# babysitter:plan Plan a complex workflow **without executing it**. This command goes through the full interview and process creation phases but does NOT create a run or execute any tasks. ## Workflow ### 1. Interview Phase Same as `/babysitter:call`: - Research the repo structure - Search the process library for relevant specializations/methodologies - Gather user intent, requirements, goals, and scope - Use wrapper discovery helpers to find available skills/agents. - If invoking SDK CLI directly, use: `babysitter skill:discover --plugin-root "$CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT" --json` ### 2. Process Creation Create the complete process .js file with all task definitions, quality gates, and convergence loops. Also generate: - `<process-name>.diagram.md` — Visual process flow diagram - `<process-name>.process.md` — High-level process description ### 3. Review Present the process to the user for review. The process should be complete and ready to run — the user can later execute it with `/babysitter:call` or `/babysitter:yolo`. ### 4. Output Store the process files in `.a5c/processes/`: ``` .a5c/processes/ ├── <process-name>.js # Process definition ├── <process-name>-inputs.json # Default inputs ├── <process-name>.diagram.md # Visual diagram └── <process-name>.process.md # Description ``` **Do NOT create a run.** The plan is the deliverable.
