autonomous-agent-harness

autonomous-agent-harness is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nklofy/code-agent-skills. It costs 79 tokens per session (2,270 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of autonomous-agent-harness, Apache-2.0.

A setup for running Claude Code as a persistent agent that can remember context, perform scheduled work, use a computer, and manage queued tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design recurring workflows, monitoring jobs, task queues, persistent memory, or computer-controlled operations, with explicit approval for those actions.
Why use it?
It helps with work that must continue across sessions or start automatically on a schedule.

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-agent-harness scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Autonomous Agent Harness

Turn Claude Code into a persistent, self-directing agent system using only native features and MCP servers.

Autonomous operation must be explicitly requested and scoped by the user. Do not create schedules, dispatch remote agents, write persistent memory, use computer control, post externally, modify third-party resources, or act on private communications unless the user has approved that capability and the target workspace for the current setup.

Prefer dry-run plans and local queue files before enabling recurring or event-driven actions. Keep credentials, private workspace exports, personal datasets, and account-specific automations out of reusable ECC artifacts.

When to Activate

  • User wants an agent that runs continuously or on a schedule
  • Setting up automated workflows that trigger periodically
  • Building a personal AI assistant that remembers context across sessions
  • User says "run this every day", "check on this regularly", "keep monitoring"
  • Wants to replicate functionality from Hermes, AutoGPT, or similar autonomous agent frameworks
  • Needs computer use combined with scheduled execution

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.
