PR babysit (watch & drive to green)

Use this to shepherd a pull request to a mergeable state: monitor checks and review comments, and delegate fixes as needed.

Dependency: this skill needs read access to the PR — either the GitHub MCP server enabled, or the gh CLI available to the tester/run_command tool. If neither is configured, tell the user and stop.

Loop

1. Fetch status. Get the PR's CI checks, mergeability, and review comments via the GitHub MCP tools, or gh pr view <n> --json ... / gh pr checks <n> through run_command.
2. Triage.
   • CI failing -> delegate a tester (or implementer) to reproduce, diagnose, and fix.
   • Changes requested in review -> delegate an implementer to address each comment.
   • Green + approved -> you are done.
3. Re-check. After fixes are merged in, fetch status again.
4. Repeat steps 1–3 until the PR is green and approved, or you hit the round limit.
5. Summarize. Report the final PR state and what was changed.

Notes

• Do not merge or close the PR yourself — surface the green/approved state and let the user merge.
• Keep polling bounded (respect the round/turn limits); report progress between rounds.
