Description
babysit-pr is an agent skill from OpenAI's Codex repository that keeps watching a GitHub pull request after it has been created. The agent polls the pull request's review comments, its CI checks and workflow runs, and its mergeability state, and keeps going until one of the end conditions is reached. The skill ends when the pull request is merged or closed, or when a situation needs a person, such as CI infrastructure problems, repeated flaky failures after the retry budget is used up, permission problems, or an ambiguity the agent cannot resolve safely. When the pull request is green, mergeable and free of open review comments, the skill reports that as a milestone but keeps watching, so late review comments are still raised. It can find the pull request from the current branch or take a PR number or URL. It is listed on skills.sh and is meant for agents that open pull requests and need to follow them through review and CI.…
