# Critical Chain Scheduler ## Overview The Critical Chain Scheduler skill provides comprehensive capabilities for implementing Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM). It supports critical chain identification, buffer sizing and monitoring, resource leveling, and multi-project synchronization. ## Capabilities - Critical chain identification - Project buffer sizing - Feeding buffer calculation - Resource buffer placement - Multi-project buffer management - Buffer consumption tracking - Relay runner behavior monitoring ## Used By Processes - TOC-004: Critical Chain Project Management - CAP-002: Production Scheduling Optimization ## Tools and Libraries - Project management APIs - Scheduling optimization tools - Resource management systems - Buffer monitoring dashboards ## Usage ```yaml skill: critical-chain-scheduler inputs: project_name: "New Product Launch" tasks: - id: "T1" name: "Design" duration_50: 10 # 50% confidence estimate duration_90: 18 # 90% confidence estimate resources: ["Engineer A"] predecessors: [] - id: "T2" name: "Prototype" duration_50: 5 duration_90: 9 resources: ["Engineer A"] predecessors: ["T1"] - id: "T3" name: "Testing" duration_50: 8 duration_90: 14 resour

What does the critical-chain-scheduler skill do?
Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) skill with buffer management and resource leveling
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill critical-chain-scheduler --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
