babysit

babysit is a skill for Claude Code from thedotmack/claude-mem. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,084 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A monitoring workflow for a pull request, which is a proposed code change awaiting review and automated checks. It keeps checking the request until reviews, comments, discussion threads, and CI checks are in an acceptable state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to watch a pull request through review and CI. It helps identify actionable comments, verify fixes, resolve addressed threads, and decide when the change is ready to merge.
Why use it?
It removes the need to repeatedly inspect GitHub for new feedback or unfinished checks. When real issues appear, it guides focused fixes, tests, pushes, and another review pass.

About the project

Claude-Mem, now presented as Grok Mem, records an agent's work, compresses it with AI, and brings relevant notes into later sessions so the agent can remember decisions and next steps. It is intended for persistent context across agent conversations and supports multiple coding-agent environments. The catalogue add-ons provide the workflows and integrations used to operate this memory system.

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 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.

Babysit PR

Stay with the PR until it is actually clean. Do not stop after one check pass if comments or review threads are still unresolved.

Workflow

  1. Identify the PR number, branch, and base branch.
  2. Confirm the PR is not draft and inspect mergeability, checks, review decision, comments, and review threads.
  3. Watch pending checks until they finish. Poll at a practical interval, usually 30-60 seconds unless the user asks for a different cadence.
  4. Read new comments and unresolved review threads. Treat bot summaries as useful, but verify actionable findings against the code.
  5. Fix real issues in focused commits, run relevant tests/builds, push, and return to step 2.
  6. Resolve stale review threads only after verifying the code or generated artifact now addresses the comment.
  7. Stop only when checks are passing or intentionally skipped, review decision is acceptable, no actionable comments remain, and no unresolved review threads remain.

GitHub CLI Checks

Use gh pr view for the coarse status:

gh pr view <number> --json \
  number,state,isDraft,mergeable,mergeStateStatus,reviewDecision,headRefOid,statusCheckRollup,url

Resolve the repository owner/name before using GraphQL:

repo_json=$(gh repo view --json owner,name)
owner=$(jq -r '.owner.login // .owner.name' <<<"$repo_json")
repo=$(jq -r '.name' <<<"$repo_json")

Use GraphQL for unresolved review threads. Include pageInfo; omit cursor on the first page, then pass the previous endCursor with -f cursor="$cursor" while hasNextPage is true.

gh api graphql \
  -f query='query($owner:String!,$repo:String!,$number:Int!,$cursor:String){repository(owner:$owner,name:$repo){pullRequest(number:$number){reviewThreads(first:100,after:$cursor){pageInfo{hasNextPage endCursor}nodes{id,isResolved,isOutdated,path,line,comments(last:1){nodes{author{login},body,createdAt,url}}}}}}}' \
  -f owner="$owner" -f repo="$repo" -F number=<number>

Use this loop when a PR may have many review threads:

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.
