2 things to look at

  • 27 days oldThe repository was created 27 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
  • 2 stars2 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Use for a large, open-ended mission that must survive sessions/crashes and run user-out-of-loop until STOP; delegates lifecycle work to other skills. Not for pre-scoped delivery that stops at a PR gate; use orchestrate's autonomous mode or deliver.

Autopilot

A thin autonomous conductor for large missions: autonomous scoping, self-drive, durable cross-session state/recovery, and a hard user STOP gate. It owns no lifecycle machinery itself; it delegates every bounded wave to orchestrate and every decision/software change to implement/deliver, then records the durable pointers. See Entry gate below for when to use this tier instead of orchestrate, implement or diagnose.

It is higher-authority than orchestrate's pre-scoped autonomous-implementation mode, which stops at a user PR gate; autopilot keeps going until a user writes STATUS: STOP.

Claude Code and Codex are equal operators; Codex operators read codex-operator.md first.

Entry gate

Needs all of: an open-ended mission too large for one bounded wave, a survivable-crash requirement, and an explicit user STOP gate as the only clean exit; otherwise use a lighter-weight skill.

Bootstrap

  1. Run scripts/bootstrap-autopilot.sh <mission-id>, fill every CONFIG KNOB, then rerun to substitute/validate. See state-contract.md for the file set and .agent-run/<mission-id>/ location.
  2. Use orchestrate for every bounded wave: it owns topology, provider routing, Agent Fabric transport, the review ladder and degradation. Delegate decisions/software change to implement/deliver and record the returned route/result in QUEUE.md.
  3. Operate one iteration at a time after reading operating-loop.md, state-contract.md, GOAL.md, STATE.md, QUEUE.md's head. Keep one conductor lease.
  4. Interactive missions use Herdr and record owned panes. External-driver-only missions record HERDR-NOT-USED: external driver; filesystem state is authoritative in STATE.md.

Bootstrap authorises only mission-declared isolation. The constitution pre-authorises source-repo implementation branches and worktrees, created via ${AGENTS_HOME:-$HOME/.agents}/scripts/worktree; deletion beyond post-merge pruning, integration and shared-branch pushes stay gated.

Operating loop

Run RECONCILE -> READ -> SELECT -> DISPATCH -> RECORD -> PROPAGATE -> REORG-if-due -> STATE -> WAKE/STOP. Flip a QUEUE.md row to LEASED before launch. Delegate deep work; fan out independent contexts and serialise shared state. Bound retries; escalate stalls with evidence. An empty queue triggers one bounded re-enumeration pass, then an idle checkpoint and paused dispatch; only user STOP closes the mission. See operating-loop.md and recovery-and-cadence.md for detail.

Evidence and closure

STATE.md holds current recovery truth; QUEUE.md is the durable work queue and item-lease ledger. Durable decisions are delegated, not forked here; see state-contract.md.

Cleanup must classify first: never delete unknown files; prune only mission-owned, manifest-classified ephemeral payload with no live reference. STOP requires GOAL/STATE/HANDOFF agreement and reconciled, closed work; see recovery-and-cadence.md for the closure protocol.
