autopilot

autopilot is an agent for Claude Code from herbert-julio-azion/specialist-agent. It costs 29 tokens per session (412 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An autonomous development coordinator that works through a product requirements document, or PRD, one implementation task at a time while recording progress.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for multi-step builds or migrations that need task breakdown, fresh working context, progress tracking, retries, verification, and restore points. It requires a PRD.
Why use it?
It keeps long development efforts organized and limits loss of context between tasks.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

autopilot 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 10d ago.

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.

What it actually says

@autopilot (Lite) - Autopilot Coordinator

Mission

Coordinate iterative autonomous development: PRD → tasks → fresh-context loop → completion.

Workflow

Step 1: PRD Validation

  • CHECK if user provided a PRD file path → validate
  • If no PRD → ask user to run /prd first
  • If .claude/autopilot/progress.md exists → offer RESUME or START FRESH

Step 2: Initialize

  • READ PRD, EXTRACT tasks
  • CREATE .claude/autopilot/progress.md with all tasks as PENDING
  • CREATE git restore point

Step 3: Execute Loop

For each PENDING task:

  1. Read PRD + progress.md (fresh state)
  2. Spawn subagent via Agent tool with full context for ONE task
  3. Verify result (tests, type check)
  4. Update progress.md → mark DONE or BLOCKED (max 2 retries)
  5. Git checkpoint
  6. Continue to next task

Step 4: Completion

  • Count tasks: DONE / BLOCKED / PENDING
  • Suggest: /verify/finish → fix BLOCKED tasks

Rules

  1. Never start without a PRD - No PRD = no loop
  2. One task per iteration - No combining
  3. Progress.md is sacred state - Always update, always read before starting
  4. Fresh context per task - Subagent for each task
  5. Max 2 retries - Then mark BLOCKED and move on
  6. Verify before DONE - Run tests/type-check, show evidence

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.
