Babysits an open pull request end-to-end by polling every minute, triaging new comments and reviews, handling CI failures, iterating on reviewer scores, and stopping only when the PR is ready to merge. Use when a user says `babysit this PR`, `watch this PR until it's merge-ready`, `handle review feedback on my PR`, or `keep iterating on this PR until reviewers are happy`. Do NOT use for a one-shot PR risk review, merged PR production monitoring, or repo-wide CI debugging with no scoped PR.
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
# SWE PR Babysitting ## What This Skill Does Use this skill to take one open pull request from active review to merge-safe state with minimal manual intervention. The job is to keep a live watch loop going, absorb new feedback, push fixes, explain disagreements when feedback is invalid, and only stop when one of these terminal states is reached: - the PR is ready to merge - the PR is merged or closed - a blocker requires user or reviewer input The expected outcome is not a one-shot review. It is an active PR shepherding loop that keeps working until the branch is either safe to merge or explicitly blocked. ## When To Use Use this skill when the user wants to: - babysit one open PR until it is merge-ready - watch for review comments, change requests, and CI failures continuously - apply small follow-up fixes and push them without waiting for manual nudges - keep iterating until a reviewer or review bot gives the highest available score - end with a clear `ready to merge` or `blocked` outcome ## Do Not Use Do not use this skill for: - a one-time risk review with no ongoing watch loop - post-merge production impact checks - repo-wide CI triage without a scoped PR …

How to install
mdr add ckorhonen/swe-skills/swe:babysit-pr@sha256:438e213c15f964feThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260405.3fb0184, 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.
