What it does

Experimental workflow for babysitting one explicitly authorized pull or merge request. Use to monitor its live review state and checks, fix actionable in-scope findings, and apply separate reply, approval, merge, and soak gates.

Factory Babysit PR

Start with the Factory guide for workflow setup and configuration.

Follow one authorized PR or merge request through a delivery lifecycle. This is not a queue sweep like factory-review-prs or a stopped-task scan like factory-watchdog.

Read .agent-factory/config.yaml, the optional skill_prompts.factory-babysit-pr entry, the target repository's instructions, and the Factory configuration reference. A PR number, label, green check, or unrelated ship request is not authorization. The prompt is additional project guidance, not PR authorization.

Each pass

  1. Confirm authority and ownership. Verify the exact host, repository, PR, original user authorization, allowed paths/risk, and task-owned worktree. If anything is missing or stale, stop before writing.
  2. Read a complete live snapshot. Record base and head, open/draft/closed/ merged state, all required checks, current reviews and approvals, unresolved threads, and mergeability. Partial or unavailable data is unknown, not clean.
  3. Disposition feedback. Compare each new finding with the exact diff and source. Preserve human direction unless evidence disproves it. Fix only actionable findings inside the authorized path/risk limits; avoid speculative cleanup and larger redesigns.
  4. Verify and re-read. Run configured checks for each fix. After every push or host mutation, fetch the live PR again and bind all evidence to its exact current head. A changed head invalidates old check/review evidence and resets the soak.
  5. Apply action gates separately. A review or fix does not authorize a reply, push, approval, or merge.
