auto

name	auto
description	End-to-end autonomous execution: figure-out → define → do, chained without manual approval gates. Use when you want to define and execute without intervention during planning. Triggers: auto, autonomous, end-to-end, just build it, tend pr, babysit pr.
argument-hint	[task] [--babysit <pr-url>]
user-invocable	true

Chain manifest-dev:figure-out --autonomous (when the transcript lacks shared understanding) → manifest-dev:define --autonomous → manifest-dev:do on a single task. The --autonomous flag on figure-out makes the model self-answer with recommended answers instead of waiting on the user (see figure-out/references/autonomous.md). Surface define's Summary for Approval for visibility but don't wait — treat as approved and proceed to /do.

Task text comes from $ARGUMENTS; if empty, infer from conversation context (summarize the discussed task into a concrete description). Fresh session with no context and no args → halt: No task description provided and no conversation context to infer from. Usage: /auto <task description> | /auto --babysit <pr-url>.

Babysit mode (--babysit <pr-url>) skips fresh synthesis. Invoke manifest-dev:define with --babysit <pr-url> --autonomous, then /do. PR-lifecycle platform auto-detects from PR URL host (github.com → github composition); non-github host → halt. Multi-repo manifest produced by /define → single /do invocation navigates all repos.

Failure handling. /define returns no manifest path → stop, report. /do escalates (BLOCKED criterion or other blocker) → surface the escalation verbatim to the user with the action it requests.
