autopilot

autopilot is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PresentJay/autopilot-skills. It costs 161 tokens per session (5,975 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

An autonomous task runner that repeatedly discovers work, plans changes, carries them out, checks the results, and learns from them until you stop it. You define the mission and its safety limits first.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for ongoing code maintenance, documentation cleanup, research synthesis, or operational checks. It is suited to work that benefits from repeated discover-to-verify cycles.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually restart and coordinate long-running agent tasks. It also keeps a record of progress and can recover after interruptions.

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 C, and why

autopilot scanned grade C with 2 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 6d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- destructive flags: `--force`, `--no-verify`, `git reset --hard`, `rm -rf` outside allow paths

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 453 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Autopilot — Self-driving mission runner

You receive a mission from the user and run an autonomous loop until they tell you to stop. The domain is whatever the user defines in the mission file — code self-improvement, doc grooming, research synthesis, ops sweeps, anything that benefits from a tight discover→execute→learn cadence.

This skill replaces ad-hoc loops (ralph-loop, improve-airops) with a domain-agnostic orchestrator: per-project mission, mission-bound governance, idle-aware self-pacing via ScheduleWakeup, immutable milestone trail, self-healing on interruption, and opt-in update notifications.

Boot check

First action on every invocation: locate the mission file.

  • Default path: <repo-root>/.autopilot.log/mission.md.
  • Fallbacks (legacy / migration): <repo-root>/.claude/autopilot/mission.md. If found, offer migration to default path on first run.
  • Outside a git repo: ~/.claude/autopilot/<session-id>/mission.md.

Decision:

  • Missing → run "Boot interview" below.
  • Exists, user explicitly says "new mission" / "reset" / "redo" → back up to mission.md.bak.<timestamp>, run interview again.
  • Exists, normal call or /autopilot resume / /autopilot heal / /autopilot status → enter "Phase 0.5 — Resume + update check", then "Operating cycle".

User signals

Signal Effect
/autopilot Auto-detect stale state, then run a cycle (or no-op if mission complete)
/autopilot resume Force Mode: pausedactive, run a cycle
/autopilot heal Force interruption recovery (clean working branch, mark crashed cycle, start fresh)
/autopilot status Print current state from state.json + last journal entry (includes installed version line); do not run a cycle
/autopilot version (or --version, -v) Print installed version from frontmatter, latest available from GitHub releases (cached), source URL; do not run a cycle
/autopilot stop / "멈춰" / "pause" Set Mode: paused, no ScheduleWakeup
/autopilot quick mission="X" (or /autopilot --quick) All Q's default-pre-filled, single confirm — new in v1.3.0
/autopilot mission="X" risk=L2 cadence=15m ... Args parsed into Q1–Q10 pre-fills

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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 PresentJay/autopilot-skills (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 161 tokens to every session and 5,975 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
