Risk → merge authority

Self-assess; user policy overrides.

Kent's standing policy (2026-08-08): auto-ship (squash-merge + verify deploy) once AI reviewer feedback is addressed and CI is green, unless high risk. High risk still parks ready-for-review unless merge authority was granted explicitly.

• Low — green CI; nits ignorable; squash-merge when policy allows.
• Medium — wait for AI reviewer(s); address valid feedback (ignore insignificant nits / already-fixed / wrong); then merge when policy allows.
• High — leave ready-for-review unless the user granted merge authority.

AI reviewers

Prefer Cursor Bugbot (Cursor Bugbot check / cursor[bot] review comments). Never comment bugbot run or cursor review yourself — including via gh or GitHub request as kody-bot. Trigger with kody:@kentcdodds/bugbot using { prUrl } or { owner, repo, prNumber }. Do not pass a GitHub account.

import triggerBugbot from 'kody:@kentcdodds/bugbot'
await triggerBugbot({ prUrl })

CodeRabbit: if it is rate-limited, errored, or otherwise unavailable, do not wait on it for low/medium risk — proceed with Bugbot + CI. Only wait on CodeRabbit when the change is high risk (or the user explicitly asks).

Loop

1. Mark ready — kody:@kentcdodds/github/pr/set-review-status { prUrl, status: 'ready', account: 'kent' } (or owner/repo/prNumber).
2. Wait for CI — gh pr checks (or compose loop-on-ci / fix-ci).
3. Fix failures; for medium+, wait on AI reviewer(s) (Bugbot first; see above for CodeRabbit) and address valid feedback. Rebase only when actually unmergeable.
4. Green + (medium+: valid feedback cleared) → break.
5. Push → repeat.

There are no PR preview deploys here. Do not run a kody.codes-style preview:manual-test.

Gates ≠ CI

Blocked on soak / parity CHECK / calendar gate → end the run and schedule a wake (Kody job_schedule + createRun). Don't sleep-poll or code-thrash an intentional time window.

Batch related expand steps into fewer PRs when risk posture allows.

Merge / deploy

Merge GitHub mutations as Kent (account: 'kent' on @kentcdodds/github). kody-bot does not have admin here.

When policy + risk allow: squash-merge via kody:@kentcdodds/github/pr/merge { prUrl, mergeMethod: 'squash', account: 'kent' }. Useful: pr/get-checks, request, graphql on the same package.

After merge, watch the production Deploy workflow (it starts after Validate succeeds on main via workflow_run). Then GET https://kody.exchange/health until commit matches the merge SHA.

Done → Discord

Always summarize (merged or not) by calling kody:@kentcdodds/discord/send-shipped-pr with structured fields. Do not use raw post-message and do not compute or guess token cost — the export fetches the billed Cursor Cloud Agent usage and formats the cost line.

agentId (required):

• In a Cursor Cloud Agent VM, read it from the metadata socket: curl -fsS --unix-socket "${CURSOR_AGENT_SOCKET:-/run/cursor/api.sock}" http://cursor-agent/v1/meta-data/agent/id
• Otherwise pass the bc- id from the agent URL you were launched as (https://cursor.com/agents/{id}).

import sendShippedPr from 'kody:@kentcdodds/discord/send-shipped-pr'

export default async function main() {
	return sendShippedPr({
		agentId, // bc- id from the metadata socket or launch URL
		title: 'PR title',
		summary: 'What shipped / parked / blocked and why.',
		prUrl: 'https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/1',
		repo: 'owner/repo',
		extras: ['CI green', 'preview verified'],
		status: 'Shipped', // or 'Parked' | 'Blocked'
	})
