Babysit a PR

Claude Code analog of Cursor's built-in /babysit. The implementation is a loop over gh CLI plus the Claude Code loop skill for pacing.

Platform note. On Codex or another non-Claude runtime, the Claude tool names and Claude built-in skills named below (loop, AskUserQuestion) are Claude defaults. Resolve them via codex-tools.md.

Inside poteto-mode, the Babysit playbook (../poteto-mode/playbooks/babysit.md) supersedes this skill: it owns mode declaration, the merge frontier, stack safety, and the watch-pr watcher. This skill stays the standalone /babysit entry point for a single PR outside a poteto-mode run.

When to use

  • There's an open PR and the user explicitly wants it kept green, and you are not already inside a poteto-mode run (the playbook owns that case).
  • The user invokes /babysit directly.
  • A subagent that opens a PR does NOT babysit — return to the parent and let the parent decide.

Steps

  1. Fetch PR state.
