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.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00323 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00129 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00065 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
test-automation 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 1mo 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
Test Automation
Execute Vitest and Playwright test suites with result collection and failure analysis.
Agent
Test Runner - automaker-test-runner
Workflow
- Navigate to worktree path
- Run Vitest unit tests (npx vitest run --reporter=json)
- Run Playwright E2E tests (npx playwright test --reporter=json)
- Collect pass/fail counts per suite
- Extract failure messages and stack traces
- Measure code coverage
- Identify flaky tests
- Analyze failure root causes for convergence
Inputs

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.

test-automation is a skill published in the GitHub repository a5c-ai/babysitter (1,868 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 323 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.

Explicit Codex workflow: Execute a learned Maestro flow ("action") by name with optional -e KEY=VALUE parameters. Looks the flow up via packages/rn-dev-agent-core/dist/learned-actions.js (same inventory as $rn-dev-agent:list-learned-actions), then replays it via cdprunaction — auto-repair-aware orchestration with…
build-and-test
Explicit Codex workflow: Build the Expo/React Native app (local or EAS), install it, start Metro, then test a requested feature end-to-end.
