Install the babysit skill

A skill is a folder. Copy it into your agent's skills folder and the agent loads it when the task matches its description. 

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/a5c-ai/babysitter.git /tmp/babysitter
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/babysitter/.codex/skills/babysit ~/.claude/skills/babysit
available in every project

In the Claude apps, zip the folder and upload it from the Skills settings. The folder on GitHub

babysit

Orchestrate .a5c/runs// through iterative execution.

Subagents that need a scratch checkout or working directory must create it under /tmp//, not under .a5c/runs//work. Before returning deliverables, validate that no run-dir worktree was left behind, for example:

find .a5c/runs -maxdepth 3 -name work -type d -print

That command should print nothing. If it prints a non-empty work directory, move or remove only the scratch data you created before returning.

Dependencies

Babysitter SDK and CLI

Read the SDK version from versions.json to ensure version compatibility:

SDK_VERSION=$(node -e "try{console.log(JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('${CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT}/versions.json','utf8')).sdkVersion||'latest')}catch{console.log('latest')}")

Use an installed babysitter command only after proving it can execute:

if command -v babysitter >/dev/null 2>&1 && babysitter --version >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  CLI="babysitter"
else
  CLI="npm exec --yes --package @a5c-ai/babysitter-sdk@$SDK_VERSION -- babysitter"
fi

If a stale or broken global shim fails with MODULENOTFOUND, repair it with npm rm -g @a5c-ai/babysitter @a5c-ai/babysitter-sdk && npm i -g @a5c-ai/babysitter-sdk@$SDK_VERSION, then re-run babysitter --version.

jq

Make sure jq is installed and available in the path. If not, install it.

Instructions

Run the following command to get full orchestration instructions:

$CLI instructions:babysit-skill --harness codex --interactive

For non-interactive runs (e.g., with -p flag or no question tool):

$CLI instructions:babysit-skill --harness codex --no-interactive

Follow the instructions returned by the command above to orchestrate the run.
