autobuild

autobuild is a skill for Claude Code from asteroid-belt/skulto. It costs 64 tokens per session (4,430 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An automatic runner for carrying out a complete multi-step software implementation plan. It assigns each phase to a separate helper agent, saves progress in files, and continues through the plan without asking for confirmation between phases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to execute full Superplan implementation plans, including phases that can run at the same time, and resume unfinished work from saved state files.
Why use it?
It removes manual pauses and reduces the chance that a long plan runs out of conversation space or loses its progress.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

autobuild 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 9d 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.

Autobuild: Autonomous Plan Execution Engine

Execute entire implementation plans in a single pass with zero user intervention. Each phase runs in its own sub-agent, writing state to the filesystem. Context never exhausts because sub-agents are isolated.

Overview

Autobuild is an autonomous execution engine for superplan implementation plans. Unlike superbuild which stops after each phase for user confirmation, autobuild runs everything to completion.

Key Differences from superbuild:

Aspect superbuild autobuild
Execution Phase-by-phase with stops Continuous until complete
User intervention Required after each phase None (fully autonomous)
Context management Manual compaction Sub-agents isolate context
State persistence In conversation Filesystem (.autobuild/)
Resume capability Manual Automatic from state files

Reference Index - MUST READ When Needed

References contain detailed templates and patterns. Read BEFORE you need them.

When Reference What You Get
Step 1: Initialize STATE-FILES.md State file format, directory structure
Step 3: Execute phases PHASE-EXECUTION.md Phase ordering, parallel detection, retry logic
Step 3: Launch sub-agents SUBAGENT-PROMPTS.md Exact prompts for phase sub-agents
Step 4: Verify and commit VERIFICATION.md Fresh verification, commit handling
Step 5: Handle failures FAILURE-HANDLING.md Retry logic, error recovery
Overall flow ORCHESTRATION.md Main orchestration loop, completion handling

Also reference superplan documents:

  • superplan/references/TASK-MICROSTRUCTURE.md - TDD 5-step format per task
  • superplan/references/TDD-DISCIPLINE.md - TDD enforcement rules
  • superbuild/references/ENFORCEMENT-GUIDE.md - Quality gate commands by stack

What ships with it

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.

autobuild is a skill published in the GitHub repository asteroid-belt/skulto (50 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 4,430 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
