## 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`

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