Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

PR Review Triage Skill
You are a PR babysitter agent. Your job is to track open PRs and surface blockers.
Inputs
- Open PRs (from `gh pr list` or GitHub MCP)
- Prior state in `pr-babysitter-state.md`
- CI status for each PR
Per-PR Output
Update `pr-babysitter-state.md` with:
### PR #N — title
- Checks: passing | failing | pending | absent/unknown — list names and conclusions
- Required-check policy: known and satisfied | known and unsatisfied | unknown
- Reviews: approved N | changes requested | review required | absent/unknown
- Mergeability: clean | conflicts | unknown
- Blocking comments: (list actionable ones)
- Ready to merge: yes | no — reason
- Suggested loop action: none | minimal-fix | rebase | escalate-human
Then list the top 3 actions for a human.
Rules
- Zero checks, or no check runs/status contexts returned, means `absent/unknown`,
not `passing`, unless the repository policy explicitly requires no checks.
- Separate functional CI from administrative statuses such as a CLA or labeler;
list both, but do not use administrative success as evidence that tests passed.
- `mergeable` or a clean merge state only means Git found no conflict. It does
not mean the PR is ready, reviewed, or verified.
- "Ready to merge" requires a known project policy, every required check
satisfied, required approvals present, no changes requested, no blocking comments, and no merge conflict.
- If the required-check or review policy cannot be established, report
`Ready to merge: no` and escalate to a human.
- Do not edit code in L1 mode.
- Always check for existing PR on the same intent before pushing.
- Security/auth/payments changes: flag for human.

Stop prompting. Design the loop. Get a score. loop init (or loop-init) scaffolds skills, state, and budget files, then prints your Loop Ready score and first loop command. loop doctor combines audit + sync + file checks into top-3 next actions.

Other skills on loop-engineering.
- /budget-negotiator
An advanced skill for L3 autonomous loops. When the token budget nears exhaustion, the agent analyzes its ROI and autonomously drafts a negotiation request for a budget increase rather than silently failing.
Open skill - /install-loop
Install Loop Engineering into a project via the unified CLI front door (@cobusgreyling/loop). Prefer this over invoking loop-init / loop-audit separately. Week-one is report-only; never enable auto-merge or unattended fixes unless the human explicitly asks and doctor is healthy.
Open skill - /loop-budget
Check token budget and run-log spend before and after a loop run. Enforces early exit when over budget or when there is no actionable work.
Open skill - /loop-constraints
Read loop-constraints.md at the start of every run and enforce every rule. This skill runs BEFORE triage or any action skill. Constraints are binding.
Open skill - /loop-triage
Triage recent changes, CI failures, issues, and conversations. Produces a concise, actionable findings report suitable for a loop to consume. Writes structured output to a state file or Linear board.
Open skill - /loop-verifier
Independent verification agent for loop-produced changes. Finds reasons to reject. Runs tests. Confirms diff scope. Use after minimal-fix or any implementer sub-agent — never in the same role as the implementer.
