Auto-triage pull requests before merging them

A bot screened PRs on a schedule, routed broken ones back for fixes, and auto-merged only low-risk changes.

Done with Grok Botยท Intermediate

What they did
A developer used Grok Bot to watch a shared Notion list of pull requests. Every 30 minutes, the bot checked for Bugbot or security comments, CI failures, and merge conflicts. If it found a problem, it sent the PR back to a cloud agent and moved the item to Working. Clean PRs were flagged Ready for Review, then run through review before the safest ones were merged automatically.
How it went
The developer said they now see work ready to merge almost every morning. The same setup lets the team handle more than 200 cloud agents at once, compared with about 15 when people did the triage manually. The source did not give a merge-rate number.
Tips
This works best when you reserve auto-merge for changes with high confidence and low blast radius. Keep fast, aggressive checking modes for truly urgent cases, since they can use tokens quickly.

Try it yourself with Grok Bot

You are helping manage pull requests in [repo]. Every [30 minutes], scan open PRs in my tracking list for [CI failures], [merge conflicts], [Bugbot comments], and [security comments]. If a PR is broken or risky, send it to [cloud agent name] to fix and move it to [Working]. If it looks clean, mark it [Ready for Review] and run a review pass. Pause and ask for my approval before any merge, delete, or other irreversible action. Only auto-merge when the PR is clearly low-risk, highly confident, and limited to [safe change types]. For anything else, give me a short summary and wait for my decision.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
