… forbid file lists in PRs When monitoring CI, include the specific PR number in process greps to avoid matching monitors for other PRs. Additionally, when a CI failure is confirmed as a transient infrastructure flake, autonomously spawn a subagent to invoke the buildkite-retry-job skill using a prompt template rather than executing scripts directly. Finally, forbid manual lists of modified files in PR descriptions.

agents(monitor-ci-results): autonomous flake retries via subagent and forbid file lists in PRs
Scopes process checks (
pgrep -f "monitor_remote_ci.py <pr_number>") specifically tothe target PR number to prevent cross-PR monitoring conflicts when multiple agent
conversations run concurrently. Automates recovery from transient infrastructure
or network flakes without requiring manual human intervention.
Updates
monitor-ci-resultsworkflow steps to require PR-scoped process lookupsand introduces an autonomous retry step that spawns a dedicated retrier subagent
via a prompt template (
retry-job-prompt.md) to execute thebuildkite-retry-jobskill.
