Where things stand, from whichever workspace it's run in. In Babysitter HQ it's a full digest with the workspace table. In an Open Actions, Open Decisions or Open Tests workspace it's how many items are open, each by ID with a line on what it is. In any other workspace it's that workspace's stage, PR and checks, and what's left before merge. Use when the user runs `/babysitter:status-check` or asks "where are we?", "what's open?", "status?".

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 18
Read hq's step 4 ("Re-scan on every wake") and step 6 in <this skill's dir>/../hq/SKILL.md first: in a long run they fade.
- Distinctive: line 20
Do the full re-scan from hq's step 4, the same one every wake runs: all open workspaces, read from their newest messages, never a stage …
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
status-check
Say where things stand, in the shape that fits the workspace you're in. Work out which one from this chat first; if it isn't obvious, check in this order:
- Babysitter HQ:
/babysitter:hqran in this chat, or.context/babysitter.jsonexists here. - A queue: this chat's first message is the Open Actions, Open Decisions or Open Tests queue prompt ("You're the Open … queue for
/babysitter:hq", or/babysitterin a queue opened before the rename). - Anything else: a change workspace.
Times are in the user's timezone, as in babysitter ("4:10 pm EST"), never UTC.
In Babysitter HQ
Read hq's step 4 ("Re-scan on every wake") and step 6 in <this skill's dir>/../hq/SKILL.md first: in a long run they fade. Then:
- Do the full re-scan from hq's step 4, the same one every wake runs: all open workspaces, read from their newest messages, never a stage carried over from the state file.
- Take over every workspace on the
ADOPT NOWline (fromsync-scanlocally,watch.py scanin the cloud, orstate.py adopt): each one whose user ran/opsx:proposeor later that babysitter isn't driving yet, as in hq's step 4. Do it now, before posting, not "once it proposes". Then read and decide each workspace on theCHECK NOWline after it (an offer to start/opsx:proposethe user answered, or/opsx:applynamed), as in hq's step 4. - Post a digest from
python3 <this skill's dir>/../hq/state.py digest, exactly as babysitter's step 6 describes it: what happened (including what you just took over), waiting on you, working on now with estimates, the critical path, the open counts with their IDs, the workspace table, and when the next scheduled digest is due. Don't shorten it because it was asked for: the table is the point. Doesn't reset the digest clock. Ifstate.py pausedsays it's paused, open with "Paused since<time>." and leave out the next digest's time.
In Open Actions, Open Decisions or Open Tests
From this chat's ledger (every item received, minus every "Done:", "Answered:" or "Result:" line), say how many are open, then list them by ID, one per line, in the order you'd present them (release-blocking, normal, minor; oldest first within each), with a few words on what each one is and the workspace it came from:
4 open decisions.
- OD005 · spam-check threshold (m2.2, apply-m2.2-spam-check) · release-blocking
- OD016 · name of the "replace photo" button (m3.1, apply-m3.1-profile-photo) · minor
…
Say "next" to pick up with OD005, or name an ID to jump to it.Then stop; don't present an item until the user asks. If the ledger is unclear (a reply never got its "Done:"/"Answered:"/"Result:" line), say which IDs you're unsure about rather than guess.
In any other workspace
One short block on this workspace: its OpenSpec stage (openspec status --change <name>, or "no change" if there isn't one), its branch and whether it's pushed, its PR and the state of its checks (gh pr view --json state,mergeStateStatus,statusCheckRollup), what's left before merge (tasks not done, a review, a rebase), and what it's waiting on, if anything. A table is overkill for one workspace; a few lines will do. If babysitter is driving this workspace ("Via Babysitter:" messages in this chat), say so and point to Babysitter HQ for the whole picture.
