work-autonomously

work-autonomously is a skill for Claude Code from OdinMB/ops-workflow. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,703 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A rule set for coding commands and skills that run without waiting for the user. It records decisions, skipped work, questions, and follow-up items for later review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for background or batch tasks that should keep moving, record uncertain choices in a follow-up file, and make only local changes.
Why use it?
It lets unattended work continue while preserving places where human judgment is needed, and it prevents automatic deletion or remote pushes.

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

work-autonomously 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 today.

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 — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Autonomous Conventions

Rules for commands and skills that run without user input (e.g., /ops:get-to-work, /ops:batch-execute). The goal is to keep moving and defer human judgment to a structured follow-up review.

Core Rules

  1. Never stop for user input. Record questions and move on.
  2. Delete only what the list below allows. Record every other intended deletion under Files to Delete in the follow-up file.
  3. Never push to remote. Only local branches and commits.
  4. Commit with explicit pathspecs. Name the paths you changed on the commit itself: git add -- <path> <path> … (needed for new files, which a commit pathspec alone does not pick up), then git commit -m "<message>" -- <path> <path> …. Never git add -A, git add . or git commit -a, and never a bare git commit after staging: a plain commit takes the whole index, so it can sweep a parallel agent's or the user's half-finished work into your commit. Work out the paths from the agent's summary and git status.
  5. When uncertain, make a sensible choice and move on. Record your reasoning and alternatives in the follow-up file so the user can review. Only skip when the wrong choice could have truly bad consequences (data loss, security, breaking external contracts). Getting work done with transparent doubts beats a slightly lower chance of mistakes.
  6. No real-world actions (the list below).
  7. Goals and autopilot's files are the user's. Never change charter.md: a goal, audience or non-goal that looks wrong goes under User Input Needed. Where the repo's CLAUDE.md has an ## Autopilot section, never edit, move or delete state/autopilot.md or references/autopilot-policy.md either: they are autopilot's alone. Every other file is shared, and a run works in it by the usual rules.

Real-world actions an unattended run never takes

This is the one full list; agents and commands point here. Never:

  • Send emails, messages, or notifications
  • Submit forms, applications, or registrations
  • Post to social media or external platforms
  • Make API calls that modify external state
  • Make purchases or financial transactions
  • Contact anyone on behalf of the user

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.

work-autonomously is a skill published in the GitHub repository OdinMB/ops-workflow (7 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 1,703 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
