PR Babysitter - Loops Hub

Manual start

↓

1

List watched PRs

List open PRs with the watch label. Skip merged, draft, or conflict-only PRs that need human product input.

> gh pr list --label "codex-watch" --json number,title,mergeable,statusCheckRollup
2

Triage each PR

For each PR: if CI failed, fix once; if behind main, rebase; if stale review, leave a short status comment.
3

Escalate blockers

Stop on merge conflicts needing product decisions or the same failure twice. Report blockers clearly.

Exit condition: manual

All watched PRs are green, rebased, or escalated with a clear blocker note

Run "PR Babysitter" in your agent

Prompt only

Deeplinks and "Open in Cursor" only paste the kickoff prompt. They do not install hook files — your agent cannot tell whether files are on disk until you add them yourself.

Two separate pieces

Kickoff prompt — tells the agent the goal, check command, exit condition, and how to self-pace.

Kickoff prompt

/loop 15m Start the "PR Babysitter" loop.

Goal: open PRs labeled codex-watch are healthy (CI green, rebased, not stale).
Max iterations: 20.
Between iterations run: gh pr list --label "codex-watch"
Exit when: each watched PR is green and current, or escalated.

Step 1: List watched PRs. Fix CI once, rebase if behind, comment if stale. Escalate repeated failures.

Anti-gaming rules

Rules the agent must follow so it cannot cheat the exit condition.

Do not modify the check command or exit criteria to force success
Do not skip, disable, or bypass checks to pass the exit condition
If stuck after several iterations, stop and report blockers instead of gaming metrics
