interactive-vs-auto-execution

interactive-vs-auto-execution is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sillyDaibo/reasflow-dev. It costs 21 tokens per session (434 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for choosing between interactive work, which pauses for approval, and automatic work, which continues without waiting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before a domain workflow to identify approval points, state assumptions, and keep an audit trail when running automatically.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unattended tasks from making decisions that could change the scope, cost, outputs, or interpretation of the work.

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

interactive-vs-auto-execution 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 5d 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.

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.

Interactive Vs Auto Execution

Overview

Choose execution mode deliberately. Interactive runs pause at meaningful approval points; unattended runs keep moving with explicit assumptions and a clear audit trail.

Interactive Mode

  1. Stop when a choice would materially change scope, outputs, cost, or interpretation.
  2. Present the recommended default plus the alternatives that matter.
  3. Wait for confirmation before launching major downstream work.

Unattended Mode

  1. Continue only when the user explicitly asked not to wait or the current workflow says unattended execution is expected.
  2. Pick the safest reasonable default from the prompt, workspace, and prior artifacts.
  3. Record assumptions, default choices, and any follow-up checks needed in the handoff.

Domain Reminders

  • survey: lock topic framing, coverage axes, language, and outputs before full generation
  • intro: verify title, style, and source evidence before drafting claims
  • algorithm: surface ambiguous method choices before implementation and toy validation
  • experiment: pause for expensive or controversial protocols unless unattended execution was requested
  • paper: confirm template or chapter-map shifts before final assembly when a human is present

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.
