What it does

Babysit Babysitter Issues is an agent skill from a5c-ai/babysitter. This skill should be used when the user asks to "babysit issues", "work on assigned issues", "check a5c-agent issues", "process babysitter issues", or wants to find and work on open GitHub issues assigned to a5c-agent in the babysitter repo.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Babysitter enforces obedience on agentic workforces and enables them to manage extremely complex tasks and workflows through deterministic, hallucination-free self-orchestration. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to babysit issues
  • Work on assigned issues
  • Check a5c-agent issues
  • Process babysitter issues

Example prompts

  • “babysit issues”
  • “work on assigned issues”
  • “check a5c-agent issues”
  • “/babysit-babysitter-issues”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Fetch Assigned Issues
  2. Present Issues
  3. Orchestrate via Babysitter
  4. Summary

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:

    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, 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

Babysit Babysitter Issues loads about 590 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 289 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~590

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.

description
This skill should be used when the user asks to "babysit issues", "work on assigned issues", "check a5c-agent issues", "process babysitter issues", or wants to find and work on open GitHub issues assigned to a5c-agent in the babysitter repo.

Babysit Babysitter Issues

Fetch open GitHub issues from https://github.com/a5c-ai/babysitter/issues assigned to a5c-agent, then orchestrate work on each issue via /babysitter:call.

Workflow

Step 1: Fetch Assigned Issues

Use the gh CLI to list open issues assigned to a5c-agent:

bash
gh issue list --repo a5c-ai/babysitter --assignee a5c-agent --state open --json number,title,url,labels --limit 50

If no issues are found, report that there are no open issues assigned to a5c-agent and stop.

Step 2: Present Issues

Display the list of open issues to the user with their number, title, labels, and URL.

Step 3: Orchestrate via Babysitter

For each issue, invoke the babysitter:yolo skill with a prompt that includes the issue URL and context:

/babysitter:yolo work on this GitHub issue: <issue_url>

If multiple issues are selected, process them sequentially -- complete one before starting the next. Present a summary after each issue is processed. as part of the process, create a new branch from staging named issue-<number> and push commits to that branch. then create a pull request against staging with a meaningful name and a description of the work done (with link to the original issue). if the issue has a "bug" label, prioritize fixing the bug and include details about the bug and how it was fixed in the pull request description.

Step 4: Summary

After all open a5c-assigned issues have been processed, provide a summary of what was done for each issue.

Notes

  • Only issues assigned to a5c-agent are fetched. Other assignees are ignored.
  • The gh CLI must be authenticated. If authentication fails, prompt the user to run gh auth login.
  • Each issue is handed off to /babysitter:yolo which handles the actual implementation work.
  • the entire workflow should be without any user interaction or breakpoints in the run, allowing for a seamless babysitting experience. do not let the user select which issues to work on -- just process all open a5c-assigned issues sequentially.
