## With Arguments — Show Details

If an argument is provided:

1. **Command help**: Read the SKILL.md for that command from `.codex/skills/babysitter/<name>/SKILL.md` and display its content
2. **Process help**: Read the process .js file from `.a5c/processes/<name>.js` and describe it
   - Also search bundled upstream process library at `upstream/babysitter/skills/babysit/process`
3. **Skill/agent help**: Use wrapper discovery helpers; if invoking SDK CLI directly use `babysitter skill:discover --plugin-root "$CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT" --json`
4. **Methodology help**: Search the process library for matching methodology

Use the skill-loader module to resolve command names:
```javascript
const { getSkillContent } = require('./.codex/skill-loader');
const content = getSkillContent(args);
```
