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 | $0.00424 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00212 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00085 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00042 |
Grade A, and why
parallel-orchestration 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 8d 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
Parallel Orchestration
Coordinate multiple specialized agents across parallel work streams with quality gates and conflict resolution.
Agents
- Database Engineer -
database-engineer - API Developer -
api-developer - UI Developer -
ui-developer - Test Engineer -
test-engineer - Documentation Writer -
documentation-writer
Workflow
- Prepare execution plan with stream batches
- Dispatch specialized agents per stream (ctx.parallel.all)
- Execute tasks sequentially within each stream
- Quality gate after each task with convergence loop (max 3 iterations)
- Check for cross-stream conflicts
- Resolve conflicts if found
- Run integration verification
- Merge stream results
Inputs
tasks- Tasks from decomposition phasestreams- Work stream definitionsqualityThreshold- Minimum quality score (default: 80)maxParallel- Maximum parallel streams (default: 5)githubRepo- GitHub repo for progress sync (optional)
Outputs
- Per-stream execution results
- Integration verification report
- Conflict detection and resolution report
- Merge result
Agent Dispatch (5-12 parallel agents per issue)
Agents are dispatched based on stream type:
database->database-engineerapi->api-developerui->ui-developertesting->test-engineerdocs->documentation-writerinfrastructure->architect

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.

parallel-orchestration is a skill published in the GitHub repository a5c-ai/babysitter (1,777 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 424 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 2026-08-30.
