babysit

babysit is a skill for Claude Code from kirodotdev/KiroCrew. It costs 45 tokens per session (4,955 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A same-session monitoring loop that checks pull requests, automated build checks, tickets, or deployments at set intervals. A pull request is a proposed code change awaiting review or merging.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps watch CI runs, code reviews, tickets, and deployments, while sending periodic updates or stopping the loop when requested.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to remember to check the same work repeatedly. The monitoring continues in the current chat session and can survive a service restart.

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 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/pr_watch.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 365 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Babysit

General-purpose monitoring: this skill works without a Kiro Crew checkout or kirocrew-prepare-pr installed. It owns loop mechanics, not a repository's repair policy. For Kiro Crew PR CI AI comments ONLY, MUST load kirocrew-prepare-pr: Review repair routing before any fix. That procedure requires model-pinned repair subagents; parent self-fixing does not satisfy it. Prepare-pr owns that repo's local reviewers, PR gates, dispositions and publication rules. Do not require it for other work.

Choose one driver

Use a structured monitor only when its typed provider observes every fact needed to decide the objective. Use the finite legacy path for evidence it cannot see. Structured watches support dashboard, Slack, and Discord sessions. On Webex, use the finite legacy path even for a supported pull request.

Work Driver
User is waiting, total work under 30 minutes Bounded in-turn wait + poll
One supported pull request, readiness decided by typed provider facts monitor_watch
Generic comments/advisory findings, or a required final report or notification Finite monitor_start with gate=false
Act on a schedule, multiple subjects, unsupported ticket or deployment Finite monitor_start
Fresh-session work needing no approval-bound tools cron_add
Post-merge cleanup after verified merge Script cron, roughly every 5 minutes
External system calls back register_hook

Never use an agent cron or HEARTBEAT.md to fix and push review findings. Cron has no owning chat slot's trust and can time out at tool approval while still recording last_status: ok; heartbeat's allowlist has no shell or push. Use one session-owned driver, not two watchers.

A gated monitor_start hands its whole pull-request reading, comment and review bodies included, to the wake judge, so wake_when may name prose. No judge lane: only an unchanged subject is free.

An installation can set how firmly this table's facts-decided row points at the structured path. With monitoring.prefer_structured_arming on, monitor_watch is this gateway's default for a supported pull request and the prompt loop is the exception; off (the default) the table reads as written. The setting changes what the two tool descriptions say and refuses neither tool, so the row that matters never moves: evidence the typed provider cannot see -- generic comments, advisory findings, a required final report -- is monitor_start with gate=false in either position. Read the descriptions you were given rather than assuming a position.

Changes

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.
