babysit: Research & Knowledge for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

WHEN a pushed branch or open PR must reach green CI without the user watching, or WHEN you are about to hand-write a CI poller, watcher, or re-run loop to escort one pushed branch—monitor checks, fix failures, commit, push, and repeat until success, merge, or a bounded stop; NOT for creating the commit series or the PR itself (ship-pr), NOT for watching many PRs as an agent inbox (github-monitor), and NOT for writing a poller, watcher, or notifier that ships as source code in a product, service, or repository script; works on GitHub with gh and on Forgejo or Gitea with tea, asks once whether the PR needs a label, classifies every red check as branch, infra, or base failure, and reports each transition without posting PR comments.

Babysit

Stay with one branch's CI until it is green and its PR merges. The user has walked away; the loop's job is to make their return boring: either "it merged" or one precise blocker that only they can clear.

Prerequisites

An existing branch pushed to the remote, with or without an open PR. If the branch is not pushed, stop and tell the user to run ship-pr first; do not commit, push, or open the PR under this skill's authority.
Forge access:
- GitHub: gh authenticated (gh auth status).
- Forgejo or Gitea: tea logged in (tea logins list). tea api <endpoint> sends an authenticated request and fills {owner} and {repo} from the current repository, so never search the filesystem for the token. Each step below names the gh command and its tea equivalent; the loop is the same.
Load core:commit-messages before writing any fix commit.

Authority

Treat invocation as authorization to diagnose failing checks, commit fixes, push to the watched branch, re-run CI runs, and apply the label the user approves. Reserve for explicit user direction: merging the PR yourself, history rewrites or force-pushes, changes to product behavior beyond what the failing check requires, and any push to the base branch or to another lane's branch—a red there is reported, never patched uninvited.

Never post PR or issue comments about the loop's own activity—rounds fixed, retries, status. To the reviewer that is noise; the commit history and this session's reports are the record.

1. Fix the target

Identify the branch, its open PR, the base branch, and the current head SHA: gh pr view <n> --json number,headRefName,baseRefName,headRefOid, or tea api '/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/<n>' (read head.sha and base.ref). Every check result belongs to one head SHA, so record it—after each push the watch must re-target the new head, or it will report a stale verdict.

When there is no PR, the base is the base branch the user names explicitly; otherwise it is the remote's default branch. The watched branch is never its own base. Skip step 2. The watch in step 3 reads the commit status of the head SHA, which needs no PR.

Anchor the local checkout to that head before any local gate or fix: run git fetch, then confirm that the watched branch is checked out, the worktree is clean, and local HEAD equals the observed head SHA. On any mismatch, stop and report it; do not commit or push from a checkout that does not match the watched head.

Before you arm the watch, run the repository's cheap local gates (lint, typecheck, unit tests). Do not run slow suites here: arm the watch first, then run every test file this branch adds or changes during the CI wait (step 6). A failure found locally costs seconds; the same failure found by CI costs a full round-trip.

Complete when: branch, base, head SHA, and the PR (when one exists) are explicit, and the cheap gates pass locally or their failures are already being fixed.

2. Settle the label question

Ask once, at the start—not when CI goes green, because a label such as auto-merge must already be on the PR for the forge to land it the moment checks pass, without another round-trip through this loop.

Fetch the repository's real labels (gh label list or tea labels ls) and ask the user whether this PR needs one, offering the labels that plausibly apply (auto-merge, release, area labels). Apply the choice with gh pr edit --add-label <label> or tea pr edit <n> --add-labels <label>. Offer only labels that exist: the forge refuses a label the repository does not have. If the user declines or does not answer, proceed without one and do not ask again.

Complete when: the label is applied, or the user has declined, once.

3. Arm the watch

Prefer a watcher that wakes the loop on a state change (a background gh pr checks --watch, or a Monitor/background task that polls and exits on a state change) over ad-hoc sleeping. Requirements for whatever mechanism is available:

Structured status only: read check state for the head SHA from the forge's structured status. GitHub with a PR: gh pr checks <n> --json name,state,bucket. GitHub without a PR: gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits/<sha>/check-runs --paginate (read each check_runs[].status and conclusion) plus gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits/<sha>/status --paginate for legacy commit statuses. Forgejo or Gitea: tea api '/repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits/<sha>/status?page=<n>&limit=50' (read state and each statuses[].context with its status; step page until total_count contexts are read). Never derive a verdict by grepping human-readable output (tea pr <n>, run summaries, log text) for failure words: a check that reports "Failing" passes a grep for "failed", and the loop reports a red run as green.
Cadence: 20–30 seconds while a run is in flight. CI rounds are the bottleneck of this whole loop; a slow poller adds dead minutes to every round. Back off to 15–25 minutes only when waiting on something external (base branch red, merge queue position, a re-run a human must start).
Exit with names: the watcher must surface the exact failing check names, not just "failed"—that is the input to classification.
Follow the head: after every push, re-arm against the new head SHA.
Bounded: give the watcher a time window (a few hours) so a hung run cannot silently absorb the session.

State once, when arming the first watch: this loop runs on the user's machine. Server-side automation (CI, an armed auto-merge) continues if they close the session, but red builds will wait unfixed until a session returns.

Complete when: a watcher is running against the current head and will wake the loop on failure, success, or merge.

4. Classify every red

Diagnosis before fixing: pull the failing job's log by its run and job id, and select the run by the watched head SHA, not by branch alone. GitHub: gh run list --branch <branch> --commit <sha> for the run id, then gh run view <run-id> --log-failed. Forgejo or Gitea: tea actions runs list --branch <branch> -o json, keep the run whose commit is the watched head SHA, tea actions runs view <run-id> --jobs -o json and pick the job whose name matches the failing check, then tea actions runs logs <run-id> --job <job-id>. Never enumerate run or job ids by guessing. Reproduce the failure locally with the exact command the workflow file gives the failing job, not a near-equivalent: a local run with different flags, shards, or environment proves nothing about CI. If the log API fights back—wrong run offsets, missing runs—do not spelunk; the workflow file's command is still the diagnosis. The local reproduction is both the diagnosis and the fix's verification.

Observation	Classification	Action
The exact CI command reproduces the failure locally on this head and passes on the base, or the log names code, configuration, or dependencies in this branch's diff (`git diff <base>...HEAD`)	Branch failure	Fix it (step 5).
Runner or host errors, container or network deadlines, forge outages, checks that die before tests run—evidence about the runner, not about the tested code; a test that itself times out is a branch failure	Infra failure	Count a strike. Cool off 10–15 minutes. Re-run without moving the head: `gh run rerun <run-id> --failed`, or the forge's re-run API where it exists. When no re-run command or API exists, use the forge web UI re-run yourself when you have browser access. Without browser access, check for stacked branches: `gh pr list --base <branch>` or `tea pr ls -o json -f index,base`. No PR uses this branch as base: push an empty commit. A PR uses this branch as base: do not push, because a new head leaves every stacked branch behind; report the web UI re-run as the human action and keep watching at the slow cadence. When no re-run route exists at all, stop and report the blocker. After 3 strikes, stop re-running and report the exact infra action a human must take.
The PR's own checks are green but the base branch or merge queue is red or holding; or the same failure reproduces on the base branch without this branch's diff	Base failure	Not this PR's fault. Report plainly whose failure it is and what unblocks it, drop to the slow cadence, and keep watching. An armed auto-merge lands the PR once the base recovers; without one, report green and hand back.

When the evidence is inconclusive, treat the red as a branch failure and diagnose it (step 5); count no infra strike without runner evidence.

Strike and attempt counters are per check name, not per session. A check that fails after a different check was fixed starts its own count.

The classification is what keeps the loop honest. Re-running an infra flake silently reads to the user as "still failing"; fixing the base uninvited tramples someone else's lane; treating a branch bug as a flake wastes re-run rounds. Say which class each red fell into, every time, and name every failing check.

Complete when: the current red has a stated class and its action is in progress.

5. Fix, push, re-arm

For a branch failure:

Open every repair report with the counter and its bound: Fix attempt n/3. If attempt 3/3 fails, stop all watchers and return the blocker to the user.
Reproduce locally and apply the smallest change that makes the failing check pass while preserving the branch's intent. When the honest fix would change product behavior, a public API, a schema, or data, report the options instead and await direction—that decision is the user's.
Run the failing check locally until green, plus any gates the fix could plausibly break.
Commit with core:commit-messages, push, re-arm the watch on the new head (step 3), and continue.

If the same check fails again, diagnose fresh rather than iterating blindly.

Complete when: the fix is pushed and the watch is re-armed, or the attempt reaches 3/3 and the loop has stopped with the blocker reported.

6. Use the wait

While CI runs, spend the round-trip pre-empting the next one. First run every test file this branch adds or changes (git diff --name-only <base>...HEAD), slow suites included, with the command the workflow file uses for them: a test that has never run locally is the most likely red, so do not leave it to CI alone. Then run the remaining local gates the pushed head has not yet passed locally (full lint, typecheck, slower suites). A failure caught here becomes part of the next push instead of its own CI round.

Do not invent other work; the loop's scope is this branch's green.

Complete when: every gate that can run locally has, before CI reports.

7. Report, notify, stop

Report at every transition without being asked—new red (with its check names, class, and strike/attempt count), fix pushed (with the new head SHA), green, held, merged. The user asking "how's it looking" or "is it still failing" means the loop's reporting has already failed.

# Babysit

Stay with one branch's CI until it is green and its PR merges. The user has
walked away; the loop's job is to make their return boring: either "it
merged" or one precise blocker that only they can clear.

## Prerequisites

- An existing branch pushed to the remote, with or without an open PR. If the
branch is not pushed, stop and tell the user to run `ship-pr` first; do not
commit, push, or open the PR under this skill's authority.
- Forge access:
- GitHub: `gh` authenticated (`gh auth status`).
- Forgejo or Gitea: `tea` logged in (`tea logins list`). `tea api <endpoint>`
sends an authenticated request and fills `{owner}` and `{repo}` from the
current repository, so never search the filesystem for the token. Each
step below names the `gh` command and its `tea` equivalent; the loop is
the same.
- Load `core:commit-messages` before writing any fix commit.

## Authority

Treat invocation as authorization to diagnose failing checks, commit fixes,
push to the watched branch, re-run CI runs, and apply the label the user
approves. Reserve for explicit user direction: merging the PR yourself,
history rewrites or force-pushes, changes to product behavior beyond what the
failing check requires, and any push to the base branch or to another lane's
branch—a red there is reported, never patched uninvited.

Never post PR or issue comments about the loop's own activity—rounds fixed,
retries, status. To the reviewer that is noise; the commit history and this
session's reports are the record.

## 1. Fix the target

Identify the branch, its open PR, the base branch, and the current head SHA:
`gh pr view <n> --json number,headRefName,baseRefName,headRefOid`, or
`tea api '/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/<n>'` (read `head.sha` and `base.ref`).
Every check result belongs to one head SHA, so record it—after each push the
watch must re-target the new head, or it will report a stale verdict.

When there is no PR, the base is the base branch the user names explicitly;
otherwise it is the remote's default branch. The watched branch is never its
own base. Skip step 2. The watch in step 3 reads the commit status of the head
SHA, which needs no PR.

Anchor the local checkout to that head before any local gate or fix: run
`git fetch`, then confirm that the watched branch is checked out, the worktree
is clean, and local `HEAD` equals the observed head SHA. On any mismatch, stop
and report it; do not commit or push from a checkout that does not match the
watched head.

Before you arm the watch, run the repository's cheap local gates (lint,
typecheck, unit tests). Do not run slow suites here: arm the watch first, then
run every test file this branch adds or changes during the CI wait (step 6).
A failure found locally costs seconds; the same failure found by CI costs a
full round-trip.

**Complete when:** branch, base, head SHA, and the PR (when one exists) are

ask the user whether this PR needs one, offering the labels that plausibly

`gh pr edit --add-label <label>` or `tea pr edit <n> --add-labels <label>`.
Offer only labels that exist: the forge refuses a label the repository does
not have. If the user declines or does not answer, proceed without one and do
not ask again.

**Complete when:** the label is applied, or the user has declined, once.

## 3. Arm the watch

Prefer a watcher that wakes the loop on a state change (a background
`gh pr checks --watch`, or a Monitor/background task that polls and exits on a
state change) over ad-hoc sleeping. Requirements for whatever mechanism is available:

- **Structured status only:** read check state for the head SHA from the

`gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits/<sha>/check-runs --paginate` (read each
`check_runs[].status` and `conclusion`) plus
`gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits/<sha>/status --paginate` for legacy
commit statuses. Forgejo or Gitea:
`tea api '/repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits/<sha>/status?page=<n>&limit=50'`
(read `state` and each `statuses[].context` with its `status`; step `page`
until `total_count` contexts are read). Never derive a verdict by
grepping human-readable output (`tea pr <n>`, run summaries, log text) for
failure words: a check that reports "Failing" passes a grep for "failed",
and the loop reports a red run as green.
- **Cadence:** 20–30 seconds while a run is in flight. CI rounds are the
bottleneck of this whole loop; a slow poller adds dead minutes to every
round. Back off to 15–25 minutes only when waiting on something external

State once, when arming the first watch: this loop runs on the user's

close the session, but red builds will wait unfixed until a session returns.

**Complete when:** a watcher is running against the current head and will
wake the loop on failure, success, or merge.

## 4. Classify every red

Diagnosis before fixing: pull the failing job's log by its run and job id,
and select the run by the watched head SHA, not by branch alone. GitHub:
`gh run list --branch <branch> --commit <sha>` for the run id, then
`gh run view <run-id> --log-failed`. Forgejo or Gitea:
`tea actions runs list --branch <branch> -o json`, keep the run whose commit
is the watched head SHA, `tea actions runs view <run-id> --jobs -o json` and
pick the job whose name matches the failing check, then
`tea actions runs logs <run-id> --job <job-id>`. Never enumerate run or job
ids by guessing. Reproduce the failure locally with the exact command the
workflow file gives the failing job, not a near-equivalent: a local run with
different flags, shards, or environment proves nothing about CI. If the log
API fights back—wrong run offsets, missing runs—do not spelunk; the workflow
file's command is still the diagnosis. The local reproduction is both the
diagnosis and the fix's verification.

| Observation | Classification | Action |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The exact CI command reproduces the failure locally on this head and passes on the base, or the log names code, configuration, or dependencies in this branch's diff (`git diff <base>...HEAD`) | **Branch failure** | Fix it (step 5). |
| Runner or host errors, container or network deadlines, forge outages, checks that die before tests run—evidence about the runner, not about the tested code; a test that itself times out is a branch failure | **Infra failure** | Count a strike. Cool off 10–15 minutes. Re-run without moving the head: `gh run rerun <run-id> --failed`, or the forge's re-run API where it exists. When no re-run command or API exists, use the forge web UI re-run yourself when you have browser access. Without browser access, check for stacked branches: `gh pr list --base <branch>` or `tea pr ls -o json -f index,base`. No PR uses this branch as base: push an empty commit. A PR uses this branch as base: do not push, because a new head leaves every stacked branch behind; report the web UI re-run as the human action and keep watching at the slow cadence. When no re-run route exists at all, stop and report the blocker. After 3 strikes, stop re-running and report the exact infra action a human must take. |
| The PR's own checks are green but the base branch or merge queue is red or holding; or the same failure reproduces on the base branch without this branch's diff | **Base failure** | Not this PR's fault. Report plainly whose failure it is and what unblocks it, drop to the slow cadence, and keep watching. An armed auto-merge lands the PR once the base recovers; without one, report green and hand back. |

When the evidence is inconclusive, treat the red as a branch failure and
diagnose it (step 5); count no infra strike without runner evidence.

Strike and attempt counters are per check name, not per session. A check that
fails after a different check was fixed starts its own count.

The classification is what keeps the loop honest. Re-running an infra flake
silently reads to the user as "still failing"; fixing the base uninvited
tramples someone else's lane; treating a branch bug as a flake wastes
re-run rounds. Say which class each red fell into, every time, and name
every failing check.

**Complete when:** the current red has a stated class and its action is in
progress.

## 5. Fix, push, re-arm

For a branch failure:

1. Open every repair report with the counter and its bound: `Fix attempt n/3.
If attempt 3/3 fails, stop all watchers and return the blocker to the
user.`
2. Reproduce locally and apply the smallest change that makes the failing
check pass while preserving the branch's intent. When the honest fix
would change product behavior, a public API, a schema, or data, report
the options instead and await direction—that decision is the user's.
3. Run the failing check locally until green, plus any gates the fix could
plausibly break.
4. Commit with `core:commit-messages`, push, re-arm the watch on the new
head (step 3), and continue.

If the same check fails again, diagnose fresh rather than iterating blindly.

**Complete when:** the fix is pushed and the watch is re-armed, or the
attempt reaches 3/3 and the loop has stopped with the blocker reported.

## 6. Use the wait

While CI runs, spend the round-trip pre-empting the next one. First run every
test file this branch adds or changes (`git diff --name-only <base>...HEAD`),
slow suites included, with the command the workflow file uses for them: a
test that has never run locally is the most likely red, so do not leave it to
CI alone. Then run the remaining local gates the pushed head has not yet
passed locally (full lint, typecheck, slower suites). A failure caught here
becomes part of the next push instead of its own CI round.

Do not invent other work; the loop's scope is this branch's green.

**Complete when:** every gate that can run locally has, before CI reports.

## 7. Report, notify, stop

Report at every transition without being asked—new red (with its check
names, class, and strike/attempt count), fix pushed (with the new head SHA),
green, held, merged. The user asking "how's it looking" or "is it still
failing" means the loop's reporting has already failed.
