babysit-pr
Babysit a GitHub pull request after creation by continuously polling review comments, CI checks/workflow runs, and mergeability state until the PR is merged/closed or user help is required. Diagnose failures, retry likely flaky failures up to 3 times, auto-fix/push branch-related issues when appropriate, and keep watching open PRs so fresh review feedback is surfaced promptly. Use when the user asks Codex to monitor a PR, watch CI, handle review comments, or keep an eye on failures and feedback on an open PR.
Install
With your agent

Manual command
git clone https://github.com/openai/codex /tmp/codex && ln -s /tmp/codex/.codex/skills/babysit-pr ~/.claude/skills/babysit-prFrom README
PR Babysitter Objective Babysit a PR persistently until one of these terminal outcomes occurs: The PR is merged or closed. A situation requires user help (for example CI infrastructure issues, repeated flaky failures after retry budget is exhausted, permission problems, or ambiguity that cannot be resolved safely). Optional handoff milestone: the PR is currently green + mergeable + review-clean. Treat this as a progress state, not a watcher stop, so late-arriving review comments are still surfaced promptly while the PR remains open. Do not stop merely because a single snapshot returns idle while checks are still pending. Inputs Accept any of the following: No PR argument: infer the PR from the current branch (--pr auto) PR number PR URL Core Workflow When the user asks to "monitor"/"watch"/"babysit" a PR, start with the watcher's continuous mode (--watch) unless you are intentionally doing a one-shot diagnostic snapshot.
