Babysitter enforces obedience on agentic workforces and enables them to manage extremely complex tasks and workflows through deterministic, hallucination-free self-orchestration

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Red-Green-Refactor TDD methodology with mandatory failing tests, minimal implementation, quality refactoring, and 80% coverage gating.

SKILL.md

1.7 KB, as published. Nobody here has run it

Write tests that define expected behavior
Tests MUST fail (exit code 1)
Use CI=true or --run flag, never watch mode
Apply timeout guards (60s) to prevent hanging
Record exit code as evidence

2. GREEN Phase - Minimal Implementation

Write the minimal code to make tests pass
Do NOT add features not covered by tests
Do NOT optimize prematurely
Tests MUST pass (exit code 0)
Record exit code as evidence

3. REFACTOR Phase - Quality Improvement

Apply SOLID principles and clean code patterns
Improve naming, reduce coupling
Remove duplication
Run tests after EACH refactoring step
Tests MUST remain passing (exit code 0)

4. Coverage Gate

Measure coverage: statements, branches, functions, lines
Minimum 80% overall coverage required
Iterate: write additional tests for gaps until threshold met
Maximum 3 convergence iterations

Rules

Never skip the RED phase
Never accept GREEN without exit code 0
Never use watch mode in CI
Always record evidence (exit codes, coverage numbers)
Enforce 80% coverage threshold

When to Use

All code implementation tasks
Feature development
Bug fixes (write regression test first)

Agents Used

tdd-guide (primary consumer)
code-reviewer (validates test quality)
