Babysitter is a workflow engine for AI coding agents that enforces predefined steps, quality checks, human approvals, and decision records. It is used to coordinate complex, repeatable agent workflows across supported coding tools. The catalogue contains skills, agents, instructions, settings, a plugin, and an MCP integration for its workflow.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.00300 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00150 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00060 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00030 |
Grade A, and why
error-logging scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Error Logging
Log all errors with full context, detect patterns, and suggest approach mutations to avoid repeated failures.
Agent
Error Analyst - pwf-error-analyst
Workflow
- Log ALL errors immediately to progress.md (Rule 3)
- Include error context, stack traces, and reproduction steps
- Tag errors with severity: critical, warning, informational
- Analyze error patterns across phases and iterations
- Suggest approach mutations for known failure patterns (Rule 4)
- Track error resolution status for verification
Inputs
projectPath- Root path for planning filesphaseName- Phase where error occurrederrors- Array of error objectserrorHistory- Previous errors for pattern detection
Outputs
- Updated progress.md error section
- Approach mutations with alternative strategies
- Error resolution report for verification

What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

error-logging is a skill published in the GitHub repository a5c-ai/babysitter (1,778 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 300 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
Other skills, from other repositories
integration-rule-engine
A declarative routing engine that turns ticket / error attributes (reporter, label, project, area path, error class, environment) into a tag + AI agent + priority assignment, so cross-source workflows ("security tickets always go to the OWASP reviewer") stay out of code and in user-editable rules.
rn-debugging
This skill should be used when the user asks to "debug the app", "fix a crash", "diagnose a blank screen", "read error logs", "troubleshoot CDP connection", "check Metro status", "find native crashes", "inspect network failures", "the app crashed", "I see a blank screen", "the screen is white", "something broke", "app…
kano-backlog
Prioritize and refine a GitHub Issues backlog with the Kano model — categorize every open issue as Must-be, Performance, Attractive, Indifferent, or Reverse, apply Kano + priority labels back to GitHub automatically, and recommend the single best next issue to pick up. Use this whenever the user wants to triage…
goga-change-investigator
Evidence-driven root cause investigation.
team-structure
Breaks a reviewed design into verified slices. Trigger on "slice this up", "break the design into steps", or "/team-structure".
tracking-tickets
Defines tracker status transitions and closing rules. Load when a pipeline run is linked to a ticket.
