autopilot

autopilot is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from firatcand/forge. It costs 77 tokens per session (2,671 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An end-to-end workflow for taking a new product idea from discovery through written specifications, a task roadmap, tracker setup, and delivery.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn an idea into approved product documents, a dependency-based task plan, tracker items, and a delivery process.
Why use it?
It removes the need to coordinate each planning command by hand, while stopping for user approval at defined decision points.

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

autopilot 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 — 212 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/autopilot

/autopilot is the single front door for a NEW forge product: it takes a raw idea through discovery and the whole spec chain — /forge → /draft-prd → /draft-spec → /ingest-spec → /decompose → /push-to-tracker — and then rolls into /deliver, so the product goes from interview to delivering with the user touching only three things: interview answers, spec approvals, and parked decisions. Everything between the gates is autonomous; the judgment AT each gate stays human.

It completes the vision arc: /autopilot is the front half (idea → populated tracker), /deliver is the back half (tracker band → merged + Done), and /drive is the per-ticket gauntlet inside /deliver. All three ride native /goal; none self-loops.

This is a per-turn recipe — NOT a loop (ADR)

/autopilot does all it can in one invocation and then RETURNS. It MUST NOT self-loop: no sleep, no watch, no while true, no --follow, no gh pr checks --watch. Whenever the next step is a human gate (a spec to approve) or an asynchronous wait (CI), it reports the state and returns. The repeat-until-done engine is native /goal — run /autopilot and, once it hands off, pair the delivery with /goal "<product> delivered". /autopilot is the recipe; /goal is the engine. (This is the autopilot ADR — see spec/decisions / the native-/goal ADR.)

Precondition — a forge-initialized repo

The chain ends at /push-to-tracker, which needs .forge/settings.yaml with a tracker: block. So /autopilot requires a forge-initialized repo. If .forge/settings.yaml is absent, STOP and instruct the user to run forge init first — do NOT auto-run the interactive initializer.

Re-entrancy — resume from APPROVED-stage state, never from bare artifacts

Because /goal (or the user) re-invokes /autopilot across turns, it must resume from the furthest approved stage. The subtle trap: the chain skills write their artifact BEFORE their review gate passes (/forge writes spec/BRIEF.md then prints "Gate 1 — review the brief"; /draft-prd writes spec/PRD.md then "Gate 2"; /decompose writes plans/phases.yaml then "Gate 4"). So artifact existence ALONE must never skip a stage — that would resume PAST an unapproved spec and break the never-auto-approve guarantee.

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.

autopilot is a skill published in the GitHub repository firatcand/forge (13 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 2,671 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
