Automate repository maintenance by invoking an autonomous loop that audits existing code, executes justified tasks, and reviews outcomes until reaching a milestone or deadline. It requires explicit activation to ensure safe, auditable changes.

An autonomous code audit and execute loop is a detect-audit-execute-review cycle that assesses repo state, drift, and test gaps, then performs bounded maintenance work. It repeats until a milestone is reached, providing traceable outputs for every change.

Set up timeboxed maintenance cycles by explicitly invoking the loop with clear deadline options. The cycle audits the project, plans the next justified task, executes within the time box, and enforces stop conditions to prevent unbounded changes.

Autonomous maintenance loops work only on existing artifacts and do not support greenfield project bootstrapping. They are designed to audit and maintain current codebases, respecting safety checks and review gates throughout the process.

Autonomous repo maintenance requires structured review after each execution cycle to ensure safe, auditable changes. The loop operates with clear review gates, providing morning handoffs and traceable outputs for auditing the performed work.

Avoid using an autonomous workflow when you need greenfield project setup or unbounded execution without review gates. This approach requires explicit activation, existing artifacts, and structured timeboxing to ensure changes remain justified and auditable.
