babysitter

Orchestrate complex, multi-step workflows with event-sourced state management, hook-based extensibility, and human-in-the-loop approval

Prerequisites

Install the Babysitter CLI once. The babysitter command is backed by the SDK and exposes the canonical harness/plugin installer used in tests:

npm install -g @a5c-ai/babysitter

Installation — Hermes

npm install -g @a5c-ai/babysitter-hermes
babysitter-hermes install --global

Restart Hermes to pick up the installed plugin.

For scriptable installs, prefer the SDK helper shape:

babysitter harness:install-plugin <harness>
babysitter harness:install-plugin <harness> --workspace /path/to/repo

What's Included

• Skills: babysit

• Hooks: PostToolUse

Integration Model

• Lifecycle hooks for session state, orchestration loops, and token compression
• Command wrappers for plan, resume, doctor, and other operations

The process library is fetched and bound through the SDK CLI.
