About this skill


name: babysit-pr-until-green description: Runs on a cron loop to monitor a pull request, auto-fix CI, deploy, test, and reviewer-comment failures, then alert or auto-merge when green. Use when working on babysit a pull request until green.

Babysit a Pull Request Until Green

Kicks off with a PR URL and a cadence (for example every 60 seconds). On each tick, checks mergeability status, deploy previews, test suites, lint, and inbound code-review comments. When any failure or comment appears, spins up a fix agent, applies the change, pushes, and re-runs. Once everything is green with no open threads, either notifies you or auto-merges based on configured mode. Use during long focus blocks so a PR is not blocked while you are heads-down or asleep.

What you get

  • Cron-driven PR watcher
  • Auto-fix agent for CI failures and reviewer comments
  • Green-state notification or auto-merge
  • Per-tick activity log
  • Safety guardrails (no force-push, no touching main)
  • End-of-run summary

Customize your output

  • Cron interval: 60s, 5m, 15m
  • Mode: notify only, auto-merge
  • Fix scope: tests only, code plus tests, docs
  • Reviewer allowlist: none, my team, everyone
  • Kill-switch on N failed loops: 3, 5, 10
  • Branch protection: honor, override with approval

Example output

'PR 482 tick 04:31: CI failed on lint. Fixed 3 style errors, pushed. Tick 04:32: green. Auto-merged into main.'

Best for

Solo builders and small dev teams using Claude Code or Codex, CTOs enabling less-technical teammates to ship, agencies running multiple client repos.


Note: Video covers grill-me, phased-plan, phased-implementation, vibe-code alongside this skill. High confidence.
