babysit

babysit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kirodotdev/KiroCrew. It costs 137 tokens per session (9,970 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A same-session monitoring loop that checks pull requests, automated build checks, tickets, or deployments at set intervals. A pull request is a proposed code change awaiting review or merging.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps watch CI runs, code reviews, tickets, and deployments, while sending periodic updates or stopping the loop when requested.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to remember to check the same work repeatedly. The monitoring continues in the current chat session and can survive a service restart.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

babysit 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/pr_watch.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Babysit (same-session monitoring loop)

Overview

monitor_start(message, interval_secs?, max_cycles?) binds a monitoring loop to your current session. Every interval_secs the message is re-injected as your next turn. User messages defer a due fire until their turn ends but do NOT restart the countdown, so the loop stays on schedule even in a session the user is actively chatting in. You keep the full conversation context, memory, and tools on every cycle. Loops persist to ~/.kiro/crew/autonudge.json and survive gateway restarts (the countdown resumes where it left off).

Works from:

Surface Binding Cadence
Dashboard chat bare slot key deadline timer (user turns defer, never reset)
Slack thread slack:<thread_ts> fixed interval after each unattended turn
Discord DM discord:{agent}:direct:{user} fixed interval after each unattended turn

autonudge_stop(reason?) stops the loop bound to the current session from any of those surfaces. monitor_update(message?, interval_secs?, max_cycles?) revises the loop already bound to this session in place, keeping its cycle count — use it when the instruction you armed has gone stale, or to raise the cap on a loop that is still doing useful work.

interval_secs counts between the loop's own cycles

Each delivered cycle's countdown starts when that cycle's turn ends, so the real cadence is interval_secs + however long each cycle's work takes. A 300s interval with 5-minute checks wakes you roughly every 10 minutes. Size it for the gap you want between cycles. User messages in the session never stretch this: a due fire waits for the user's turn to end, then delivers.

You must stop the loop yourself

max_cycles (default 24) is a runaway backstop, not a finish line. A loop that coasts into its cap did not complete — it ran out of rope, and whatever it was watching is still unresolved. Evaluate the exit condition every single cycle and stop deliberately.

Changes

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.
