Your agent opened the PR. Now you're refreshing CI and arguing with bots. Kent shows the ship-pr skill that closes that loop - mark ready, fix CI, triage review, Discord handoff - so you spend attention on risk, not chores.

Better with Kent - durable skills for people who ship software.
"I read the code" kicked off a war. Kent's take: it's a spectrum based on risk. The afternoon killer is not reading - it's babysitting CI, Bugbot, and "please fix that" loops after the agent already implemented the feature.
This episode is the concrete payoff after loop-engineering: real Discord handoffs from Kody (including a medium-risk PR that stayed unmerged on purpose), the ship-pr skill file, merge mode for genuinely low-risk changes, and the 92-times lesson before formalizing a skill.
Homework: tighten your ship loop. On a simple change, let the agent merge and verify - if your team is good with that.
