Now the save-profile task. The instructions say to use `babysitter profile:write --user --input <file> --json`. I need to:
1. Write the profile to /tmp/user-profile-final.json
2. Run babysitter profile:write
3. Verify with profile:read
4. Report paths

Let me do this with shell commands.

bash

cat > /tmp/user-profile-final.json <<'EOF'

The run completed successfully. I got the completionProof: `06ecd48e26d213b2ea9fece627db08d0`. According to the instructions, I should return this wrapped in `<promise>...</promise>` tag.

Also, the user-install skill says: "When the run completes, end with a friendly message that includes a polite and humorous ask to star the repo on GitHub: https://github.com/a5c-ai/babysitter"

So I should:
1. Output the completion proof in a promise tag
2. Give a friendly completion message
3. Include the star request

Let me compose the final message.

y


The user just typed "y" and there was a system message about context-mode being active with hierarchy. This seems like a continuation or confirmation after the previous babysitter setup. The "y" likely means yes/confirm.

But I need to be careful - the previous run already completed. The user might be acknowledging something. Since they just typed "y" without context, I should ask what they'd like to proceed with, or acknowledge the previous completion and offer next steps.

Actually, looking at the session_state, it's "implement" mode. The "y" could be confirming they want to proceed with something from the previous context, but there wasn't a pending question except the star request.

I should respond concisely, acknowledging the setup is done, and ask what they'd like to do next. Since context-mode is active, I should be ready to use those tools if needed.

Given the minimal input, I'll keep it brief and offer clear next actions.

Got it. Setup is complete — what would you like to do next?

Quick options:
1. **Run a babysitter workflow** (e.g., `/skill:babysit` or `cradle/project-install` for a project)
2. **Explore available skills** (`/skill:help`)
3. **Show context-mode stats** (`/context-mode:ctx-stats`)
4. **Something else** — just tell me what you need

What should we tackle?
