SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The nonstop Skill keeps Claude working through a multi-step task even when the user goes AFK, preventing premature termination at the end of a turn.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Arms a Stop-hook “nonstop mode”: Enables a user-controlled loop where Claude receives nudge events instead of stopping, ideal for long task lists.
  • Supports on/off/status controls: Handles nonstop activation, deactivation, and progress visibility so users can safely manage unattended work.
  • Enforces a guardrailed decision loop: Prioritizes early ambiguity resolution, safe fallback strategies, and background handling for long-running operations.

Quick Start

Tell your AI to run nonstop mode so it continues executing your task list while you’re away, by replying: “/nonstop”.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep an AI agent working autonomously on a long task list after I go AFK?

To keep an AI agent working autonomously after you go AFK, you arm a stop-hook that intercepts turn termination events and nudges the agent to continue executing the task list. This enforces continuous progress across multi-step phases like planning and implementation.

How does a stop-hook loop prevent an AI agent from stopping prematurely during multi-step workflows?

A stop-hook loop prevents premature stopping by catching the agent's end-of-turn signal and issuing a nudge event instead of terminating. This guardrailed mechanism resolves ambiguity early and applies fallback strategies for blocked operations, keeping the workflow active.

Can I safely arm and disarm autonomous workflow execution for unattended background tasks?

Yes, you can safely arm and disarm autonomous workflow execution using local hook flag files. These files control the stop-hook state, allowing you to activate nonstop mode, check execution status, and safely deactivate the loop when unattended work is complete.

What happens when an autonomous agent encounters a blocked or failing operation during nonstop execution?

When an autonomous agent encounters a blocked or failing operation during nonstop execution, the guardrailed decision loop enforces safe fallback strategies. It prioritizes early ambiguity resolution and uses background handling to manage long-running operations without terminating the turn.

Do I need pre-flight validation before starting hands-free task list execution?

Yes, safe pre-flight validation is required before starting hands-free task list execution. This validation checks the environment and task parameters prior to arming the stop-hook, ensuring the autonomous workflow can proceed securely without immediate failures.

How do I check the progress of an AFK mode workflow once it has been activated?

To check the progress of an AFK mode workflow, you use the status control command to query the active stop-hook state. This provides visibility into the current execution phase, allowing you to monitor unattended work without interrupting the autonomous loop.
