PR Babysitter continuously watches a pull request for review comments, CI checks, and mergeability until it is merged, closed, or needs user help. It can diagnose failures, retry flaky checks, and surface new feedback on open PRs.

PR Babysitter is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. PR Babysitter comes from a repository tagged agent-harness, ai-agents, autonomous-agents, bug-bounty and claude-code.

README

Excerpt

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
