SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of manual, repetitive task management by enabling an autonomous agent to execute a full task graph without human intervention, ensuring work continues even when you are offline.

Core Features & Use Cases

Autonomous Task Loop: Automatically claims, implements, reviews, and hands off tasks based on a defined graph.
Crash-Resumable State: Maintains a durable run-state that allows the process to recover from crashes or pauses exactly where it left off.
Safety Guardrails: Implements pre-flight checks, budget monitoring, and a run doctor to ensure tasks are executed safely and within defined resource bounds.

Quick Start

Launch the auto-pilot skill on your current project to begin an unattended autonomous work session.

FAQPage Schema

How do I execute complex task graphs autonomously without manual intervention?▼

Autonomous task execution uses a durable run-state to recover workflows exactly where they left off after crashes. This crash-resumable logic maintains state tracking for unattended workflows, ensuring safe, non-interactive operation without losing progress.

Does autonomous task execution work with Linear projects and plan-with-docs directories?▼

Safety guardrails for unattended workflows include pre-flight checks, budget monitoring, and a run doctor. These mechanisms ensure tasks are executed safely within defined resource bounds during autonomous task execution.

What do I need to set up before running unattended workflows for task management?▼

Running unattended workflows requires a configured environment with appropriate credentials and a validated task graph. This setup ensures safe, non-interactive operation for executing complex task graphs autonomously in an isolated worktree.

What are the limitations of autonomous task orchestration in an isolated worktree?▼

Limitations of autonomous task orchestration include the requirement for a validated task graph and a fully configured environment. Without appropriate credentials and pre-flight checks, the system cannot ensure safe, non-interactive operation within defined resource bounds.
