babysitter:yolo
Start babysitting in non-interactive mode — no user interaction or breakpoints, fully autonomous execution.
Best use case
babysitter:yolo is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Start babysitting in non-interactive mode — no user interaction or breakpoints, fully autonomous execution.
Teams using babysitter:yolo should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# babysitter:yolo
Identical to `/babysitter:call` but runs in **non-interactive mode**:
- **Skip the interview phase** — parse intent directly from the user's prompt
- **Auto-approve all breakpoints** — never pause for human approval
- **No user questions** — proceed autonomously through the entire orchestration loop
## Workflow
1. Parse the initial prompt to extract intent, scope, and requirements
2. Research the repo structure to understand the codebase
3. Search the process library for relevant specializations/methodologies
4. Create the process .js file and inputs
5. Create the run:
```bash
babysitter run:create \
--process-id <id> \
--entry <path>#<export> \
--inputs <inputs-file> \
--prompt "$PROMPT" \
--harness codex \
--session-id "${CODEX_THREAD_ID:-$CODEX_SESSION_ID}" \
--plugin-root "$CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT" \
--json
```
6. Iterate until completion — auto-resolve all breakpoints:
```bash
babysitter run:iterate .a5c/runs/<runId> --json --iteration <n>
```
For breakpoint effects, immediately post approval:
```bash
echo '{"approved":true,"response":"Auto-approved (yolo mode)"}' > tasks/<effectId>/output.json
babysitter task:post .a5c/runs/<runId> <effectId> --status ok --value tasks/<effectId>/output.json --json
```
7. When `completionProof` is emitted, return it wrapped in `<promise>PROOF</promise>`
## Key Difference from /babysitter:call
The ONLY difference is that breakpoints are auto-approved and no user questions are asked. The orchestration loop, effect handling, and result posting are identical.Related Skills
