babysitter:assimilate
Convert external sources into well-defined babysitter process definitions with accompanying skills/ and agents/ directories.
Assimilation Workflows
Determine which workflow to use based on the target:
Methodology Assimilation (repo URL or methodology name)
Learns an external methodology from its repo and converts procedural instructions, commands, and manual flows into babysitter processes with refactored skills and agents.
- Clone or fetch the target repo
- Analyze the methodology's structure, commands, and workflows
- Map manual steps to babysitter task definitions
- Generate process .js files, SKILL.md files, and AGENT.md files
- Store output in
.a5c/processes/
Harness Integration (harness name)
Integrates babysitter SDK with a specific AI coding harness. Available targets:
codex — OpenAI Codex CLI
opencode — OpenCode (Bun-based)
gemini-cli — Google Gemini CLI
openclaw — OpenClaw daemon
antigravity — Google Antigravity
generic — Generic AI harness
Specification Assimilation (spec path)
Adapts the methodology-assimilation workflow for specification documents (RFC, API spec, design doc).
Output
For each assimilation, generate:
.a5c/processes/
├── <name>.js # Process definition
├── <name>-inputs.json # Default inputs
├── skills/ # Extracted skills
│ └── <skill>/SKILL.md
└── agents/ # Extracted agents
└── <agent>/AGENT.md
