Babysitter is an npm-distributed CLI and runtime that enforces deterministic, step-by-step process control on AI coding agents across 12 supported harnesses (e.g. Claude Code, Codex). It defines workflows as code with quality gates, human approval breakpoints, and an immutable decision journal so agents cannot skip steps or hallucinate progress.

Use cases

  • enforce step-by-step discipline on AI coding agents
  • run complex multi-step workflows with quality gates and human approvals
  • prevent agents from drifting or hallucinating task completion
  • orchestrate agent work across Claude Code, Codex, and other harnesses
  • keep an immutable audit journal of agent decisions
  • define reusable workflow blueprints for agentic coding tasks

When to choose

  • you use AI coding agents and need guaranteed process compliance
  • you want deterministic, auditable agent workflows with gates and approvals
  • you need harness-agnostic orchestration across multiple AI coding tools

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose multi-agent conversation framework rather than enforced coding workflows
  • your project does not use Node.js 20+ or any supported AI coding harness
  • you want fully autonomous agents without checkpoints or human approval
