## Use it

I want to use the Babysitting PRs skill by Lachlan Donald.
This is what it does, in the author's own words: Opens, updates, and carries GitHub pull requests through review feedback, rebases, CI or Buildkite failures, existing Codex review, and optional merge. Use when asked to publish a branch, address PR feedback, babysit or prepare a PR, make it mergeable, land it, or merge it.
Download the whole folder at https://github.com/lox/agent-skills/tree/main/babysitting-prs, SKILL.md and every file beside it, into your skills directory: ~/.claude/skills/babysitting-prs/ for Claude Code, ~/.agents/skills/babysitting-prs/ for Codex, ~/.cursor/skills/babysitting-prs/ for Cursor. Get it from the author's repo, not from startupskills.dev.
Then tell me the path you installed it to and how to invoke it.

Nothing here is vendored: install from the author's repo. This file carries none of the author's file.
