Autopilot Skill

Full autonomous execution from idea to working code.

Overview

Autopilot is the ultimate hands-off mode. Give it a brief product idea (2-3 lines) and it handles everything:

1. Understands your requirements (Analyst)
2. Designs the technical approach (Architect)
3. Plans the implementation (Critic-validated)
4. Builds with parallel agents (Ralph + Ultrawork)
5. Tests until everything passes (UltraQA)
6. Validates quality and security (Multi-architect review)

Usage

/autopilot <your idea>
/ap "A CLI tool that tracks daily habits"
/autopilot Add dark mode to the app

Magic Keywords

These phrases auto-activate autopilot:

• "autopilot", "auto pilot", "autonomous"
• "build me", "create me", "make me"
• "full auto", "handle it all"
• "I want a/an..."

Phases

Phase 0: Expansion

Goal: Turn vague idea into detailed spec

Agents:

• Analyst (Opus) - Extract requirements
• Architect (Opus) - Technical specification

Output: .omc/autopilot/spec.md

Phase 1: Planning

Goal: Create implementation plan from spec

Agents:

• Architect (Opus) - Create plan (direct mode, no interview)
• Critic (Opus) - Validate plan

Output: .omc/plans/autopilot-impl.md

Phase 2: Execution

Goal: Implement the plan

Mode: Ralph + Ultrawork (persistence + parallelism)

Agents:

• Executor-low (Haiku) - Simple tasks
• Executor (Sonnet) - Standard tasks
• Executor-high (Opus) - Complex tasks

Phase 3: QA

Goal: All tests pass

Mode: UltraQA

Cycle:

1. Build
2. Lint
3. Test
4. Fix failures
5. Repeat (max 5 cycles)

Phase 4: Validation

Goal: Multi-perspective approval

Agents (parallel):

• Architect - Functional completeness
• Security-reviewer - Vulnerability check
• Code-reviewer - Quality review

Rule: All must APPROVE or issues get fixed and re-validated.

Configuration

Optional settings in .claude/settings.json:

{
  "omc": {
    "autopilot": {
      "maxIterations": 10,
      "maxQaCycles": 5,
      "maxValidationRounds": 3,
      "pauseAfterExpansion": false,
      "pauseAfterPlanning": false,
      "skipQa": false,
      "skipValidation": false
    }
  }
}

Cancellation

/cancel-autopilot

Or say: "stop", "cancel", "abort"

Progress is preserved for resume.

Resume

If autopilot was cancelled or failed, just run /autopilot again to resume from where it stopped.

Examples

New Project:

/autopilot A REST API for a bookstore inventory with CRUD operations

Feature Addition:

/autopilot Add user authentication with JWT tokens

Enhancement:

/ap Add dark mode support with system preference detection

Best Practices

1. Be specific about the domain - "bookstore" not "store"
2. Mention key features - "with CRUD", "with authentication"
3. Specify constraints - "using TypeScript", "with PostgreSQL"
4. Let it run - Don't interrupt unless truly needed

Troubleshooting

Stuck in a phase?

• Check TODO list for blocked tasks
• Review .omc/autopilot-state.json for state
• Cancel and resume if needed

Validation keeps failing?

• Review the specific issues
• Consider if requirements were too vague
• Cancel and provide more detail

QA cycles exhausted?

• Same error 3 times = fundamental issue
• Review the error pattern
• May need manual intervention
