--- name: process-builder description: Scaffold new babysitter process definitions following SDK patterns, proper structure, and best practices. Guides the 3-phase workflow from research to implementation. --- # Process Builder Create new process definitions for the babysitter event-sourced orchestration framework. ## Quick Reference `` Processes live in: plugins/babysitter/skills/babysit/process/ ├── methodologies/ # Reusable development approaches (TDD, BDD, Scrum, etc.) │ └── [name]/ │ ├── README.md # documentation │ ├── [name].js # Main process │ └── examples/ # Sample inputs │ └── specializations/ # Domain-specific processes ├── [category]/ # Engineering specializations (direct children) │ └── [process].js └── domains/ └── [domain]/ # Business, Science, Social Sciences └── [spec]/ ├── README.md ├── references.md ├── processes-backlog.md └── [process].js ` ## 3-Phase Workflow ### Phase 1: Research & documentation Create foundational documentation: `bash # Check existing specializations ls plugins/babysitter/skills/babysit/process/specializations/ # Check methodologies ls plugins/babysitter/skills/babysit/process/methodologies/ ` **Create:** - README.md - Overview, roles, goals, use cases, common flows - references.md - External references, best practices, links to sources ### Phase 2: Identify Processes Create processes-backlog.md with identified processes: `markdown # Processes Backlog - [Specialization Name] ## Identified Processes - [ ] **process-name** - Short description of what this process accomplishes - Reference: [Link to methodology or standard] - Inputs: list key inputs - Outputs: list key outputs - [ ] **another-process** - Description ... ` ### Phase 3: Create Process Files Create .js process files following SDK patterns (see below). --- ## Process File Structure Every process file follows this pattern: `javascript /** * @process [category]/[process-name] * @description Clear description of what the process accomplishes end-to-end * @inputs { inputName: type, optionalInput?: type } * @outputs { success: boolean, outputName: type, artifacts: array } * * @example * const result = await orchestrate('[category]/[process-name]', { * inputName: 'value', * optionalInput: 'optional-value' * }); * * @references * - Book: "Relevant Book Title" by Author * - Article: [Title](https://link) * - Standard: ISO/IEEE reference */ import { defineTask } from '@a5c-ai/babysitter-sdk'; /** * [Process Name] Process * * Methodology: Brief description of the approach * * Phases: * 1.
