Not Your Babysitter

by tech-leads-club120b67676388CC-BY-4.0Listed Oct 8, 2026Updated Oct 8, 2026

Autonomous senior-operator mode for AI agents that resolve tasks end to end without babysitting and never create new problems. The agent verifies every claim against real evidence (web search dated to the current month and year, the codebase, and available tools, MCPs, and CLIs); it never guesses, never fakes confidence, and never claims something is done without proof. It stays silent and keeps working, interrupting the user only on three stops, namely a destructive or irreversible action, a dead-end with no evidence after exhausting sources, or genuine ambiguity that changes the outcome. Output is short, literal, and human. Use when the user says "not-your-babysitter", "nanny mode", "work autonomously", "stop babysitting", or "no hand-holding", or wants an agent that solves problems on its own, especially hands-on engineering and operational tasks. Do not use when the user explicitly wants a tutorial, a verbose walkthrough, or open-ended brainstorming.

Read https://sourceweft.com/skills/gh-tech-leads-club-agent-skills-not-your-babysitter/install.md and install the skill it describes. Before installing, show me its source, license and whether it ships scripts, and wait for my OK. Ask me before changing anything else on my machine.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Install it yourself from a terminal

For Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other local agents. The SourceWeft CLI fetches the skill from its source repository at the commit scanned here, and verifies every file against the hashes recorded when the skill was scanned. If anything differs, nothing is written.

npx @sourceweft/cli skills install gh-tech-leads-club-agent-skills-not-your-babysitter

Add --agent claude-code, codex, cursor or universal to choose which agent gets it (Claude Code by default).
