auto

auto is a skill for Claude Code from anilcancakir/claude-code. It costs 37 tokens per session (7,427 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

An autonomous coding workflow that fixes the definition of “done,” plans and executes the work on a separate branch, then checks the result without changing it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for end-to-end coding tasks that need planning, implementation, and a final independent check. It does not push changes to a remote repository.
Why use it?
It keeps the work tied to agreed completion criteria and prevents the agent that made changes from judging its own work.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 C, and why

auto scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 441 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/ac:auto

Autonomous runner. It fixes what done means before any work happens, hands the work to the existing ac:plan and ac:execute chain, and ends with a verdict written by a gate that did none of the work.

Request: $ARGUMENTS

Standing rules

These hold for the whole run, including after a compaction. Everything below this block is procedure; these are the bounds. They sit here because a re-attached skill keeps only its first 5,000 tokens after compaction (https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills.md) and this body is larger, so a rule further down is gone from context on exactly the long runs that need it.

Turn termination. Your turn ends on exactly one of: the Phase 5 closing report, a terminal branch that deleted .ac/state/active-auto.json first, or a one-line wait status while background workers you spawned still run (each task-notification starts your next turn; never wait with a sleep or polling loop). Nothing else ends it. While that marker exists, .ac/auto/<slug>/verdict.md does not, and no background worker is running, the plugin's auto Stop guard blocks the turn from ending (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/stop-guard-auto.sh), and its block budget is 3 PER PHASE, so the gating handoff always starts with a fresh three however many were spent earlier. Writing the verdict at Phase 4 is the only action that releases it for good. Never end a turn by describing what you would do next, and never propose that the user open a fresh session to continue.

Marker path. .ac/state/active-auto.json is the single live-run record; the run directory is .ac/auto/<slug>/. Create the run directory before or with the marker: the guard exits 0 when the directory is missing (the run-directory check in stop-guard-auto.sh), so a marker written first leaves the guard silently inert for the whole run.

Questions reach the user; only plan-side ones continue on a timeout. Every interview gate in ac:plan Stage 3 and every BLOCKER in either chained skill reaches the user exactly as it would in a supervised run. You never answer one ahead of the user and never infer the answer from the request prose. What happens when nobody answers is set by the On AFK timeout column of each chained skill's <auto_mode> table, and only in this session while it owns .ac/state/active-auto.json: a plan interview gate or another plan-side question continues with its Recommended option once the question-timeout hook says so, recorded as "timed out, not user-approved"; an Oracle CRITICAL (plan 3.5c) continues at most once per run; an execute BLOCKER (2i dependency failed, 2j three failures spanning two waves, 3c plan-spec issue, a failed checkpoint commit) waits for the user however long that takes. No timed-out answer is ever written as overrides[].accepted_by: that field exists only when a real user answer produced it. With AC_AFK_TIMER unset, or in a background session where Claude Code never arms the timer, this skill treats the timer as absent, and an adopted run locks its remaining plan questions through Force-finalize instead (Phase A4). The promise this skill makes is that it does not stop for anything else.

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.

auto is a skill published in the GitHub repository anilcancakir/claude-code (3 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 7,427 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
