agentic-sdlc-autonomy

agentic-sdlc-autonomy is a skill for Claude Code from ivegamsft/basecoat. It costs 91 tokens per session (627 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A rules-based framework for deciding how much autonomy an agent may have when operating a software repository. It classifies changes by risk and sets paths for checks, automatic merging, staging actions, or human approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess repository governance, classify pull-request risk, check merge and deployment policies, and review autonomy controls.
Why use it?
It prevents high-risk changes such as production database migrations or protection-setting changes from being treated like routine edits. It also helps reveal gaps between written policy and repository settings.

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

agentic-sdlc-autonomy 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/classify_pr_risk.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Agentic SDLC Autonomy Skill

Rules-based autonomy model: agents execute throughput, CI verifies, policy classifies risk, and humans approve irreversible changes.

When to Use

  • Auditing repo governance posture against A0-A5 autonomy levels
  • Scoring maturity for branch protection, merge queue, deployment lanes, DB/IaC controls, and runner isolation
  • Classifying PR risk and routing to auto-merge or human approval
  • Detecting policy-versus-settings drift

Autonomy and Risk Model

Band Meaning Typical path
A0-A1 Observe and safe edits docs/tests/lint and non-runtime refactors
A2-A3 Bounded change and auto-merge eligible app/package changes with required checks
A4 Non-prod execution eligible preview/staging actions when policy allows
A5 Human-gated only prod cutover, prod DB migration, IaC apply, secrets/auth/protection changes

Risk mapping: low (A1-A3), medium (A2-A4), high (A5), and critical (plan-first plus A5).

For risk path/keyword rules see references/autonomy_policy.md. For PR risk classification script see scripts/classify_pr_risk.py. For output templates see references/report_templates.md.

Modes and Output

  1. Audit — evidence-based posture review. Output: summary, drift table, risk register.
  2. Measure — 0-5 governance scorecard with queue metrics. Output: score and gap list.
  3. Implement — phased policy/workflow/script changes, report-only first. Output: plan and rollback path.
  4. Operate — PR risk classification and routing. Output: risk level, autonomy level, decision, and labels.

Files

What ships with it

4 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.
