nonstop

nonstop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Smirnov-Labs/claude-skills. It costs 101 tokens per session (1,824 once invoked), scanned C, a copy of nonstop, MIT.

A session mode for letting Claude continue working while the user is away. Before starting, it checks the task for blockers, risks, required access, and actions that may need approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for tasks that need continuous progress without repeatedly asking the user what to do next. Activate it with `/nonstop` or `/nonstop on`, and turn it off with `/nonstop off`.
Why use it?
It reduces pauses caused by unanswered questions during a long task. It also makes potential problems and dangerous operations explicit before unattended work begins.

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

nonstop scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (nonstop.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

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

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Nonstop Mode

A session-scoped autonomous work mode. When activated, Claude works continuously without stopping to ask the user, handling blockers intelligently.

Activation — /nonstop or /nonstop on

When the user triggers nonstop mode, start the pre-flight sequence immediately. Drop whatever else you are doing — do not wait for background agents, pending reads, or other in-progress work. The pre-flight is the priority now.

Complete the pre-flight before doing any work. The pre-flight exists because once the user walks away, there is no one to answer questions — every ambiguity must be resolved now.

Phase 1: Mental Simulation — Anticipate Every Blocker

Mentally simulate the entire execution path of the task from start to finish. This is not a generic checklist — it is a task-specific dry run.

How to think:

  1. Break the task into concrete steps (what will you actually do, in order?)
  2. For EACH step, imagine yourself executing it right now. Ask: "What could go wrong here? What would make me stop and ask the user?"
  3. Think about the environment: what machines, services, credentials, permissions does this touch?
  4. Think about dependencies between steps: if step 3 fails, can step 4 still run?
  5. Think about the edges: what if the test fails? what if the build takes 30 minutes? what if a file doesn't exist?

Surface to the user:

  • Anything that would make you stop and ask — surface it NOW
  • Ambiguous requirements where you'd need to make a judgment call — clarify NOW
  • Credentials, tokens, permissions you might need — confirm NOW
  • Decision points with multiple valid paths — pick one together NOW
  • External dependencies that might be slow or unavailable — plan a fallback NOW
  • Any step where you're not 100% sure how to proceed — ask NOW

The goal: after this phase, there should be ZERO reasons to stop and ask the user anything.

Present your findings as: "Here's what I plan to do [ordered list], and here's what might block me [list with proposed solutions]. Can you confirm/clarify these before you go?"

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.
