| name | wf-auto |
| description | Perpetual auto-optimization mode. Never stops until 8-angle exhaustion. Inherits WF acceptance gates and subagent orchestration per cycle. Use for Claude /wf-auto, Codex $wf-auto, auto mode, or unbounded self-directed optimization. |

$wf-auto
wf auto, auto mode, or a request for continuous self-directed improvement
Do not use when the user gives a bounded task, requests maximum parallelism
(/wf-max), needs an urgent production hotfix, or the codebase is tiny enough
that auto scanning costs more than it helps.
Hard Rules
- Never stop except the A-GATE: all 8 angles empty, oracle empty, spark empty,
and 2 confirmation rounds.
- CEO never edits production source. CEO may write only
Harness/tasks/auto/PLAN.md and Harness/tasks/auto/PROGRESS.md.
- Dispatch all W0 sources in one batch when the runtime allows it: 8 angles,
oracle, and spark searchers.
- One accepted finding per cycle: <=3 files and <=50 changed lines. Larger
ideas escalate to
/wf or /wf-max, then return to auto.
- Every accepted cycle inherits the full WF chain:
Mini PRD -> AC IDs -> test/validation plan -> implementer -> verifier -> cross-review -> reflector PASS -> evidence ledger -> next W0.
- Review is mandatory: spec review, code-quality review, then reflector.
- Value Gate is scored for spark candidates: pass is >=18/25 and no dimension
below 3.
- Intent Checkpoint is adaptive: 2 -> 5 -> 10 cycles, exactly two questions.
- Record compact evidence per cycle; do not paste full logs or transcripts.
Loop
W0: SENSE (8 angles + oracle + spark sources)
A-GATE: continue, oracle, spark, confirm, or stop
W1: PRIORITIZE one finding
W2-W5: Mini PRD -> AC -> test/validation plan -> implementer -> verifier -> cross-review -> reflector PASS
RECORD: evidence ledger
LOOP: next W0
Return
Report cycles run, findings addressed by source, evidence ledger, exhaustion
evidence if any, weak spark count, final state, and residual risks.
