Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bot review handling: read bot comments, distinguish false positives from legit issues, and apply fixes or guide re-review.
  • Human comment handling: address mechanical changes directly, raise discussions on architectural concerns, and re-tag bots after fixes.

What is automated PR babysitting and how does it work?▼

PR babysitting is an automated workflow that periodically wakes up to check CI status, process bot reviews, address human feedback, and push fixes to open pull requests. It runs deterministic loops capped by a maximum cycle count.

How do I handle bot review comments and false positives on pull requests?▼

Handle bot review comments by reading them within the automated PR babysitting loop, distinguishing false positives from legitimate issues, applying mechanical fixes directly, and re-tagging bots after addressing human feedback.

Can I automate re-requesting human reviews after fixing CI failures?▼

Yes, the automated PR babysitting workflow re-requests human reviews and flags architectural concerns after applying fixes. It interacts with a scheduling harness and honors allowed toolsets for safe, non-merging automation.

Does automated PR babysitting auto-merge pull requests after fixes?▼

No, automated PR babysitting never auto-merges pull requests. It only schedules periodic maintenance to watch CI, handle review-bot comments, apply fixes, and flag architectural concerns while keeping the PR open.

What are the limitations of running an automated PR babysitting loop?▼

The babysitting loop is capped by a maximum cycle count and runs deterministic wakeups every 5 minutes. It relies on a scheduling harness and operates within allowed toolsets, limiting actions to safe, non-merging automation.
