This Skill prevents autonomous development sessions from stopping too early, losing state, or drifting away from the original goal. It gives the agent a structured way to keep working until the real completion criteria are met.
Ask the autonomous skill to start a bounded development run for your goal with a task list, a completion condition, and a report topic so it can manage progress and stopping criteria for you.

To stop autonomous coding sessions from exiting early, enforce stateful task tracking with verified stop conditions. This approach uses per-topic state files and a stop hook to ensure the session remains active until genuine completion criteria are met.
A stop hook manages session state by intercepting exit signals and validating them against stored completion conditions. It prevents silent exits in long-running workflows by checking state files to determine if the autonomous task is genuinely complete or must resume.
Start a bounded development run by providing a goal, task list, duration, and completion condition. The session registers a report topic to send periodic progress updates and uses state files to manage resumable ownership across restarts.
Yes, autonomous sessions with restart recovery require tmux, python3, jq, curl, openssl, and claude. These dependencies support state file management, progress reporting, and the execution of setup and hook scripts for bounded development workflows.
Yes, you can resume an autonomous development workflow after a disconnect. The skill supports resumable long-running work by preserving ownership and session state in files, allowing the task to recover and continue towards its completion condition across restarts.
Avoid bounded execution for simple, interactive coding tasks that require immediate human feedback or lack clear completion criteria. It is designed for long-running, stateful development workflows needing emergency-stop handling and verified completion conditions.
