09-for-sure

09-for-sure is a skill for Claude Code from ai-driven-dev/framework. It costs 53 tokens per session (491 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An iterative workflow that keeps trying a coding task until a specified command or other runnable success condition passes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps define a task's success condition, run separate workers for its steps, verify the result, and retry with a meaningfully changed approach when needed.
Why use it?
It prevents a task from being marked complete after an unverified attempt and records progress in one tracking document.

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

09-for-sure 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 38 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill: for-sure

Run an autonomous loop until a success condition is verified. An interactive pre-flight (human present) sets it up, then autonomous execution (human gone) retries until success, acting as the user and never stopping early.

Actions

# Action Phase Role
01 init-tracking interactive pre-flight validate the goal, build the journey map, create the tracking file, spawn the loop
02 auto-accept autonomous decide and act as the user, stopping only on money or destructive actions
03 autonomous-loop autonomous spawn one worker per step, verify, retry, evaluate the success condition

Run 01 interactively; it spawns 03, which runs unattended under the 02 auto-accept rules until the success condition passes. Before running an action, read its file in actions/, not only the table or assets.

Transversal rules

  • Single source of truth: all task state lives in aidd_docs/tasks/<task-name>.md and nowhere else.
  • No repeated failures: never retry a failed approach without a meaningful change.
  • Honesty over escape: never set status: implemented until the success condition genuinely passes.
  • Auto-accept: when a decision or approval is needed, act as the user (create accounts, generate keys, approve prompts, install tools), never asking. Stop only on a payment or a destructive action.
  • The loop spawns one worker agent per step and never does the work itself.

Assets

  • assets/plan-template.md: the tracking file format (frontmatter, phases, acceptance criteria, Log).
  • assets/autonomous-loop-worker-prompt.md: the prompt the loop spawns each per-step worker with.

References

  • references/autonomous-loop-log-format.md: the Log entry format the loop appends per attempt.

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

09-for-sure is a skill published in the GitHub repository ai-driven-dev/framework (537 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 491 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
