Babysits an open GitHub PR until merge-ready, first judging whether an old PR still belongs. Use when asked to watch a PR over time or update an old one — not for one-shot comment resolution or one CI failure. GitHub (incl. Enterprise) only.

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 a PR

Keep an open PR moving toward merge by reacting to three streams as each arrives: review comments (handed to `ce-resolve-pr-feedback`), CI failures (handed to `ce-debug`), and branch-currency items the snapshot flags.

**Outcome:** the PR is left at a truthfully reported terminal, looks-ready, blocked, or out-of-budget state under the run's posture. **Done:** Step 3 (stop conditions) reached a true stop and the Step 4 report is written. Settled ≠ merged.

**What each tick looks at and every change it makes come from the bundled `pr-snapshot` output — never by prose, events you notice, or a coordinator's say-so** (readiness also applies the review judgment in `references/settle.md`, which reads live state this output does not model). Read `references/tick.md` before the first snapshot; `references/envelope.md` states the full boundaries.

## Posture (one value per run)

- `target` — only the named PR; stop at looks-ready; never merges; offer stack-wide once if a confirmed managed stack needs work.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add everyinc/compound-engineering-plugin/ce-babysit-pr@sha256:a4a7b3ded44df9a7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.50988ac, 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.
