autonomous-drive

autonomous-drive is a skill for Claude Code from jeet129/praxis. It costs 158 tokens per session (3,722 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A controlled work loop for an autonomous delivery session: read the task ledger, complete one eligible task, run its verification, and decide whether the session must stop.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting or resuming a drive session, deciding whether a task can proceed, or closing a completed slice and moving to the next one.
Why use it?
It limits unattended work to clearly tracked tasks and ensures each iteration respects approval, verification, and stop rules.

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

autonomous-drive 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.

Autonomous Drive

capability: orchestration
domain: cross-cutting
state: experimental
dependencies:
  - using-praxis
  - adaptive-model-routing
  - definition-of-done
triggers:
  - "starting or resuming a drive session"
  - "what does one drive iteration do?"
  - "slice is draining — run the gate reviewers and close it"
  - "deciding whether a stop_flag must be raised this iteration"
  - "cross-slice continuation after a gate close"
outputs:
  - updated task ledger (.project/working/slice-<id>-tasks.yaml)
  - slice-close summary (.project/telemetry/summaries/slice-<id>-summary.md)
  - stop_flags (drive runner contract)
  - model-routing log entries (per task)
consumers:
  - delivery-lead (primary — executes this protocol every drive iteration)
  - scripts/praxis-drive.sh (the unattended runner; enforces caps this SKILL cannot)
references:
  - loop-contracts.md
  - phase-gates.md

One iteration, one task. This SKILL is what the Delivery Lead runs inside a drive session — the autonomy dial (.project/governance/autonomy.yaml when the project carries an override, else the plugin's governance/autonomy.yaml) sets how often a human is consulted; this SKILL is what happens between those touchpoints. No contract, no loop: every claim here traces back to references/loop-contracts.md.

When this SKILL fires

  • A drive session starts or resumes (/drive, or scripts/praxis-drive.sh invoking the harness with the drive prompt).
  • The Delivery Lead needs to decide what a single iteration does before exiting.
  • A slice's tasks are all done and the slice needs to drain through its gates.
  • A stop_flags decision must be made — is this a decision point, a gate, or genuinely clear to continue?

One iteration = one task

Each drive iteration is a fresh-context invocation with a constant prompt — deliberately constant: identical prefixes are served from the harness prompt cache, keeping fresh contexts cheap. Keep the prompt stable; volatile ledger state lives in the files it reads, never in the prompt. Within it:

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.

autonomous-drive is a skill published in the GitHub repository jeet129/praxis (7 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 158 tokens to every session and 3,722 once invoked, about $0.0008 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 2026-08-31.
