so that you guys can sync. Like a real project :)

https://join.slack.com/t/neomjs/shared_invite/zt-6c50ueeu-3E1~M4T9xkNnb~M_prEEOA
https://discord.gg/6p8paPq

For this specific sub, there is a strict requirement to have https://github.com/neomjs/neo/issues/7370 finished first (blocker).

More input from Gemini:

> ✦ Yes, your assumption is exactly right.
> 
>   The ticket ticket-agent-can-diff-a-pr.md is directly dependent on ticket-agent-can-checkout-pr-branch.md.
> 
>   The description in the "diff" ticket explicitly states the intended sequence: "After checking out a PR branch, the agent needs a way to see the changes...".
> 
>   To build a coherent workflow for me to follow, the instructions must be created in logical order. I need to be taught how to get the code (checkout) before I can be taught how to inspect the changes (diff).
> 
>   Recommendation:
>   Work on ticket-agent-can-checkout-pr-branch.md should be completed before work begins on ticket-agent-can-diff-apr.md.

Hi @pranjalarora98,

Thank you for your interest in this ticket during Hacktoberfest.

The functionality described in this ticket has now been implemented and superseded by the 'get_pull_request_diff' tool in the new GitHub Workflow MCP server. This tool was used to review all open PRs during the session where this ticket was closed.

We're closing this ticket as it has been resolved. Thanks again for your willingness to contribute!
