session-autonomous

session-autonomous is a skill for Claude Code from Marcel-Bich/marcel-bich-claude-marketplace. It costs 342 tokens per session (12,320 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session policy for letting a coding agent work on approved tasks while you are away. It controls autonomous mode, session keep-alives, spending limits, notifications, and clean shutdown.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when handing off approved coding tasks for autonomous or AFK work, including keeping the session active and notifying you when work ends.
Why use it?
It defines what the agent may do during unattended work and prevents it from running beyond the approved mode or budget.

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

session-autonomous 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 7d 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.

session-autonomous - work approved GO items unattended

A credo session runs in exactly one mode - active, passive, or autonomous - set by the /credo:session-* commands and surfaced on every prompt by the session-mode inject line. This skill is the umbrella for autonomous mode: the user is away, you work approved GO items on your own, keep the session alive, respect the budget caps, notify via ntfy, and hibernate cleanly at the end. It is the dach / umbrella over the credo building blocks - it wires them together and adds the unattended-run machinery, and it duplicates none of their content.

Autonomous mode is only in force while the autonomy flag credo-autonomy-active is set - which is what the /credo:session-autonomous command sets (and it lifts the credo-autonomy-paused opt-out). If that flag is not set, do not run the keep-alive or hibernate behavior below.

Bootstrap - enter the mode only on an unambiguous grant

This skill may LOAD on a full-autonomy / AFK-handoff intent, but entering autonomous mode requires an unambiguous, explicit user grant. If this skill loaded because the user just handed off full-autonomy / unattended / AFK work and the mode is NOT yet set (no credo-autonomy-active flag), FIRST enter autonomous mode by running /credo:session-autonomous. That command runs session-mode-set.sh autonomous, sets the flag, and activates the rules below - which resolves the chicken-and-egg problem of needing the mode set before this skill's keep-alive can apply. Then follow the rules below. If the mode is already autonomous, skip this and continue.

Do NOT enter autonomous mode on a vague or casual signal (for example a bare "keep going", "carry on", "work on this"); only on an unambiguous full-autonomy / AFK grant such as "run this unattended", "go fully autonomous", or a clear AFK handoff. If unsure whether the user really wants unattended autonomy, stay in normal (non-autonomous) collaboration and confirm with the user first rather than setting the flag. A user who never asks for autonomy is never put into autonomous mode.
