+
+
+PRIMARY COMMANDS
+================
+
+/babysitter:call [input]
+  Start a babysitter-orchestrated run. Babysitter analyzes your request, interviews you
+  to gather requirements, selects or creates the best process definition (from 50+
+  domain-specific processes covering science, business, engineering, and more), then
+  executes it step by step with breakpoints where you can steer direction.
+
+  How it works: The babysitter skill reads your input, explores the process library to
+  find matching processes, interviews you to refine scope, creates an SDK run with
+  run:create, and orchestrates iterations with run:iterate -- dispatching tasks,
+  handling breakpoints, and posting results until the run completes or you pause it.
+
+  Example: /babysitter:call migrate our Express.js REST API to Fastify, keeping all
+  existing routes and middleware behavior identical, with integration tests proving
+  parity
+
+
+/babysitter:resume [run id or name]
+  Resume a paused or interrupted babysitter run. If you don't specify a run, babysitter
+  discovers all runs under .a5c/runs/, shows their status (created, waiting, completed,
+  failed), and suggests which incomplete run to pick up based on its process, pending
+  effects, and last activity.
+
+  How it works: Reads run metadata and journal, rebuilds state cache if stale, identifies
+  pending effects (breakpoints awaiting approval, tasks needing results), and continues
+  orchestration from exactly where it left off -- no work is repeated thanks to the
+  replay engine.
+
+  Example: /babysitter:resume
+  (discovers runs and offers: "Run abc123 is waiting on a breakpoint in the 'review
+  test results' phase of your API migration -- resume this one?")
+
+
+/babysitter:yolo [input]
+  Start a babysitter run in fully autonomous mode. Identical to /call but all breakpoints
+  are auto-approved and no user interaction is requested. The babysitter makes every
+  decision on its own until the run completes or hits a critical failure it can't recover
+  from. Best for well-understood tasks where you trust the process.
+
+  How it works: Same orchestration as /call, but the process context is configured to
+  skip breakpoint effects -- instead of pausing for human approval, each breakpoint
+  resolves immediately with an auto-approve result.
+
+  Example: /babysitter:yolo add comprehensive unit tests for all functions in
+  src/utils/ using vitest with >90% branch coverage
+
+
+/babysitter:plan [input]
+  Generate a detailed execution plan without running anything. Babysitter goes through
+  the full interview and process selection flow, designs the process definition with
+  all tasks, breakpoints, and dependencies, but stops before creating the actual SDK run.
+  You get a complete plan you can review, modify, or execute later with /call.
+
+  How it works: Runs the babysitter skill's planning phase only -- analyzes input,
+  matches to domain processes, interviews for requirements, then outputs the process
+  definition file and a human-readable execution plan showing each phase, task, and
+  decision point.
+
+  Example: /babysitter:plan redesign our database schema to support multi-tenancy,
+  migrate existing data, and update all queries -- I want to review the plan before
+  we touch anything
+
+
+/babysitter:forever [input]
+  Start a babysitter run that loops indefinitely with sleep intervals. Designed for
+  ongoing operational tasks: monitoring, periodic maintenance, continuous improvement,
+  or recurring workflows. The process uses an infinite loop with ctx.sleepUntil() to
+  pause between iterations.
+
+  How it works: Creates a process definition with a while(true) loop. Each cycle performs
+  the task (e.g., check metrics, process tickets, run audits), then calls ctx.sleepUntil()
+  to pause for a configured interval. The run stays in "waiting" state during sleep and
+  resumes automatically when the sleep expires on the next orchestration iteration.
+
+  Example: /babysitter:forever every 4 hours, check our GitHub issues labeled "bug",
+  attempt to reproduce and fix any that look straightforward, and submit PRs for the fixes
+
+
+SECONDARY COMMANDS
+==================
+
+/babysitter:doctor [issue]
+  Run a comprehensive 10-point health check on a babysitter run. Inspects journal
+  integrity (checksum verification, sequence gaps, timestamp ordering), state cache
+  consistency, stuck/errored effects, stale locks, session state, log files, disk usage,
+  process validation, and hook execution health. Produces a structured diagnostic report
+  with PASS/WARN/FAIL status per check and specific fix commands.
+
+  If no run ID is provided, automatically targets the most recent run. Can also diagnose
+  environment-wide issues like missing CLI, unregistered hooks, or plugin problems.
+
+  Example: /babysitter:doctor
+  (checks the latest run: "CRITICAL -- Check 5 Lock Status: FAIL -- stale lock detected,
+  process 12847 is no longer running. Fix: rm .a5c/runs/abc123/run.lock")
+
+
+/babysitter:assimilate [target]
+  Convert an external methodology, AI coding harness, or specification into native
+  babysitter process definitions. Takes a GitHub repo URL, harness name, or spec file
+  and produces a complete process package with skills/ and agents/ directories.
+
+  Two workflows available:
+  - Methodology assimilation: clones the repo, learns its procedures and commands,
+    converts manual flows into babysitter processes with refactored skills and agents
+  - Harness integration: wires babysitter's SDK into a specific AI coding tool
+    (codex, opencode, gemini-cli, antigravity, etc.) so it can orchestrate runs
+
+  Example: /babysitter:assimilate https://github.com/some-org/their-deployment-playbook
+  (clones the repo, analyzes their deployment procedures, and generates babysitter
+  processes that replicate the same workflow with proper task definitions and breakpoints)
+
+
+/babysitter:user-install
+  First-time onboarding for new babysitter users. Installs dependencies, runs an
+  interactive interview about your development specialties, preferred tools, coding
+  style, and how much autonomy you want babysitter to have. Builds a user profile
+  stored at ~/.a5c/user-profile.json that personalizes future runs.
+
+  Uses the cradle/user-install process which covers: dependency verification, user
+  interview (expertise areas, preferred languages, IDE, terminal setup), profile
+  generation, tool configuration, and optional global plugin installation.
+
+  Example: /babysitter:user-install
+  (walks you through: "What's your primary programming language? What frameworks do
+  you use most? Do you prefer babysitter to auto-approve routine tasks or always ask?")
+
+
+/babysitter:project-install
+  Onboard a new or existing project for babysitter orchestration. Researches the
+  codebase (reads package.json, scans directory structure, identifies frameworks and
+  patterns), interviews you about project goals and workflows, generates a project
+  profile at .a5c/project-profile.json, and optionally sets up CI/CD integration.
+
+  Uses the cradle/project-install process which covers: codebase analysis, project
+  interview, profile creation, recommended plugin installation, hook configuration,
+  and optional CI pipeline setup.
+
+  Example: /babysitter:project-install
+  (scans your repo: "I see this is a Next.js 16 app with Tailwind, using vitest for
+  tests and PostgreSQL. What are your main development goals for this project?")
+
+
+/babysitter:retrospect [run id or name]
+  Analyze a completed run to extract lessons and improve future runs. Reviews what
+  happened (journal events, task results, timing, errors), evaluates the process that
+  was followed, and suggests concrete improvements to process definitions, skills,
+  and agents. Interactive -- multiple breakpoints let you steer the analysis and
+  decide which improvements to implement.
+
+  Covers: run result analysis, process effectiveness review, improvement suggestions,
+  implementation of changes, and routing to /contrib if improvements belong in the
+  shared process library.
+
+  Example: /babysitter:retrospect
+  (analyzes the last run: "The API migration run completed but the 'verify parity'
+  phase took 8 iterations because test assertions were too brittle. Suggestion: add
+  a fuzzy comparison step before strict assertion. Implement this fix?")
+
+
+/babysitter:plugins [action]
+  Manage babysitter plugins: list installed plugins, browse marketplaces, install,
+  update, configure, uninstall, or create new plugins. Plugins are version-managed
+  instruction packages (not executable code) that guide the agent through install,
+  configure, and uninstall steps via markdown files.
+
+  Without arguments: shows installed plugins (name, version, marketplace, dates) and
+  available marketplaces. With arguments: routes to the specific action.
+
+  Key actions:
+  - install <name> --global|--project: fetch install.md from marketplace and execute
+  - configure <name> --global|--project: fetch configure.md and walk through options
+  - update <name> --global|--project: resolve migration chain via BFS and apply steps
+  - uninstall <name> --global|--project: fetch uninstall.md and execute removal
+  - create: scaffold a new plugin package with the meta/plugin-creation process
+
+  Example: /babysitter:plugins install sound-hooks --project
+  (fetches sound-hooks from marketplace, reads install.md, walks you through player
+  detection, sound selection, hook configuration, and registers in plugin-registry.json)
+
+
+/babysitter:contrib [feedback]
+  Submit feedback or contribute to the babysitter project. Routes to the appropriate
+  workflow based on what you want to do:
+
+  Issue-based (opens GitHub issue in a5c-ai/babysitter):
+  - Bug report: describe a bug in the SDK, CLI, or process library
+  - Feature request: propose a new feature or enhancement
+  - Documentation question: flag undocumented behavior or missing docs
+
+  PR-based (forks repo, creates branch, submits PR):
+  - Bugfix: you already have a fix ready
+  - Feature implementation: you've built a new feature
+  - Library contribution: new or improved process/skill/agent for the library
+  - Harness integration: CI/CD or IDE integration
+
+  Without arguments: shows all contribution types and helps you pick the right one.
+  Breakpoints are placed before all GitHub actions (fork, star, PR, issue) so you
+  can review before anything is submitted.
+
+  Example: /babysitter:contrib bug report: plugin:update-registry fails when the
+  marketplace hasn't been cloned yet, even though the registry update doesn't need
+  marketplace access
+
+
+/babysitter:observe
+  Launch the babysitter observer dashboard -- a real-time web UI that monitors active
+  and past runs. Displays task progress, journal events, orchestration state, and
+  effect status in your browser. Useful when running /yolo or /forever to watch
+  progress without interrupting the run.
+
+  How it works: Runs npx @yoavmayer/babysitter-observer-dashboard@latest which watches
+  the .a5c/runs/ directory (or a parent directory containing multiple projects) and
+  serves a live dashboard. The process is blocking -- it runs until you stop it.
+
+  Example: /babysitter:observe
+  (opens browser showing all runs with live-updating task
+  status, journal event stream, and effect resolution timeline)

+
+Invoke the babysitter:babysit skill (using the Skill tool) and follow its instructions (SKILL.md).
+
+create and run a retrospect process:
+
+### Run Selection
+
+- `--all` or "all runs": list all completed/failed runs and analyze collectively
+- Multiple run IDs: analyze each specified run
+- Single run ID or no ID: existing behavior (latest run)
+- In interactive mode with no run specified: ask user whether to analyze latest, select specific runs, or all runs
+
+### Cross-Run Analysis (multi-run mode)
+
+When analyzing multiple runs, the retrospect process should additionally cover:
+- Common failure patterns across runs
+- Velocity trends (tasks/time across runs)
+- Process evolution (how processes changed)
+- Repeated breakpoint patterns
+- Aggregate quality metrics
+
+implementations notes (for the process):
+- The process should analyze the run, the process that was followed, and provide suggestions for improvements, optimizations, and fixes.
+- The process should such have many breakpoints where the user can steer the process, provide feedback, and make decisions about how to proceed with the retrospect.
+- The process should be designed to be flexible and adaptable to different types of runs, projects, and goals, and should be able to provide insights and suggestions that are relevant and actionable for the user. (modification to the process, skills, etc.)
+- The process should be designed to be iterative, allowing the user to go through multiple rounds of analysis and improvement, and should be able to track the changes and improvements made over time.
+- The process should cover:
+    - Analysis of the run and its results, including what went well, what didn't go well, and what could be improved.
+    - Analysis of the process that was followed, including what steps were taken, what tools were used, and how effective they were.
+    - Suggestions for improvements, optimizations, and fixes for both the run and the process.
+    - Implementing the improvements, optimizations, and fixes, and tracking the changes made over time.
+### Cleanup Suggestion
+
+After retrospect analysis, suggest running `/babysitter:cleanup` to clean up old run data and reclaim disk space.
+
+    - Ending by explicitly prompting the user to contribute back -- even just reporting an issue is valuable, they don't need to implement the fix themselves. After analysis, display a clear call-to-action:
+
+      "You've identified [specific insight/improvement]. This could help other babysitter users too. Run `/babysitter:contrib` to share it upstream -- you can either report it as an issue or submit a PR with the fix."
+
+      Route to the specific contrib workflow based on what the user wants to do:
+
+      **Just reporting (no code changes needed):**
+      - Found a bug or weakness in a process -> `/babysitter:contrib bug report: [description of what went wrong]`
+      - Found missing or confusing documentation -> `/babysitter:contrib documentation question: [what was unclear]`
+      - Have an idea for improvement but don't want to implement it -> `/babysitter:contrib feature request: [description]`
+
+      **Contributing code changes:**
+      - Process/skill/agent improvements -> `/babysitter:contrib library contribution: [description]`
+      - Bug fixes in SDK or CLI -> `/babysitter:contrib bugfix: [description]`
+      - Plugin instruction improvements -> `/babysitter:contrib library contribution: improved [plugin-name] [install|configure|uninstall] instructions`
