Babysit PR

Keeps watching a pull request — CI, comments, and unresolved review threads — until it's genuinely ready to merge.

Dev & CodingIntermediate★ 94,479⑂ 8,352AI score 9/10Last updated: Sep 22, 2026

What it does

  • Identifies the PR number, head and base branch, then checks draft status, mergeability, checks, and review decision.
  • Polls pending CI checks every 30–60 seconds (or your requested cadence) until they finish.
  • Pulls every unresolved review thread via GitHub GraphQL with proper pagination, then filters them into a readable TSV with jq.
  • Fixes real findings in focused commits, runs tests/builds, pushes, and loops back to re-check.
  • Resolves stale threads only after verifying the code or generated artifact actually addresses the comment.
  • Ends with concrete evidence: latest commit SHA, check names/results, unresolved thread count, tests run, dirty local files.

Who it's for

  • Teams working through GitHub PRs with noisy review bots.
  • Developers stuck waiting on slow CI who keep missing new comments.
  • Maintainers who want to hand off "watch this until it's mergeable" to Claude.

Example uses

  1. "Babysit PR #482 until it can merge" — polls checks, lists unresolved threads, commits fixes, repeats.
  2. A PR with 30+ bot comments: the GraphQL loop extracts only unresolved threads so they can be triaged in order.
  3. A bot flags a generated file: the skill verifies source and generated artifact agree before resolving the thread.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the plugin/skills/babysit folder from the GitHub repo thedotmack/claude-mem into my ~/.claude/skills/babysit/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem.git /tmp/claude-mem && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/babysit && cp -r /tmp/claude-mem/plugin/skills/babysit/* ~/.claude/skills/babysit/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Prerequisites: install GitHub CLI (gh) and jq, then run gh auth login.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem.git /tmp/claude-mem
  3. Create the skill folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/babysit
  4. Copy the files: cp -r /tmp/claude-mem/plugin/skills/babysit/* ~/.claude/skills/babysit/
  5. Restart Claude Code, cd into the target repository, and ask: "babysit PR #<number> until it's mergeable".
  6. To change the polling rhythm, just say so — e.g. "check every 20 seconds".
