What it does

Babysit PR is an agent skill from rome-os/rome. Watch a PR on a self-paced timer and keep it mergeable — answer review feedback with the respond-to-review skill, fix failing CI, and resolve merge conflicts — until it is reviewed clean, green, and conflict-free. Use when the user says "babysit this PR".

Its SKILL.md is about 280 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Git workflow. The repository describes itself as: A compounding agent OS for recursive agents. Also an open source alternative to Grok Bot and Meta's Muse. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says babysit this PR
  • Tasks that involve Git workflow

Example prompts

  • “babysit this PR”
  • “/babysit-pr”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ccf62e7. 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

Babysit PR loads about 276 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 126 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~276

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 a PR

Watch $ARGUMENTS — the PR for the current branch when the argument is empty — and keep it ready to merge: run respond-to-review on every new round of review feedback, fix CI failures the diff caused, and resolve merge conflicts with the base branch. Merging the PR itself stays with the user.

The environment decides the mechanism: a watcher that wakes the session when a review or check lands, or a poll every five minutes. Each tick, handle whatever is new, then end the turn with the next tick scheduled. Once the PR is approved or a round raises no new points, CI is green, and the branch merges cleanly, schedule nothing and report the outcome. When something needs the user's decision, stop and ask.
