Babysit PR

Your job is to get this PR to a merge-ready state.

Check PR status, comments, and latest CI and resolve any issues until the PR is ready to merge.

  1. Merge conflicts: Intelligently resolve any merge conflicts, preserving the intent and correctness of changes on your branch and the base branch. If intents conflict, abort the merge and ask for clarification.
  2. Comments: Review active unresolved comments (including Bugbot) and resolve change requests / bug reports where valid. When fetching GitHub comments, filter out resolved threads first. Read only each comment body and the minimum location/URL needed to act on it; do not read the entire JSON output or other unnecessary payload data. Carefully validate issues reported by Bugbot and only take action on those that are valid; explain when you disagree or are unsure.
  3. CI: Fix CI issues caused by changes within this PR's scope. Never change CI checks/workflows just to make failures pass, or make unrelated code changes; if that would be required, report back instead. For merge-blocking failures that seem unrelated to this PR, check whether the branch is behind the base branch and merge latest changes, since another PR may have fixed them. Push scoped fixes and re-watch CI until mergeable + green + comments triaged.

Tips by platform

Claude

With Claude, drop this skill into Project knowledge so every chat in the project inherits it. Ask Claude to restate the goal first, then run — it catches edge cases early.

ChatGPT

For ChatGPT, save this skill as a Custom Instruction or a saved prompt so it is one click away. Add your specifics in a follow-up rather than editing the original.

Cursor

Cursor users can store this skill as a project rule so Agent mode applies it automatically. Mention it with @ when you want it scoped to a single task.
