auto

auto is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Q00/ouroboros. It costs 13 tokens per session (4,790 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that runs a complete automated workflow from a task description to a finished result. It is designed to move through planning, execution, and quality checks automatically.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start an automated task, resume an existing one, skip its run step, or request a complete product workflow.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to coordinate each stage of a larger task by hand.

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

auto 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 yesterday.

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

/ouroboros:auto

Run the full-quality auto pipeline from a single task description.

Dispatch requirement

This skill must be executed by invoking MCP tool ouroboros_start_auto. Do not manually inspect repositories, run shell commands, query GitHub, edit files, or otherwise emulate the auto pipeline as a substitute. Full auto runs routinely exceed interactive MCP tool-call timeouts, so the background starter is the supported default: it returns job_id and auto_session_id quickly. Retain both. When response.meta.job_observer is present, delegate its read-only wait/result contract to exactly one independent child session. The main session keeps only start and explicit on-demand status responsibility.

If ouroboros_start_auto is unavailable, or if any required job polling/result MCP tool is unavailable, stop and report that the required MCP tool is unavailable. A manual fallback is not an ooo auto run.

If a started auto job later returns detached, blocked, failed, or another auto-session status, report that auto-session status and the tool's blocker. detached is non-terminal tracked background work; surface the job/Ralph handles and keep observing them through the same owner. Do not label a blocked or failed outcome as MCP dispatch failure; dispatch failure means the MCP tool could not be invoked.

If the active runtime routes ooo auto through a background starter such as ouroboros_start_auto, do not stop after returning the job_id. Keep ownership of the conversational UX: retain the returned job_id, auto_session_id, and cursor, then delegate monitoring when the host supports child sessions. Only the fallback path monitors with ouroboros_job_wait / ouroboros_job_status in the main session. The user should not have to poll the job manually.

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.

auto is a skill published in the GitHub repository Q00/ouroboros (5,765 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 4,790 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
