PR Babysitter

  • IS: keeping one open PR moving: conflicts, CI across GitHub Actions/Buildkite/Vercel/Fly.io, inbound review comments, and merge readiness, as a background monitor or as one-shot fixes.
  • IS NOT: opening or editing the PR (pr-creator), reviewing or fixing the diff itself (tidy), or npm release PRs (autoship watches its own release CI; never babysit a release or Version Packages PR it drives).

Mode Selection

Invocation Mode
"babysit", "watch this PR", "monitor", "keep it green" Monitor: Phase 1 once, then phases 2-5 on every event or tick
"fix CI", "why is CI red", "loop on CI" One-shot Phase 3 loop
"resolve conflicts", "rebase onto main", "update the branch" One-shot Phase 2
"address the comments", "reply to the reviewers", "triage review comments" One-shot Comment Triage Workflow
"is it ready", "what is blocking the merge" One-shot Phase 5 report

Standing rules, every mode:

  • Monitoring or fixing code does not by itself authorize posting replies. Post, resolve threads, or request reviews only when the user authorized that communication; otherwise prepare replies and report them.
  • Resolve scripts/fetch-comments.sh relative to this installed SKILL.md. ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR} below is a Claude Code adapter, not a portable environment variable.
