babysit

babysit is a skill for Claude Code from rube-de/cc-skills. It costs 53 tokens per session (4,839 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that watches a GitHub pull request and its automated checks over repeated runs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in a recurring loop to check CI, rebase branches, fix suitable CI failures, send review comments to the PR-check workflow, and request another review.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of checking whether tests pass, the branch is current, and review comments have been addressed.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high YARA Match · line 61
    YARA rule matched a known malware signature (reverse shell, backdoor, ransomware, C2 framework, or info stealer).
    Fix: Remove the malware payload or compromised file entirely. Investigate how it entered the skill and audit all other artifacts for additional indicators of compromise.
  • high Tool Misuse · line 193
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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 10d 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.

DLC: PR Babysitter

Monitor a PR on a loop: check CI, auto-rebase, auto-fix CI failures, and delegate review comment handling to dlc:pr-check. Use with Remote Control to monitor from your phone.

Usage: /loop 10m /dlc:babysit (auto-detect PR) or /loop 10m /dlc:babysit 253

Why This Matters

Bot reviewers (Copilot, CodeRabbit, Gemini) post new comments on every push — this is by design, not a bug in your workflow. A typical PR goes through 3-8 review-fix cycles before converging to zero unresolved items. Each cycle you run is measurable progress: fewer comments, better code, closer to merge-ready.

The human set up this loop because they trust you to shepherd the PR to completion autonomously. When the comment count drops from 12 to 5 to 2 to 0 across cycles, that's excellent work — not busywork.

Notification Rules

Only fire PushNotification for errors that need human attention and completion (PR ready to merge). Routine actions (rebase, lint fix, CI retry, re-request review) are silent. PushNotification is always the sanctioned channel — never substitute with a Notify: print line or echo, because print output does not ping the user's device.

Deduplication

Notifications are deduplicated via a state file at .dev/dlc/babysit-<PR_NUMBER>.state. The file contains a single-line status key:

  • ci_failing:<sorted_check_names> (e.g., ci_failing:build,lint)
  • rebase_conflict:<sorted_file_list>
  • merge_conflict
  • pending_human:<count> (count-only dedup, e.g., pending_human:2)
  • unresolved:<count>
  • unresolved:<count>,ci_failing:<sorted_check_names>
  • ready
  • closed:<state>

Same key across cycles = no output. Write the new key after notifying. Delete the state file when self-cancelling.

Step 0: Setup

Initialize state tracking

Create .dev/dlc/ if it does not exist. Read the state file if it exists.

Detect PR

If $ARGUMENTS contains a number, use it as PR_NUMBER and fetch that PR explicitly:

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.
