Grok Bot × PR operations: align revisions, CI and handoff states

Review a PR ledger against the current commit, checks, conflicts and comments before proposing follow-up.

The source describes domain owners, a shared PR table, periodic checks and incident follow-up. This guide prepares evidence without automatically editing or merging.

Verification status

Source reading and media coverage are listed below. This site has not executed the live workflow. Fixtures, fields and prompts here are independent exercises, not the author’s results.

EXECUTION & TAKEOVER

Execution and takeover boundaries

The actions below require the agreed inputs, accounts and scope. Configuring a Routine does not expand that authorization.

Can run automatically

Read agreed PRs, current SHAs, checks and reviews to prepare traceable blockers, owners and follow-up actions.

Requires confirmation

Confirm code changes, ledger writes, notifications, inspection frequency, CI reruns, merges and production actions separately.

Take over after a failure

Remain waiting when only old-SHA checks pass or current checks are missing. Have the user inspect the current version, revalidate new commits and stop unbounded polling.

Scenario and input

Synthetic PR: current head is new-b; checks for old-a passed, while the new revision has no result.

1. Set the ownership scope

Identify repositories, PRs and domain owners within authorized access, with one current follow-up owner.

2. Bind evidence to the current commit

Read the head SHA before checks and comments, keeping earlier passing results historical.

3. Classify blockers

Separate failed checks, conflicts, unanswered comments and missing information with links and next actions.

4. Review fixes and retesting

Propose repair scope and evidence, then recheck the new revision after any authorized fix.

5. Control monitoring and merging

Set normal and incident cadences with explicit owners and stop conditions, keeping merging and production actions under a separate policy.

A synthetic acceptance fixture

pr-ledger.csv: pr_url, head_sha, check_sha, check_state, conflict, open_comment, owner, next_action. The fixture waits for current checks rather than being merge-ready.

Input: Synthetic PR: current head is new-b; checks for old-a passed, while the new revision has no result.
Requirements:
1. Identify repositories, PRs and domain owners within authorized access, with one current follow-up owner.
2. Read the head SHA before checks and comments, keeping earlier passing results historical.
3. Separate failed checks, conflicts, unanswered comments and missing information with links and next actions.
4. Propose repair scope and evidence, then recheck the new revision after any authorized fix.
5. Set normal and incident cadences with explicit owners and stop conditions, keeping merging and production actions under a separate policy.
Return itemized records, evidence locations, unknowns and next steps, marking unperformed actions explicitly.
Do not install tools, change access, purchase, publish, create Bots or schedule work in this pass.

Acceptance and review

Acceptance uses matching revision evidence, each blocker has an owner, and merging or intensified monitoring does not happen implicitly.

Acceptance: Acceptance uses matching revision evidence, each blocker has an owner, and merging or intensified monitoring does not happen implicitly.
Separate pass, fail, untested and evidence; distinguish synthetic fixtures from live results.
Stop on missing sources, permissions or uncertain outcomes and list the required evidence.
Propose one next step with a recovery plan and wait for confirmation.
