An execution mode that takes a larger coding request through understanding, planning, implementation, testing, and review.

Use it for new features, complete user stories, and complex refactoring. It is not intended for tiny fixes or debugging sessions where you want close control.

It reduces the need to direct every small step of a multi-file feature or refactoring job.

Per session 0 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

When invoked 445 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00445
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00178
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00089
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00044

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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Autopilot Skill

Autonomous execution mode for building features end-to-end.

When to Use

Building new features from scratch
Implementing complete user stories
Complex refactoring across multiple files
Any task that benefits from systematic planning

When NOT to Use

Simple one-line fixes
Quick typo corrections
Tasks where user wants step-by-step control
Debugging sessions (use direct interaction)

Workflow

1. UNDERSTAND
   - Parse the request completely
   - Identify acceptance criteria
   - List unknowns and assumptions

2. PLAN
   - Break into atomic tasks
   - Identify file dependencies
   - Estimate complexity per task
   - Save plan to .codex/plans/{task-id}.md

3. EXECUTE
   - Work through tasks sequentially
   - Commit after each logical unit
   - Log progress to .codex/sessions/

4. VERIFY
   - Run tests if available
   - Check against acceptance criteria
   - Self-review for obvious issues

5. ITERATE
   - If verification fails, fix and re-verify
   - Max 3 self-fix attempts before asking user

Plan Template

# Task: {title}

## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] {criterion 1}
- [ ] {criterion 2}

## Tasks
1. {task 1} - {file(s)} - {complexity: S/M/L}
2. {task 2} - {file(s)} - {complexity: S/M/L}

## Dependencies
- {task 2} depends on {task 1}

## Risks
- {potential issue}

Types: feat, fix, refactor, docs, test, chore

Examples

Good trigger:

"autopilot: build a user authentication system with JWT"

Bad trigger (use direct instead):

"fix the typo in README"

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.

autopilot is a skill published in the GitHub repository junghwaYang/oh-my-codex (5 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 445 tokens. 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.
