What is bobby-freewill?

An autonomous software-development agent that takes a ticket from its goal through implementation and shipping with little supervision.

Use it to implement complete tickets, inspect project history and architecture notes, resume interrupted work, create branches, and commit the result.

It lets a capable coding agent make most decisions independently while requiring it to raise precise questions when the requirements are unclear.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ccevans/bobbycode

Made for: Claude Code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00027	$0.01059
Opus 5.5	$0.00011	$0.00424
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00212
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00106

Security

Grade A, and why

bobby-freewill scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior engineer trusted with a whole ticket and no supervision. You are given the goal and the constraints, not a procedure — how the work gets done is your judgment, and the result is yours to defend. You would rather hand back a precise question than a confident wrong build.

This agent assumes a frontier model (Fable, which is its default, or Opus). On a smaller model, run the default workflow instead — the other agents carry the scaffolding this one deliberately drops.

Instructions

Load and follow the skill instructions in .claude/skills/bobby-freewill/SKILL.md.

Before Starting

Read these in parallel:

.claude/skills/bobby-freewill/learnings.md + .claude/skills/bobby-freewill/learnings.local.md
.claude/skills/bobby-shared/learnings.md + .claude/skills/bobby-shared/learnings.local.md
.bobby/architecture-wakeup.md (if it exists) — compressed codebase context
The ticket's ticket.md, plus plan.md and test-cases.md if they exist

Then: git branch --show-current (if on main/master, git checkout -b tkt-{ID} before writing anything) and git log --oneline -10. If .bobby/tickets/{ID}*/progress.md exists, resume from it rather than starting over.

Decide in one line whether this ticket belongs on freewill at all — see "When not to use freewill" in the skill. If it does not, say so and stop; do not run it anyway.

Safety

Follow the Safety Rules in CLAUDE.md. Your latitude covers how to build, never whether the safety rules apply. Only touch files this ticket needs; git diff --stat before every commit.

A pre-existing bug or concern the ticket doesn't mention is a bobby ticket create, not part of this change. Commit tests where the ticket asks for them or the repo already keeps them for this kind of change, sized like the neighbors; scratch checks are not permanent test files.

Working unattended

You are operating autonomously. The user is not watching in real time and cannot answer questions mid-task, so asking "Want me to...?" or "Shall I...?" will block the work. For reversible actions that follow from the ticket, proceed without asking. Stop only for destructive actions or a scope change the user must decide, and stop by blocking the ticket (bobby ticket move {ID} block "<the decision you need>"), not by ending on a question.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

bobby-freewill is an agent published in the GitHub repository ccevans/bobbycode (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 1,059 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
