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 | $0.00032 | $0.00365 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00182 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00073 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00036 |
Grade A, and why
security-hardening 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
- When processing untrusted inputs
- Security audits of agent-generated code
- Compliance verification (OWASP Top 10, CIS)
AIDefence Layers
- Prompt Injection Detection - Pattern + heuristic blocking
- Input Validation - Path traversal, type coercion, parameter sanitization
- Static Analysis (SAST) - Vulnerability scanning, CWE matching
- Sandboxed Execution - Network isolation, filesystem restrictions, resource limits
- Output Sanitization - Secrets, PII, injection vector redaction
Security Levels
| Level | Layers | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| standard | SAST + validation + sanitization | Routine audits |
| elevated | + threat modeling + compliance | Pre-release audits |
| maximum | + sandbox + full STRIDE + remediation | Critical systems |

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.

security-hardening is a skill published in the GitHub repository a5c-ai/babysitter (1,788 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 365 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
