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 | $0.00024 | $0.00298 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00149 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00060 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00030 |
Grade A, and why
hotfix-triage 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 9d 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
Hotfix Triage
Capabilities
Rapidly classifies production issues by severity, locates root causes from logs and stack traces, and routes to the appropriate fix path. Simple fixes skip planning entirely for maximum speed.
Tool Use Instructions
- Use Read to examine log files and error reports
- Use Grep to search for error patterns and stack trace references in code
- Use Glob to find affected source files
- Use Bash to reproduce issues and check system state
- Use Write to generate triage reports
Process Integration
- Used in
maestro-hotfix.js(Triage and Root Cause) - Agent: Hotfix Specialist
- Severity levels: critical (immediate), high (same-day), medium (next-sprint)
- Simple fixes skip planning phase
- High-risk fixes require human approval breakpoint
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.

hotfix-triage is a skill published in the GitHub repository a5c-ai/babysitter (1,788 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 298 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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.
