SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents merge delays by continuously monitoring a pull request for failing checks, unresolved review threads, and new actionable feedback until the PR is truly ready to merge.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Continuous PR monitoring: Watches mergeability, CI/check results, review decisions, and comment threads over time rather than doing a single status glance.
  • Unresolved review thread handling: Fetches review threads via GitHub GraphQL, distinguishes stale/outdated threads, and only resolves threads after confirming the fix is present.
  • Evidence-based finalization: Performs a final sweep and reports concrete signals like latest commit SHA, failing check names/results, unresolved thread count, and tests/reads performed.

Quick Start

Tell the AI to babysit pull request <NUMBER> on <OWNER/REPO> and keep checking until all checks pass or the merge decision is acceptable with no unresolved actionable review threads remaining.
