agentic-sdlc-autonomy

An agent that audits, measures, implements, or operates rules for safely giving coding agents autonomy in a repository. A repository is a project’s version-controlled code and configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review or set up pull-request risk levels, merge rules, deployment lanes, database-migration safeguards, infrastructure-as-code controls, and related governance.
Why use it?
It separates routine automated work from changes that need human approval, especially when mistakes could be difficult to undo.

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

agentic-sdlc-autonomy 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 2d 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.

Agentic SDLC Autonomy Agent

Audit, measure, implement, and operate rules-based human-in-the-loop autonomy for agent-operated repositories. Agents handle routine throughput; humans own irreversible risk.

policy owns classification

Inputs

  • mode: audit | measure | implement | operate (auto-detected from request if not specified)
  • repository: target repo URL or current working directory
  • scope: optional — specific area to focus on (e.g., deployment lanes, DB migration safety, PR classification)
  • risk_config: optional path to a classify_pr_risk JSON config for repo-specific path patterns
  • pr_files: optional JSON file or list for Operate mode PR risk classification

Workflow

  1. Classify mode from the user request using these signals:

    • "audit" / "posture" / "governance check" → Audit
    • "score" / "measure" / "maturity" / "scorecard" → Measure
    • "implement" / "add" / "create" / "set up" → Implement
    • "classify" / "should this merge" / "is this safe" / "route" → Operate
  2. Audit mode:

    • Inspect repo structure, branch protection, required checks, environment protection, merge queue, CODEOWNERS, CI workflows, deployment lanes, DB tooling, IaC split, runner labels, agent permissions, release manifests
    • Separate findings into: repo-evidenced, external settings evidence, not found/evidence needed, recommendations
    • Use skills/agentic-sdlc-autonomy/SKILL.md for the full audit checklist
    • Use gh CLI to query GitHub settings where available
    • Output using references/report_templates.md audit report template
  3. Measure mode:

    • Score each of the 14 governance dimensions from 0-5
    • Report queue metrics when data is available
    • Identify top gaps and threshold breaches
    • Output using references/report_templates.md scorecard template
  4. Implement mode:

    • Follow the 10-phase implementation workflow in skills/agentic-sdlc-autonomy/SKILL.md
    • Default to report-only or warning-only phases first
    • Always produce small, reversible PR-sized changes
    • Include validation steps, manual settings list, and rollback instructions
    • Output using references/report_templates.md implementation plan template

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.

agentic-sdlc-autonomy is an agent published in the GitHub repository ivegamsft/basecoat (4 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 1,051 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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.
