babysitter:project-install

Guide through onboarding a new or existing project for babysitter orchestration.

Workflow

1. Research the Codebase

• Analyze project structure, language, framework, build tools
• Check for existing .a5c/ directory
• Detect CI/CD configuration (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.)
• Identify key entry points and test suites

2. Interview

• What are the project's goals?
• What workflows should be orchestrated?
• What quality gates matter most?
• Any specific tools or frameworks to prefer?

3. Build Project Profile

Write the project profile using the CLI:

echo '<profile-json>' > /tmp/project-profile.json
babysitter profile:write --project --input /tmp/project-profile.json --json

The profile includes:

• Project name, description, language, framework
• Build and test commands
• Quality gates configuration
• Preferred skills and agents
• CI/CD integration settings

4. Install Tools

• Ensure @a5c-ai/babysitter-sdk is in package.json
• Create .a5c/ directory structure
• Set up .codex/config.toml MCP server config
• Create AGENTS.md if not present

5. Optional: Configure CI/CD

• Add babysitter orchestration to CI pipeline
• Set up automated quality gates
• Configure deployment hooks

Done!
