assimilate

assimilate

Invoke the babysitter:babysit skill (using the Skill tool) and follow its instructions (SKILL.md).

Use the assimilation domain processes from the active process library to convert external sources into well-defined babysitter process definitions with accompanying skills/ and agents/ directories.

If the workspace does not already have an active process-library binding, initialize it first through the shared global SDK binding:

babysitter process-library:active --json

Run the process after formalizing it.

Available assimilation workflows:

• methodology-assimilation (specializations/meta/assimilation/workflows/methodology-assimilation) - Learns an external methodology from its repo and converts procedural instructions, commands, and manual flows into babysitter processes with refactored skills and agents. Supports output as methodology or specialization.
• harness integration (specializations/meta/assimilation/harness/*) - Integrates babysitter SDK with a specific AI coding harness (generic, codex, opencode, gemini-cli, openclaw, antigravity).

During the interview phase, determine which assimilation workflow to use based on the user's target:

• If the target is a repo URL or methodology name then use the methodology-assimilation workflow.
• If the target is a harness name (e.g. codex, opencode, antigravity) then use the matching harness process.
• If the target is a specification or other source then adapt the methodology-assimilation workflow for the spec format.
• If unclear, ask the user to clarify the assimilation target and type.

After Assimilation: Contribute Back

After successfully assimilating a methodology or harness integration, prompt the user to share it with the community. The assimilated process definitions, skills, and agents could benefit other babysitter users:

• Completed a methodology assimilation: /babysitter:contrib library contribution: assimilated [methodology-name] into babysitter process definitions
• Completed a harness integration: /babysitter:contrib library contribution: [harness-name] harness integration
• Hit issues during assimilation (e.g. unsupported patterns, missing SDK features): /babysitter:contrib bug report: assimilation of [target] failed because [description] or /babysitter:contrib feature request: [what the SDK needs to support]

Even just reporting that an assimilation didn't work well helps improve babysitter for everyone.
