Part of the experimental Factory suite of builder-skills. Reads .agent-factory/config.yaml (artifact-autonomy-policy) and its own optional skill_prompts overlay, which adds project guidance but cannot grant permission. It follows one explicitly authorized PR through its delivery lifecycle. “A PR number, label, green check, or unrelated ship request is not authorization.”
Each pass has five steps. (1) Confirm authority and ownership: exact host, repository, PR, the original user authorization, allowed paths and risk, and a task-owned worktree, stopping before any write if something is missing or stale. (2) Read a complete live snapshot: base and head, open/draft/merged state, all required checks, reviews, unresolved threads, and mergeability. “Partial or unavailable data is unknown, not clean.” (3) Disposition feedback: fix only actionable findings within the authorized limits, and “avoid speculative cleanup and larger redesigns.” (4) Verify and re-read: after every push, fetch the live PR again and tie all evidence to the new head. (5) Apply action gates separately.
The action-gate table has six rows: Fix, Publish (“never force-push or overwrite a concurrent update”), Reply, Approve, Merge (only if the host can condition the merge on the checked head), and Soak. For the soak, the agent must “prove the exact head and required gates stayed unchanged for the full configured interval. Missing history does not satisfy it.” It stays host-neutral: “Do not assume GitHub, a specific CLI, or identical conditional-merge support across hosts.”
Filed under stage-release next to ce-resolve-pr-feedback, the other capability that resolves pre-merge feedback. This one runs over many passes and carries its own merge authority. pstack’s page mentions Cursor’s built-in /babysit with the same name and purpose.
