SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The rover automates end-to-end task execution for development and documentation work when the operator cannot or should not make every decision, reducing round-trip delays and ensuring deliverables meet predefined Done criteria before handoff.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Autonomous phase machine that cycles through SURVEY, DRIVE, INSPECT, STOW, and STANDBY to plan, implement, review, and finalize work without constant human prompts.
  • Decision and audit infrastructure: invokes a decision subsystem for choices, writes a decision audit trail, and requires a contrarian "pride" review as a hard gate before any artefact leaves the loop.
  • Cron-driven loop file logging and recovery: creates and maintains a loop file in .autonomous/, schedules a cron for iterative execution, and supports wake/stop controls and optional integrations like notifiers or review bots.

Quick Start

Invoke the rover with a mission description, a GitHub issue URL, or a loop file path, for example: /autonomous:rover "build the settings page".

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate code review and task execution for GitHub issues without manual prompts?

Autonomous task execution is handled by dispatching an agent to run SURVEY, DRIVE, INSPECT, STOW, and STANDBY cycles on a developer mission. You provide a mission brief via free-form text, a GitHub issue URL, or a loop file, and the agent independently plans, executes, and logs the work.

What is an autonomous coding agent loop and how does it ensure quality before handoff?

An autonomous coding agent loop cycles through planning and execution phases to complete development tasks independently. It ensures quality by applying plan-vs-dispatch checks, maintaining a decision audit trail, and requiring a contrarian pride review gate before any artifact leaves the loop.

How do I schedule recurring autonomous development tasks using cron?

Recurring autonomous development tasks are scheduled using cron-driven iteration. The agent creates and maintains a loop file in the .autonomous/ directory, schedules a cron job for iterative execution, and supports wake and stop controls for continuous task processing.

Can I use autonomous code generation for documentation workflows as well as code?

Autonomous code generation applies to both code and documentation workflows. The operator provides a mission brief, and the agent autonomously executes the required planning, implementation, and audit logging to meet predefined Done criteria before handoff.

What happens if an autonomous agent makes a bad decision during task execution?

Bad decisions during task execution are mitigated by a decision subsystem that writes an audit trail for every choice. The agent also enforces a contrarian pride review as a hard gate, ensuring deliverables are verified against plan-vs-dispatch checks before finalizing.

Do I need external dependencies to run an autonomous rover loop for developer tasks?

No external dependencies are required to run an autonomous rover loop for developer tasks. The agent operates independently, managing its own loop file logging and cron-driven iteration to deliver verified work based on the provided mission brief.
