In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after creating a pull request to receive change notifications, respond to review feedback, and keep the branch mergeable.
Why use it?
It prevents feedback, broken checks, or conflicts from being missed after a pull request is opened.

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

pr-monitor 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 5d 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 — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PR Monitor

After a PR is opened, arm a persistent Monitor that polls GitHub and emits one event per new review comment, per CI check turning red, and each time the PR gains or loses a merge conflict with its base. Each emitted line becomes a notification, so the agent can react to feedback, failures and conflicts as they land rather than waiting for the whole CI run or for someone to notice the PR can't merge.

gh pr create is not the end of that thread of work — the end state is "PR filed AND monitor armed." Arm it as the next step after opening the PR.

Pick a form — and read this first

Two kinds of behavior are bundled in the full form: (a) keeping the PR mergeable — reacting to CI failures and to merge conflicts — and (b) drafting replies to human reviewers' comments. Behavior (b) is the judgment call. The replies are posted through the PR author's GitHub account, but each one begins with the [Claude Code 🤖] prefix (see the pr-comment-attribution skill), so reviewers can see at a glance that the agent wrote it — not the author. The concern is therefore social, not mistaken identity: a teammate may simply not want an agent taking a first pass at reviewers' feedback before they've engaged with it themselves. Respect that.

  • Full form — watches review comments + reviews + CI + merge conflicts, and the agent drafts a per-thread reply to each (prefixed per the pr-comment-attribution skill so reviewers know it's the agent). Use when the PR author is comfortable with the agent taking a first pass at review feedback.
  • Reduced form — watches only CI checks turning red and merge conflicts; review comments are left entirely to the human author. Use this when anyone is uncomfortable with the agent replying on their behalf. It still gives you the tight fix-CI-fast loop, and keeps the branch mergeable, without touching the social surface.

When in doubt, default to the reduced form and let the author opt up.

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.
