Show HN: Babysit – let coding agents operate a TUI

Category: cli-tool

Tags: pty, cli-tool, process-management

Score: 6.3/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 7, Documentation: 7, Utility: 6)

Babysit is a Rust CLI tool that wraps commands in a PTY, allowing users or coding agents to control, monitor, and interact with long-running processes from separate terminals. It's interesting because it provides a practical interface for scripting and agent-driven TUI control with detach/re-attach, screenshot, and expect features.

Target audience: backend devs, devops
