fire-autonomous

/fire-autonomous

Full autopilot after PRD is complete — plan, execute, verify, advance through all phases independently

---

Purpose

After discussions and PRD are complete (/fire-1a-discuss), this command takes over the entire build pipeline. Claude plans each phase, executes it, verifies the work (verifier + reviewer), fixes any issues, and advances to the next phase — all without human checkpoints.

Design principle (Boris Cherny): "You don't trust; you instrument." All verification stays active. Verdicts auto-route to fix cycles instead of pausing for human input. The human reviews the finished product, not intermediate steps.

Safety: Path verification, HAC, circuit breaker, fire-verifier, and fire-reviewer all remain active. Autonomous mode removes human pauses, not safety gates.

Arguments

arguments:
  --from-phase:
    type: integer
    default: "next incomplete phase from CONSCIENCE.md"
    description: "Start from this phase number"

  --to-phase:
    type: integer
    default: "last phase in VISION.md"
    description: "Stop after completing this phase"

  --max-phase-attempts:
    type: integer
    default: 3
    description: "Max plan-execute-verify cycles per phase before escalating"

  --max-iterations:
    type: integer
    default: 50
    description: "Max iterations per execution loop (passed to fire-3-execute)"

  --dry-run:
    type: boolean
    default: false
    description: "Show what would be done without executing"

  --token-efficient:
    type: boolean
    default: false
    description: "Enable ALAS context slicing for ~60% token reduction. Passes --token-efficient to fire-3-execute. Default OFF for best quality."

Process

Step 1: Validate Prerequisites

Read .planning/VISION.md → extract all phases
Read .planning/CONSCIENCE.md → get current status, find next incomplete phase

IF --from-phase not specified:
  from_phase = first phase with status != complete in CONSCIENCE.md

IF --to-phase not specified:
  to_phase = last phase in VISION.md

Validate:
  1. .planning/ directory exists
  2. VISION.md has phases in range [from_phase, to_phase]
  3. For each phase in range: MEMORY.md exists (PRD/discussion complete)
  4. Path Verification Gate (MANDATORY — working directory matches project)
  5. Cross-Phase DAG Validation (v13.0 — from fire-3-execute Step 3.55)
     → Check for circular dependencies between phases
     → Validate provides/requires contracts match across phase boundaries
     → STOP if cycles found or contracts broken

IF any phase lacks MEMORY.md:
  Display:
    "Phase {N} has no MEMORY.md — discussions not complete.
     Run /fire-1a-discuss {N} first.
     Autonomous mode requires all target phases to have context."
  STOP
