Orchestrate via @babysitter. Use this skill when asked to babysit a run, orchestrate a process or whenever it is called explicitly. (babysit, babysitter, orchestrate, orchestrate a run, workflow, etc.).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# babysit
Orchestrate `.a5c/runs/<runId>/` through iterative execution.
Subagents that need a scratch checkout or working directory must create it under
`/tmp/<descriptive-name>/`, not under `.a5c/runs/<runId>/work`. Before returning
deliverables, validate that no run-dir worktree was left behind, for example:
```bash
find .a5c/runs -maxdepth 3 -name work -type d -print
```
That command should print nothing. If it prints a non-empty work directory, move
or remove only the scratch data you created before returning.
## Dependencies
### Babysitter SDK and CLI
Read the SDK version from `versions.json` to ensure version compatibility:
```bash
SDK_VERSION=$(node -e "try{console.log(JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('${CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT}/versions.json','utf8')).sdkVersion||'latest')}catch{console.log('latest')}")
```
Use an installed `babysitter` command only after proving it can execute:
```bash
if command -v babysitter >/dev/null 2>&1 && babysitter --version >/dev/null 2>&1; then
CLI="babysitter"
else
CLI="npm exec --yes --package @a5c-ai/babysitter-sdk@$SDK_VERSION -- babysitter"
fi
```

How to install
mdr add a5c-ai/babysitter/babysit@sha256:c10fe07088a2d673The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260528.95a7c5d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
