Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Cycle Time Analyzer ## Overview The Cycle Time Analyzer skill provides comprehensive capabilities for analyzing and reducing cycle times. It supports time and motion studies, takt time comparison, line balancing, and value stream cycle efficiency calculations. ## Capabilities - Time and motion study - Cycle time distribution analysis - Takt time comparison - Line balancing analysis - Bottleneck visualization - Queue time identification - Value stream cycle efficiency - Improvement simulation ## Used By Processes - LEAN-001: Value Stream Mapping - LEAN-005: Standard Work Documentation - TOC-001: Constraint Identification and Exploitation ## Tools and Libraries - Time study software - Process mining tools - Simulation software - Video analysis tools ## Usage ```yaml skill: cycle-time-analyzer inputs: process: "Assembly Line A" takt_time: 60 # seconds workstations: - name: "Station 1" cycle_times: [55, 58, 52, 60, 57] - name: "Station 2" cycle_times: [62, 65, 63, 61, 64] - name: "Station 3" cycle_times: [48, 50, 47, 52, 49] value_stream_data: total_lead_time: 10 # days value_added_time: 45 # minutes outputs: - cycle_time_summary - bottleneck_analysis - line_balance_chart - improveme

What does the cycle-time-analyzer skill do?
Cycle time analysis and reduction skill with process timing, bottleneck identification, and flow improvement
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill cycle-time-analyzer --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.
