Description

I really want an option to provide custom instructions on how to respond to a specific PR comment alongside the automatic "Fix" button. I end up having to write a significant amount of prose to point the agent at a specific comment if I want to provide custom guidance on how it should be resolved, particularly when the best fix for an issue isn't the obvious one.

Research direction

Start with the /chat flow and the automatic "Fix" action described in the issue. Define how custom guidance is entered for a specific PR comment and passed alongside Fix, then verify that the agent uses that guidance when resolving the comment.
