SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Autonomous long-running iteration for Codex CLI that orchestrates planning, execution, verification, and logging of iterative improvements toward measurable goals. It enables unattended overnight runs, persistent state, and cross-run learning to improve codebases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Autonomous loop execution across modes (loop, plan, debug, fix, security, ship, exec) with resume and pivot capabilities.
  • Structured state and artifact management including baseline, logs, and lessons for cross-run learning.
  • Wizard-guided interactive startup plus optional background runtime, with support for companion repos and multi-repo scopes.

Quick Start

Start Codex and describe your goal in plain language to begin the autonomous loop.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate goal-driven experimentation with Codex CLI overnight?

Automated Codex experimentation orchestrates planning, execution, verification, and logging of iterative improvements toward measurable goals, enabling unattended overnight runs with persistent state and automatic resume capabilities.

What is autonomous long-running iteration for Codex and how does it work?

Autonomous long-running iteration applies structured state and artifact management to execute iterative improvements across modes like loop, plan, debug, fix, and security, verifying progress through repeatable shell commands and deterministic guards.

How do I start an autonomous loop execution for coding tasks?

Start Codex and describe your goal in plain language to begin the autonomous loop, using the wizard-guided interactive startup to configure modes, structured acceptance criteria, and optional background runtime.

Can I resume an interrupted Codex automation run or pivot to a new approach?

Yes, the autonomous loop supports automatic resume and pivot handling, allowing interrupted runs to continue from their last verified state and enabling cross-run learning to improve codebases over time.

Does autonomous Codex experimentation support multi-repo scopes and companion repositories?

Yes, the framework supports companion repos and multi-repo scopes, managing structured state including baselines, logs, and lessons to track artifact state across all included repositories during execution.

What are the limitations of unattended Codex automation loops?

Verification relies on repeatable shell commands and deterministic guards, meaning non-deterministic tasks or goals lacking measurable outcomes may not produce reliable progress tracking for overnight runs.
