What it does
Babysit is an agent skill from OutThisLife/brooklyn-skills. Watch an open PR/MR until it's green or merged — poll checks, kick stalled CI, rerun flakes, catch late review threads. Use for /babysit, "babysit it to green", "watch it", "keep an eye on CI", or any stay-on-it ask after a PR handoff.
Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Skills that drive best-in-class engineering. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Babysit it to green
- Keep an eye on CI
- Any stay-on-it ask after a PR handoff
Example prompts
- “babysit it to green”
- “watch it”
- “keep an eye on CI”
- “/babysit”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Snapshot: `gh pr view --json
- Poll inside bounded shell loops (a single for with sleep 30–60
- React by cause
- Repeat until done. A push or rerun is progress, not an exit.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8a97904. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
ghgit
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Babysit loads about 699 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 379 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- babysit
- description
- Watch an open PR/MR until it's green or merged — poll checks, kick stalled CI, rerun flakes, catch late review threads. Use for /babysit, "babysit it to green", "watch it", "keep an eye on CI", or any stay-on-it ask after a PR handoff.
Babysit
Stay on the PR after handoff until it's actually done. Being asked to babysit IS the ask to poll — but report state changes only, no heartbeats, no per-poll narration.
Loop
- Snapshot:
gh pr view <N> --json state,mergeable,mergeStateStatus,reviewDecision,statusCheckRollup,autoMergeRequestplusgh pr checks <N>. - Poll inside bounded shell loops (a single
forwithsleep 30–60between iterations), not one message per check. Keep watcher scripts, logs, and state outside disposable worktrees, and use a stable working directory; other sessions may remove a merged PR's worktree while its watcher is running. If a watcher fails, recheck the service directly and resume only the remainder of the original deadline. A failed monitor is not a failed deployment. - React by cause:
- CI never started → kick it:
git commit --allow-empty -m "chore: kick CI" && git push. - Red caused by this branch → fix it (the
pr-readyloop), push, resume watching on the new SHA. - Flake / infra red → rerun the failed jobs; repeat until green. Note the flake in one line with the run link.
- New review threads → handle per
pr-ready(fix or reply, verify resolved via the forge API), resume.
- CI never started → kick it:
- Repeat until done. A push or rerun is progress, not an exit.
Merging
Arm automerge only when the user explicitly asks to merge or enable automerge. "Make CI green", "babysit", and "watch it" authorize checks and repairs, not merging. End at green with threads resolved unless merge authorization is explicit.
Show full SKILL.md (141 more words)Show less
CI quirks
gh run rerunrefusing with "already running" → cancel the run first, then rerun.- A cancelled run showing "no checks reported" is pending, not red — wait for it to re-report before calling it either way.
- Rollup gates ("All required checks pass") go red because a leaf did — diagnose the leaf failure, never the gate.
Done when
Re-query the forge — don't trust that a push went green or a rerun stuck. Merged, or every check green with no unresolved threads. Fail closed: any red or open thread means keep watching. Wrap up with the PR/MR link and what the watch consumed — reruns used, kicks, fixes pushed.
Scope
- In: watching an open PR, kicking stalled CI, rerunning flakes, small branch-caused fixes, late review threads.
- Out: opening or refreshing the PR (
pr-update,cpr), full rebase/red-CI overhauls (pr-ready), other people's PRs (pr-triage), merging unasked.
