What it does

Babysitting PR is an agent skill from spencerpauly/awesome-cursor-skills. Monitor a pull request for CI failures, review comments, and merge conflicts — then fix them automatically. Use when a PR is open and you want the agent to keep it merge-ready.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 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 Failing and flaky tests, Git workflow and Pull requests. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome skills for Cursor. The licence is CC0-1.0.

When your agent uses it

  • A PR is open and you want the agent to keep it merge-ready
  • Tasks that involve Failing and flaky tests
  • Tasks that involve Git workflow

Example prompts

  • “/babysitting-pr”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Get the PR status — fetch the current state of the PR
  2. Check CI status — look at the statusCheckRollup field. For each failing check
  3. Fix CI failures — for each failing check, get the logs
  4. Handle review comments — fetch PR review comments
  5. Resolve merge conflicts — if the PR has conflicts
  6. Re-check status — after pushing fixes, wait for CI to run and check again
  7. Report — summarize what was done

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99cd265. 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:

    • git
    • gh
    • npm
    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, gh, npm and npx, 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

Babysitting PR loads about 930 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 416 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~930

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.

Babysitting a PR

Use this skill when the user has an open pull request and wants the agent to monitor it, fix CI failures, resolve review comments, and keep it merge-ready.

Steps

  1. Get the PR status — fetch the current state of the PR:

    bash
    gh pr view --json number,title,state,mergeable,reviewDecision,statusCheckRollup,comments,reviews

    Also check for merge conflicts:

    bash
    gh pr view --json mergeStateStatus

  2. Check CI status — look at the statusCheckRollup field. For each failing check:

    bash
    gh pr checks

    This lists all CI checks and their status (pass/fail/pending).

  3. Fix CI failures — for each failing check, get the logs:

    bash
    gh run view <run-id> --log-failed

    Analyze the failure and fix it:

    • Lint failures: run the linter locally (npm run lint -- --fix), fix remaining issues manually, commit.
    • Type errors: run npx tsc --noEmit, read the errors, fix the types, commit.
    • Test failures: run the failing test suite locally, read the assertion errors, fix the code or update the test expectations, commit.
    • Build failures: run npm run build, read the error output, fix imports/configs/missing deps, commit.

    After fixing, push the changes:

    bash
    git add -A && git commit -m "fix: resolve CI failures" && git push

  4. Handle review comments — fetch PR review comments:

    bash
    gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr}/comments

    For each unresolved comment:

    • Read the comment and the code it references.
    • If the fix is clear (typo, naming, missing null check, style issue), apply it.
    • If the comment requires a design decision or clarification, skip it and report to the user.

    Commit fixes for resolved comments:

    bash
    git add -A && git commit -m "fix: address review feedback" && git push

  5. Resolve merge conflicts — if the PR has conflicts:

    bash
    git fetch origin main
git merge origin/main

    Resolve conflicts by reading both sides and choosing the correct resolution. For ambiguous conflicts, ask the user. After resolving:

    bash
    git add -A && git commit -m "fix: resolve merge conflicts" && git push

  6. Re-check status — after pushing fixes, wait for CI to run and check again:

    bash
    gh pr checks --watch

    If new failures appear, go back to step 3. Limit to 3 rounds to avoid infinite loops.

  7. Report — summarize what was done:

    • Which CI checks were failing and how they were fixed
    • Which review comments were addressed
    • Whether merge conflicts were resolved
    • Current PR status (ready to merge, or what's still blocking)
Show full SKILL.md (110 more words)Show less

Loop Behavior

This skill is designed to run in a loop:

Check PR → Find issues → Fix issues → Push → Re-check → Repeat

Stop when:

  • All checks pass, no unresolved comments, no conflicts → PR is merge-ready
  • 3 fix-push-check cycles have been attempted without full resolution → report what's still failing
  • A fix requires a design decision → ask the user

Notes

  • Never force-push to a shared PR branch.
  • Don't modify test assertions to make tests pass unless the behavior change was intentional.
  • Don't resolve review comments you're unsure about — skip them and let the user know.
  • If CI is queued/pending, wait for it to complete before analyzing failures.
  • Use gh pr ready to mark the PR as ready for review once everything is green.
