Use after a pull request is open to watch its CI and review-bot comments until it is ready. Fixes real findings, replies with a reason to false positives, rebases when the base moves, and stops when bots and required checks are green. Merges only when the person asked.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Babysit PR
Most repositories run AI review bots and CI on every pull request. They are helpful, even when they are not right.
Run it once the PR is open, when the person says "ready", or when your own instructions say to.
## Watch
Match the effort to the change: a docs-only or few-line PR skips the watching below and the green-checks condition under Stop, and reports as soon as it's open.
Watch the PR instead of checking once. In Claude Code, run `gh pr checks <pr> --watch` in the background or use a monitor, so you respond when checks or comments arrive. In Codex, or wherever nothing can wake you, poll `gh pr checks <pr>` and the review threads every few minutes.
Only act on checks and comments newer than the latest push. Compare their timestamps with the head commit:
```bash
gh pr view <pr> --json headRefOid,commits,statusCheckRollup,reviews,comments
```
Review threads, and whether they are resolved, come from GraphQL:
```bash
…
The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.60e9622, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
A 17 of 17 checks passed. Fixed automatic checks with no AI involved, so the same checks give the same answer every run.
