+# PR Babysitter — Hermes Agent (`hermes cron`)
+
+This is a practical, copy-pasteable example of a PR babysitter loop using Hermes.
+
+Hermes ships a native scheduler on its **gateway** — map the loop to `hermes cron`
+instead of a TUI `/loop`. Optional **channel delivery** (Feishu, Slack, Telegram,
+Discord, WhatsApp, SMS) can ping blockers into the channel the team already watches
+once you trust the output; week one stays on `--deliver local`.
+
+## Cron job (week one — report only)
+
+Isolated session each tick: reads GitHub state, updates `pr-babysitter-state.md`,
+no code edits, **no merges**.
+
+```bash
+hermes cron create "*/15 * * * *" \
+  --name "PR babysitter" \
+  --deliver local \
+  --skill pr-review-triage \
+  --workdir "$PWD" \
+  "Run the pr-review-triage skill on all open PRs. Read pr-babysitter-state.md first, then update it with current CI status, review state, merge conflicts, and unanswered comments. Do not merge or push fixes in week one — report only. Flag anything ambiguous or high-risk for human review in pr-babysitter-state.md. End with the top 3 human actions."
+```
+
+- `--deliver local` writes output to `~/.hermes/cron/output/` only — nothing lands
+  in the human's chat history until you trust the output. Swap for `--deliver origin`
+  (current chat), a home channel name (e.g. `slack`, `feishu`), or
+  `platform:chat_id:thread_id` for a specific thread.
+- `--workdir "$PWD"` injects `AGENTS.md` / `CLAUDE.md` / `.cursorrules` from the
+  project into the system prompt and pins the terminal cwd to the repo.
+- Repeat `--skill` to attach multiple skills (e.g. `--skill pr-review-triage
+  --skill github-workflow` if PR reads go through a GitHub skill instead of `gh`).
+- Operations: `hermes cron run <job-id>` for a one-off test tick, then
+  `pause` / `resume` / `edit` / `remove` as needed.
+
+## Progression
+
+- **Week one — report only.** Fresh isolated session each tick appends to
+  `pr-babysitter-state.md`. Read it yourself before acting on any suggestion.
+  Human gates all merges.
+- **Week two — minimal fixes in worktrees.** Extend the prompt to propose fixes
+  in an isolated worktree for allowlisted low-risk PRs only — one worktree per
+  fix attempt via [`loop-worktree`](../../docs/QUICKSTART.md#l2-isolated-fix-attempts-loop-worktree)
+  so retries never collide on the same branch. Draft PRs only; never force-push.
+- **Week two — verifier split.** A separate verifier approves before any fix is
+  committed: a second `delegate_task` call with a review-only prompt, or a chained
+  cron job via `hermes cron edit <fixer-id> --context-from <triage-id>` (the
+  upstream job's stdout is injected into the downstream prompt). Never let the
+  implementer mark its own work done. Escalate after 3 attempts per PR.
+- **Add channel delivery.** Swap `--deliver local` for a home channel once the
+  output has earned trust; set channel `allowFrom` / mention rules first.
+
+Week-two worktree lifecycle (see the
+[loop-worktree subsection of the QUICKSTART](../../docs/QUICKSTART.md#l2-isolated-fix-attempts-loop-worktree)):
+
+```bash
+npx @cobusgreyling/loop-worktree create --run-id pr-217-fix-1 --pattern pr-babysitter
+# fix + verifier run inside the printed worktree path
+npx @cobusgreyling/loop-worktree mark --run-id pr-217-fix-1 --status rejected   # verifier said no
+npx @cobusgreyling/loop-worktree cleanup --older-than 24h
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- [Hermes Agent](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs) installed and
+  configured (`hermes setup`)
+- `pr-babysitter-state.md` in the repo root (from `starters/pr-babysitter/`)
+- The `pr-review-triage` skill in `~/.hermes/skills/pr-review-triage/SKILL.md`
+  (user-scoped) or `.hermes/skills/` (project-scoped) — the `SKILL.md` format is
+  shared across tools, so the starter copy works unchanged
+
+```bash
+cp starters/pr-babysitter/pr-babysitter-state.md.example pr-babysitter-state.md
+
+mkdir -p ~/.hermes/skills/pr-review-triage
+cp starters/pr-babysitter/.claude/skills/pr-review-triage/SKILL.md ~/.hermes/skills/pr-review-triage/SKILL.md
+
+hermes skills list | grep pr-review-triage
+```
+
+## Example pr-babysitter-state.md
+
+```markdown
+# PR Babysitter State
+Last run: 2026-07-05 09:00 UTC
+
+## Open PRs
+
+### #1234 — fix: correct login redirect
+- CI: green
+- Reviews: 1 approval, 1 blocking comment
+- Loop action: report only (week one). Needs human triage.
+- Attempts: 1 / 3
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Never force-push; draft PRs by default; do not resolve review threads without
+  approval. Security, auth, payments, infra, or public API changes always
+  escalate — see [docs/safety.md](../../docs/safety.md)
+- Sign loop comments on PRs: `🤖 Loop Engineering — PR Babysitter`
+- Webhooks (`POST /hooks/agent`) can fire a check the moment CI finishes instead
+  of waiting for the next tick — keep hook endpoints on loopback or a trusted tailnet
+- `hermes config set approvals.mode smart` so low-risk reads don't stall the loop
+  on manual gateway approvals
+- Most runs should no-op on an empty watchlist. Cost check:
+  `npx @cobusgreyling/loop-cost --pattern pr-babysitter --cadence 15m --level L1 --conservative`;
+  audit readiness: `npx @cobusgreyling/loop-audit . --suggest`
+- See [patterns/pr-babysitter.md](../../patterns/pr-babysitter.md) and
+  [starters/pr-babysitter](../../starters/pr-babysitter/) for the full pattern spec
+
+See the [primitives matrix](../../docs/primitives-matrix.md) for how Hermes maps
+to the same six-part loop shape.
