Babysitter is an MIT-licensed orchestration tool whose central claim is enforcement over agent behavior: processes written in JavaScript are the sole authority, every step ends in a mandatory stop, gates block progression, breakpoints require human approval, and all decisions are journaled and replayable. v6 adds an Adapters runtime so the same processes run across the 12 harnesses in its install matrix. The README documents multiple npm packages, marketplace plugin installs, and a built-in internal harness. It suits teams that need strong process control, auditability, and resumability, but it writes to a state directory, acts on the workspace according to each process, and blueprints can perform broad installation actions. MCP-related capability (for example genty start-server --transport stdio) is inferred from the supplied README; the source provides no verifiable MCP tool list or client config example, so those fields are left empty.
Babysitter is an MIT-licensed tool for agentic orchestration whose stated purpose is to enforce obedience on agentic workforces and let them manage extremely complex workflows through deterministic, hallucination-free self-orchestration. Workflows are defined in JavaScript code (a process): the orchestrator can only do what that code permits, every step ends with a mandatory stop, quality gates block progression, breakpoints require human approval, and every decision is recorded in an immutable, deterministically replayable event-sourced journal. As of v6 it is harness-agnostic via its Adapters runtime, so the same processes run across the 12 AI coding harnesses in its install matrix. Install surfaces include the npm packages @a5c-ai/babysitter (main CLI), @a5c-ai/adapters-cli (host-side adapters CLI, Node >= 22.13.0), @a5c-ai/babysitter-sdk (public SDK/library), and @a5c-ai/genty-platform (optional runtime CLI with call, resume, plan, start-server, tui), plus per-harness plugins. The README also documents a built-in internal harness that runs processes programmatically without any external AI coding agent and can delegate tasks to discovered harness CLIs, a 4-layer token compression subsystem, and a blueprint marketplace of natural-language instructions or deterministic JS processes. The repository also contains an adjacent kip-sdk memory substrate package.
