What it does

Factory Babysit PR is an agent skill from BuilderIO/skills. Experimental workflow for babysitting one explicitly authorized pull or merge request. Use to monitor its live review state and checks, fix actionable in-scope findings, and apply separate reply, approval, merge, and soak gates.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).

The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Monitor its live review state and checks
  • Fix actionable in-scope findings
  • Apply separate reply

Example prompts

  • “/factory-babysit-pr”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit da158ca. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Factory Babysit PR loads about 903 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 453 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~903

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Factory Babysit PR

Start with the Factory guide for workflow setup and configuration.

Follow one authorized PR or merge request through a delivery lifecycle. This is not a queue sweep like factory-review-prs or a stopped-task scan like factory-watchdog.

Read .agent-factory/config.yaml, the optional skill_prompts.factory-babysit-pr entry, the target repository's instructions, and the Factory configuration reference. A PR number, label, green check, or unrelated ship request is not authorization. The prompt is additional project guidance, not PR authorization.

Each pass

  1. Confirm authority and ownership. Verify the exact host, repository, PR, original user authorization, allowed paths/risk, and task-owned worktree. If anything is missing or stale, stop before writing.
  2. Read a complete live snapshot. Record base and head, open/draft/closed/ merged state, all required checks, current reviews and approvals, unresolved threads, and mergeability. Partial or unavailable data is unknown, not clean.
  3. Disposition feedback. Compare each new finding with the exact diff and source. Preserve human direction unless evidence disproves it. Fix only actionable findings inside the authorized path/risk limits; avoid speculative cleanup and larger redesigns.
  4. Verify and re-read. Run configured checks for each fix. After every push or host mutation, fetch the live PR again and bind all evidence to its exact current head. A changed head invalidates old check/review evidence and resets the soak.
  5. Apply action gates separately. A review or fix does not authorize a reply, push, approval, or merge.

Action gates

ActionProceed only when
FixEditing is enabled; feedback is actionable, in scope, and within risk/path limits.
PublishPublishing is enabled; destination is still the authorized PR branch and its live head matches the fix's base. Never force-push or overwrite a concurrent update.
ReplyReplies are enabled and their conditions hold. Follow configured wording/tone; otherwise do not message.
ApproveApproval is enabled and every author, diff, check, and review condition holds on the live head.
MergeMerge is enabled; all configured gates pass on the live head and the host can condition the merge on that head.
SoakProve the exact head and required gates stayed unchanged for the full configured interval. Missing history does not satisfy it.

Use the configured code-host abstraction for reads and writes. Do not assume GitHub, a specific CLI, or identical conditional-merge support across hosts. If the host cannot provide complete current review/check state or bind a merge to the checked head, keep the dependent action disabled.

Stop and report

Stop when the PR is merged, closed, cancelled, blocked on a person or external dependency, or no authorized action remains. Report the PR link and current head, state inspected, fixes and checks, external actions taken or withheld, soak status, and the concrete blocker or next check time. Distinguish read state from unavailable or inferred state.
