Codebase sync

Skill a5c-ai/babysitter/library/methodologies/pilot-shell/skills/codebase-sync

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

Convention discovery and rule generation from codebase analysis. Scans project structure, builds search indexes, identifies patterns, and generates enforceable rules.

SKILL.md

2.2 KB, as published. Nobody here has run it

Scan directory structure for project type identification
Detect language, framework, package manager
Identify build tools, CI/CD config, test framework
Map high-level architecture (monorepo, microservices, etc.)

2. Semantic Index Building

Four parallel index domains:

Code Index: Source files with exports, purposes, dependencies
Test Index: Test files with cases, fixtures, patterns
Config Index: Configuration files with parsed rules
API Index: Public interfaces, types, data models

3. Convention Discovery

Code style patterns (naming, structure, organization)
Error handling conventions
Testing conventions (naming, structure, assertions)
Git commit message conventions
Documentation standards
Language-conditional standards

4. Rule Generation

Convert conventions into enforceable rules:

{
  "id": "ts-no-any",
  "category": "coding-standards",
  "description": "Avoid 'any' type; use 'unknown' and narrow",
  "severity": "error",
  "autoFixable": false,
  "language": "typescript"
}

Rule Categories

Category	Examples
core	task-and-workflow, testing, verification
dev-practices	development-practices, context-management
tools	research-tools, cli-tools
coding-standards	Language-specific rules (conditional)
