You can now use the [Vercel CLI](https://vercel.com/docs/cli) to manage [Vercel Toolbar](https://vercel.com/docs/vercel-toolbar) comments. `vercel comments` covers the full triage loop:

- List and filter unresolved comments for the linked project, scoped to your current Git branch
- Inspect a full thread with every message and its IDs
- Reply, resolve, reopen, edit, or delete from the terminal
- `--format json` output for scripts and agents

### Common workflow

Start by listing all of the unresolved comments in the current branch:

```bash
$ vercel comments
  Comments in my-project · feat/checkout

  ● icZ9BnPPINuK  3h  Ana Ruiz  /checkout
      “The promo code field loses focus after applying a discount”
      → 4 replies · Maria, v0 (app) · last 20m ago

  1 unresolved comment
  To read a thread, run `vercel comments inspect <id>`
```

Dig deeper into a specific thread:

```bash
$ vercel comments inspect icZ9BnPPINuK
  icZ9BnPPINuK · unresolved · feat/checkout

  /checkout — “Acme Site — Checkout”
    Element         body > main > form > div.promo-container

  Maria  · 3h ago · JEcplTszDY1Gme8cs7DK6

```

Reply, resolve, edit:

```bash
$ vercel comments reply icZ9BnPPINuK -m "Fixed in the latest push, focus now persists on re-render."
$ vercel comments resolve icZ9BnPPINuK -m "Shipping this. Reopen if it regresses."
$ vercel comments edit icZ9BnPPINuK VvkhYF6dTqbpm7K -m "Fixed on preview, verifying on staging."
```

### Get started

Update to the latest Vercel CLI version and run `vercel comments`. Or just prompt your coding agent:

**Prompt for coding agents**

Process the comments I left on the site. Run `vercel comments` to get started, and `vercel comments --help` to learn how to interact with them. Ensure the `vercel` CLI is up-to-date.
