About this skill
“Orchestrate via @babysitter. Use this skill when asked to babysit a run, orchestrate a process or whenever it is called explicitly. (babysit, babysitter, orchestrate, orchestrate a run, workflow, etc.)”
Babysitter Run Orchestrator is a skill in a5c-ai/babysitter (1.8k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 514 tokens, and copies of it appear in 1 other owners' repositories. Licence: MIT.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit feb68ab. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npmnode
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Babysitter Run Orchestrator loads about 514 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 159 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- babysit
- description
- Orchestrate via @babysitter. Use this skill when asked to babysit a run, orchestrate a process or whenever it is called explicitly. (babysit, babysitter, orchestrate, orchestrate a run, workflow, etc.)
babysit
Orchestrate .a5c/runs/<runId>/ through iterative execution.
Subagents that need a scratch checkout or working directory must create it under
/tmp/<descriptive-name>/, not under .a5c/runs/<runId>/work. Before returning
deliverables, validate that no run-dir worktree was left behind, for example:
find .a5c/runs -maxdepth 3 -name work -type d -printThat 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@$SDK_VERSION -- babysitter"
fiIf a stale or broken global shim fails with MODULE_NOT_FOUND, repair it with npm rm -g @a5c-ai/babysitter @a5c-ai/babysitter-sdk && npm i -g @a5c-ai/babysitter-sdk@$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 --interactiveFor non-interactive runs (e.g., with -p flag or no question tool):
$CLI instructions:babysit-skill --harness codex --no-interactiveFollow the instructions returned by the command above to orchestrate the run.
