SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents an AI coding agent from stopping early or returning incomplete, unverified work by enforcing an autonomous execute-and-verify mode when the user is ready to act.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Autonomous execution mode: Switches the agent into uninterrupted build, test, verify, and deliver behavior after an explicit engage signal.
  • Proof-of-work enforcement: Requires concrete verification evidence (tests, build, runtime checks) before declaring completion.
  • Safety guardrails for scope and quality: Prohibits questions, early exits, and hand-waving while still allowing stops only for catastrophic unrecoverable blockers.

Example use case: You have an implementation plan for a software change and want the agent to complete the work end-to-end—without further clarification—while producing verifiable results you can inspect.

Quick Start

Tell your agent: Engage and execute the plan end-to-end with build and test verification, then deliver the verified outcome.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stop an AI coding agent from stopping early or returning unverified work?

To stop an AI coding agent from stopping early, you must enforce an autonomous execute-and-verify mode. This requires the agent to produce concrete verification evidence, like passing build and test checks, before declaring any software delivery task complete.

What is proof of work in autonomous software execution?

Proof of work in autonomous software execution is mandatory evidence that an agent completed its planned tasks. It requires running concrete quality gates, such as build and runtime checks, and reporting verifiable success artifacts before finishing the workflow.

How do I execute an implementation plan end-to-end without further clarification?

To execute an implementation plan end-to-end, you provide an explicit engage signal to freeze clarification requests. This switches the agent into an uninterrupted build, test, and verify mode that follows the plan-defined scope and delivers the verified outcome.

Can an autonomous agent stop execution if it hits a catastrophic unrecoverable blocker?

An autonomous agent can stop execution if it hits a catastrophic unrecoverable blocker. Safety guardrails allow stops for these severe issues while prohibiting early exits, hand-waving, and unnecessary questions during the software delivery workflow.

Does autonomous plan execution work without a predefined software delivery plan?

Autonomous plan execution does not work without a predefined software delivery plan. The process strictly requires an existing planning state to convert into an execution workflow, ensuring the agent follows a plan-defined scope to produce verifiable results.
