babysit-pr

babysit-pr is a skill for Claude Code from agentic-dev3o/devx-plugins. It costs 124 tokens per session (3,081 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for watching a GitHub pull request, which is a proposed code change, and checking whether its automated checks pass. It reads failed GitHub Actions logs, separates branch problems from infrastructure problems, and works toward a passing, mergeable request without merging it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to monitor a pull request, diagnose failed checks, fix problems caused by the branch, rerun checks when appropriate, and identify blockers that need the user to act.
Why use it?
It removes the need to repeatedly inspect checks and logs by hand. It also prevents environment failures from being confused with bugs in the proposed change.

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

babysit-pr 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 1mo 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 — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Babysit PR

Drive the pull request in $ARGUMENTS (PR number or URL; empty means the PR of the current branch) to green — every required check passing, no merge conflict — or to a blocker only the user can clear.

This skill watches, diagnoses, and classifies. It does not own git mutations: commits go through devx-git:ci, base-branch merges through devx-git:update-origin. Never merge the PR.

Copy this checklist into the reply and keep the counters current — they are the only state that survives between steps:

Babysit PR #<n>:
- [ ] Preflight — PR resolved, head branch checked out, tree clean
- [ ] Watch — exit code dispatched
- [ ] Failures listed by bucket
- [ ] Diagnosed and classified
- [ ] Acted — fix and push, or rerun
- [ ] Mergeable
Budgets: pushes 0/5 · reruns 0/3 · started <HH:MM>, cap 45 min
Attempts: <job> · <error-signature> ×N

Step 1: Preflight

gh auth status
gh pr view $ARGUMENTS --json number,url,state,isDraft,headRefName,headRepositoryOwner,isCrossRepository,baseRefName
git status --porcelain
git branch --show-current

Shell variables do not survive between Bash calls. Record <pr>, <owner>/<repo>, <head-branch>, and <base-branch> from that output and write the literal values into every later command. A PR=$(...) set here is empty in the next call, and gh pr checks "" does not error — it silently falls back to the current branch's PR. Pass -R <owner>/<repo> to every gh call, or a PR URL argument's repo is discarded.

Stop and report when:

  • gh is missing or unauthenticated, or no PR resolves (empty output).
  • isCrossRepository is true — a fork PR's head branch is not pushable from here.
  • headRefName differs from the current branch. Run gh pr checkout <pr> -R <owner>/<repo>, or stop if that would discard work. Without this check, every commit below lands on whatever branch happens to be checked out.
  • git status --porcelain is non-empty. devx-git:ci and devx-git:update-origin both require a clean tree; never stash silently.

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.
