> Orchestrate complex, multi-step workflows with human-in-the-loop approval, iterative refinement, and quality convergence.

Babysitter enables Claude Code to manage sophisticated development workflows through deterministic, resumable orchestration. Just ask Claude to use the babysitter skill, and it will handle the rest.

What is Babysitter?

Babysitter is an orchestration framework for Claude Code that enables deterministic, event-sourced workflow management. It allows you to build complex, multi-step development processes with built-in quality gates, human approval checkpoints, and automatic iteration until quality targets are met.

Babysitter works seamlessly with your prexisting subagents, skills and tools. It can be used to orchestrate them into complex workflows.

What is a5c.ai?

a5c.ai is an organization focused on building advanced AI orchestration and automation tools. The name stands for "agentic ai". It's a collection of tools that enable AI systems like Claude and others to work more effectively on complex, real-world software development tasks (but not limited to). The Babysitter project is part of this ecosystem, providing structured workflow orchestration for agentic ai.

Prerequisites

Before installing Babysitter, ensure you have:

  • Node.js: Version 20.0.0 or higher (recommend 22.x LTS) - ideally using nvm to manage node versions
  • Claude Code: Latest version installed and configured - see [Claude Code documentation](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/quickstart)
  • Git: For cloning the repository (optional, for manual installation)

Installation

1. Install the SDK

```bash

npm install -g @a5c-ai/babysitter@latest @a5c-ai/babysitter-sdk@latest @a5c-ai/babysitter-breakpoints@latest

```

2. Install the Plugin

Via Claude Code (Recommended):

```bash

# Add the plugin repository

claude plugin marketplace add a5c-ai/babysitter

# Install the plugin

claude plugin install --scope user babysitter@a5c.ai

# Enable per user

claude plugin enable --scope user babysitter@a5c.ai

```

Then restart Claude Code.
