Monitors or repairs an open GitHub PR: CI failures, conflicts, review threads, and merge readiness, reporting state changes. Use when asked to "watch this PR", "fix CI", "resolve conflicts", or "address review comments".

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

# PR Babysitter

- **IS:** keeping one open PR moving: conflicts, CI across GitHub Actions/Buildkite/Vercel/Fly.io, inbound review comments, and merge readiness, then following the merge through the repo's post-merge watch, 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 affected phases on state changes |
| "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:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mblode/agent-skills/pr-babysitter@sha256:f43a66472a46d09e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.45610c3, 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.
