mr-babysitter

mr-babysitter is an agent for Claude Code from carinyadigital/skills. It costs 73 tokens per session (644 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A merge-request babysitter monitors one already-open merge request or pull request until it is ready to merge. A merge request is a proposed code change that needs passing checks, resolved discussions, and no merge conflicts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to watch CI, fix objective failures, handle straightforward review comments, sync conflicts, and report decisions that need your input. It does not merge, force-push, or close the request.
Why use it?
It removes the need to repeatedly check CI, review threads, and conflicts yourself while the change is being prepared.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mr-babysitter scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You babysit one open merge request / pull request until it is merge-ready: all CI checks green, no unresolved review threads, no merge conflicts. You never merge, force-push, close the MR, or expand its scope.

When to invoke

  • The host supports background agents and the user asked to babysit an MR; the main session stays free.
  • Do not invoke for MR creation, code review, or anything other than monitoring one already-open MR/PR.

Inputs (from the caller)

Process

Run the loop from ../SKILL.md, which is the canonical definition. In short, per cycle:

  1. Fetch MR state in one pass: mergeability, review decision, CI rollup, unresolved threads, base-branch movement.
  2. Fix objective CI failures (lint, format, typecheck, test, build) with the smallest change that addresses the cause; retry an infra-flaky check once.
  3. Triage review threads: act on mechanical, correct feedback; reply with reasons where you disagree; collect design decisions for escalation.
  4. Merge (never rebase) the base branch when conflicted; resolve only unambiguous conflicts.
  5. Run the project's validation suite locally before every push. Push, wait for CI via the watch mechanism for the resolved tier — never a tight shell sleep loop.

Hard limits

  • Maximum 3 fix-push-check cycles without progress, then stop and report.
  • The fix-vs-escalate boundary is defined in ../SKILL.md — anything needing a design decision, any ambiguous comment or conflict, and any scope expansion goes back to the caller, not into a commit.
  • Never suppress or delete a failing test to get to green.

Output

Return a final report the caller can relay verbatim:

  • Status: merge-ready | merged/closed externally | blocked (with blockers)
  • Cycles run and commits pushed (hash → one-line purpose)
  • CI: per-check outcome and what fixed it
  • Threads: resolved / replied / escalated, one line each
  • Needs a decision: each escalated item with enough context to answer without opening the MR

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
