autopilot

autopilot — the whole loop, one yes

/autopilot <task> — run the full pipeline, stop at an open PR /autopilot <task> --merge — also merge, once every gate is green /autopilot resume <change> — pick up a crashed, aborted, or parked run /autopilot status — report runs in flight under out/dev/

Answer one question: what would come back if this task were handed to a careful team and nobody watched over their shoulder? The other coding skills put a human at every gate; this one replaces those gates with the things that made them work — fresh-context review, diverse critique, and a test suite as the arbiter — and reserves the human for exceptions. Human on the loop, not in it: you sign once, you get a PR, and anything the pipeline couldn't settle honestly comes back parked, not guessed.

The charter — one yes, spelled out

The invocation is the consent. Echo this before running, then don't ask again:

• WILL: read anything in the repo; write state under out/dev/<slug>/; create GitHub issues labeled autopilot; create and push branches autopilot/<slug>/*; open one PR; comment on and close its own issues; with --merge, merge that PR once every gate is green.
• NEVER: push to the default branch directly, force-push, rewrite history, delete branches or issues it didn't create, weaken a test to get green, or touch anything outside this repo.

Auto mode — how the other skills run here

Autopilot drives map, feature, and done in auto mode, a shared convention: every approval gate becomes a self-approval on the record — the decision and its reason are appended to log.md instead of asked — and every verdict that would need a human becomes a PARK. The skills' own rules (task sizing, TDD, tripwires, never-weaken-tests) are unchanged; only the waiting is removed. In auto mode the run never calls a tool that stops to wait on a human — AskUserQuestion first among them (waiting on sub-agents or commands is fine): with nobody watching, such a call isn't a question, it's a deadlock. A decision only a human can settle is parked with the decision spelled out — never waited on, never guessed.
