At a glance

Wait for a pull request's checks to settle in one long-running command, then report passed, skipped, and failed jobs with run links.

  • The user asks Codex to watch a pull request
  • Runs Shell scripts from its folder; calls bash and gh
  • Whenever another workflow needs the result before continuing

What it does

Codex Watch PR is an agent skill from tbhb/vale-ai-tells. Wait for a pull request's checks to settle in one long-running command, then report passed, skipped, and failed jobs with run links. Use whenever the user asks Codex to watch a pull request or wait for CI, and whenever another workflow needs the result before continuing.

Its SKILL.md is about 350 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/watch-checks.sh` and `tokens.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests. The repository describes itself as: In today's rapidly evolving landscape, vale-ai-tells is a comprehensive, cutting-edge Vale style package that empowers writers to seamlessly delve into the rich tapestry of AI…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks Codex to watch a pull request
  • Whenever another workflow needs the result before continuing

Example prompts

  • “/codex-watch-pr”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c7abc9. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash
    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, 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

Codex Watch PR loads about 346 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 160 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~346

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Wait for a pull request's checks to settle in one long-running command, then report passed, skipped, and failed jobs with run links. Use whenever the user asks Codex to watch a pull request or wait for CI, and whenever another workflow needs the result before continuing.

Watch a pull request

Use the pull request number in the task, or omit it for the current branch's open pull request. Start one blocking command with a long yield:

bash
bash .agents/skills/codex-watch-pr/scripts/watch-checks.sh <number>

Set the execution yield to at most 30 seconds. If it returns a running session, continue it with write_stdin using empty input and a wait of up to 300 seconds. Keep waiting on that same session. Don't start another watcher or poll gh pr checks between waits. Send a concise progress update at least once a minute while checks remain pending.

The script emits PASS, SKIP, and FAIL events and closes with ALL GREEN, FAILED, TIMEOUT, or NO CHECKS. Exit codes are 0 for green, 1 for failures, and 2 for timeout or absent checks. Timeout and absent checks are inconclusive, not failures. Report the pull request, failed jobs, and printed run links. Invoke codex-fix-pr only when the caller requested remediation.

PR_CHECKS_TIMEOUT and PR_CHECKS_INTERVAL override the script bounds in seconds.
