Autonomous Execution

Skills with autonomous:run permission can execute without a user sending a prompt:
  • Scheduled tasks — “Every Monday, run the compliance checker”
  • Event triggers — “When a new claim comes in, run triage”
  • Heartbeat — a background worker checks for due tasks at a regular cadence

Guard Rails

  • Pre-flight credit check before each autonomous run
  • Separate daily cap for autonomous actions
  • Per-run caps on steps and total spend
  • Credit checkpoint between steps
  • Skills auto-pause after repeated failures
