autopilot

autopilot is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from momentmaker/kaijutsu. It costs 101 tokens per session (2,376 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An automated development workflow that turns a plain-language outcome into a pull request, a proposed set of code changes for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
It can start, resume, stop, or report on a pipeline that brainstorms an idea, writes a specification, plans and builds the change, and prepares it for GitHub review.
Why use it?
It coordinates the stages of development and adds review checkpoints, reducing the need to manage brainstorming, specifications, planning, implementation, and delivery separately.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 184 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

autopilot v2 — Intent → PR pipeline

Take a natural-language intent and run the full development pipeline to a polished PR. Two gates total: brainstorm approval (Gate 1) + PR review on GitHub (Gate 2 — the existing PR semantics). Multi-agent adversarial review replaces the single-reviewer model from v1.

NOTE: kaijutsu-managed. Re-running jutsu install autopilot overwrites this file. The previous v1 SKILL.md (if any) is preserved at ~/.claude/skills/autopilot/.archived/SKILL.md.

Command Detection

  • /autopilot {intent}Run mode (start new pipeline)
  • /autopilot resumeResume mode (continue interrupted run)
  • /autopilot abortAbort mode (clean up + stop)
  • /autopilot statusStatus mode (show current phase)

CLI equivalents: jutsu autopilot {init,status,abort,resume,run}. Use the slash command for interactive runs; the cobra group is for scripted use + CI test mode.

Phase Map

/autopilot {intent}
  → Phase 1: BRAINSTORM (interactive — anti-sycophancy via jutsu swarm dream)
  → ★ GATE 1 (configurable: skip | review) ★
  → Phase 2: SPEC
      → write spec to docs/specs/<date>-<slug>.md
      → swarm doc-review on spec [report-only]
      → record approved-spec path in state file
  → Phase 3: PLAN
      → write plan to IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md
      → swarm doc-review on plan [report-only]
  → Phase 4: BUILD (stage 1..N — each followed by polish loop)
  → Phase 5: SHIP
      → final swarm pr-review (full lens)
      → reverse-drift gate (informational, tagged on PR)
      → gh pr create  (or test-mode: write planned PR JSON)
  → ★ GATE 2 = PR review on GitHub ★
  → Phase 6: LEARN (state file, findings.db, MEMORY.md)

Cost Cap

Three layers (per spec Decision #3):

  1. Soft cap — config default $20 (overridable via .kaijutsu/autopilot.yaml::cost.max_total_usd); at 50% of soft cap, autopilot pauses + asks user to confirm continue.
  2. Hard ceilingMaxAutopilotCostUSD = $100 constant in cli/internal/cli/autopilot.go. Cannot be raised by editing yaml. Per-run override via --max-cost N works only up to ceiling.
  3. Per-shell ceiling override — set KAIJUTSU_AUTOPILOT_HARD_CAP_OVERRIDE=N in your shell environment to raise the ceiling for THIS shell. Not stored in repo. Defense against malicious yaml.

What ships with it

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 momentmaker/kaijutsu (3 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 101 tokens to every session and 2,376 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
