What it does

PR Monitor is an agent skill from shepherdjerred/monorepo. Monitor an existing PR's CI, reviews, and merge conflicts in the foreground until ready or an actionable blocker appears. Use when asked to watch or monitor a PR.

Its SKILL.md is about 410 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: Monorepo for all of my projects. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Git workflow

Example prompts

  • “/pr-monitor”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d66c497. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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

PR Monitor loads about 406 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 205 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~406

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.

PR monitoring

In shepherdjerred/monorepo, load monorepo-delivery before delivery or repair work. Use one foreground wait pinned to the PR head:

bash
toolkit ci wait [PR] --json

Keep awaiting that same process. Long queues and builds are normal. On an actionable blocker, inspect bounded evidence with toolkit ci explain [PR] and reviews with toolkit pr review list [PR] --json. Use toolkit ci load for capacity. Command details, credentials, and exit meanings live in packages/toolkit/README.md.

If repairs are within the user's scope, address the actual failure, run focused local checks, resolve provider findings with an audited reason, and publish through toolkit git-spice. Start a new wait explicitly after the head changes. Follow monorepo-delivery for conflicts and branch updates; being behind main alone does not mean there is a conflict or that a rebase is required.

Respect the user's requested wait boundary. A timeout is not a CI failure; red main requires reporting and awaiting instructions. Report human intervention when required by effective merge rules or requested changes; do not invent an approval requirement. Monitoring does not authorize creating or merging a PR. Never promise to resume after the turn ends.

For other repositories, follow their delivery guidance, monitor the native CI provider in the foreground, and inspect review and conflict state with gh.
