SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Autonomous agents and unattended workflows can take unsafe or irreversible actions without clear, project-aware guardrails; this Skill provides structured risk classification and allow/deny policy composition to prevent dangerous or unexpected changes during hands-off operation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-action risk classification: Evaluate every proposed action with a structured verdict including reasoning and a binary allow/block decision.
  • Allow/Deny rule composition: Maintain conservative defaults for safe behavior while permitting project-specific overrides for read-only tasks, builds, and non-destructive edits.
  • Pacing and focus-aware autonomy: Tick-based execution, adaptive sleep durations, and different behavior when the user is focused versus away to avoid token waste and unnecessary prompts.
  • Use Case: Run an autonomous code maintenance agent that reads tests, runs builds, commits non-destructive changes, and requests confirmation for pushes, destructive shell commands, or database mutations.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to run in safe-autonomous-mode and classify each proposed shell, git, and file-modifying action before execution so it blocks ambiguous or high-risk operations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent autonomous AI agents from running unsafe git operations or shell commands?

To prevent unsafe git operations and shell commands, you need per-action risk classification with conservative default-block policies. This evaluates every proposed action with a binary allow/block decision and structured reasoning before execution during unattended workflows.

What is per-action risk classification for autonomous codebase operations?

Per-action risk classification for autonomous codebase operations evaluates every proposed file change, shell command, and network access with a structured verdict. It provides reasoning and a binary allow/block decision to enforce safe allow/deny policies during unattended workflows.

How do I configure allow/deny rules for unattended code maintenance agents?

Configuring allow/deny rules for unattended code maintenance agents involves maintaining conservative defaults for safe behavior while permitting project-specific overrides. This allows read-only tasks, builds, and non-destructive edits while blocking destructive commands and database mutations.

Can I run autonomous agents safely without wasting tokens when the user is away?

You can run autonomous agents safely without wasting tokens by using pacing and focus-aware autonomy. This provides tick-based execution, adaptive sleep durations, and different behavior thresholds when the user is focused versus away to avoid unnecessary prompts.

What's the best way to block destructive shell commands in semi-autonomous workflows?

The best way to block destructive shell commands in semi-autonomous workflows is applying rule-driven allow/deny policy composition with conservative default-block behavior. This requires per-action risk classification to request confirmation for pushes, destructive commands, or database mutations.

When should I not use default-block behavior for autonomous operations?

You should not use default-block behavior for autonomous operations when performing trusted, non-destructive project tasks like read-only operations, builds, and safe edits. Project-specific overrides can be configured to permit these actions while maintaining guardrails for high-risk changes.
