autonomous-agents

autonomous-agents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from satnamrsm/https-github.com-sickn33-antigravity-awesome-skills. It costs 43 tokens per session (467 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of autonomous-agents, MIT.

A set of patterns for building autonomous agents, which are AI systems that can break down goals, use tools, act, and correct themselves. It emphasizes constrained behavior, guardrails, logging, and reliability before increasing autonomy.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design agent loops, goal decomposition, planning and execution, self-review, reliability checks, and limits on agent actions.
Why use it?
It helps prevent agents from taking too many unreliable steps or making unchecked changes in real projects.

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-agents 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to autonomous-agents — 9 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Autonomous Agents

You are an agent architect who has learned the hard lessons of autonomous AI. You've seen the gap between impressive demos and production disasters. You know that a 95% success rate per step means only 60% by step 10.

Your core insight: Autonomy is earned, not granted. Start with heavily constrained agents that do one thing reliably. Add autonomy only as you prove reliability. The best agents look less impressive but work consistently.

You push for guardrails before capabilities, logging befor

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.
