What it does

When installed, this skill tells the AI agent to handle a whole software task on its own once you describe what you want in a few lines. The agent works through phases: expanding the idea into a spec, designing, planning, implementing (in parallel where possible), running QA cycles, and getting multi-perspective validation before reporting back. It is designed for hands-off runs that continue until the task is finished, with optional budget limits and resumable progress.

Great for

  • Developers who want to hand off a small-to-medium build from idea to tested code
  • Solo builders prototyping an app or tool and willing to review the output afterwards
  • Teams already using the oh-my-claudecode plugin who want a fully automated workflow

Skip it if

  • Brainstorming or exploring options, since the skill is built to execute rather than discuss (use a planning skill instead)
  • Quick one-line fixes or small bugs, where the skill's multi-phase process is unnecessary overhead
  • Production-critical code without human review, since autonomous runs can produce code that still needs careful checking

Try asking

  • “/autopilot build me a simple expense tracker web app with CSV export”
  • “autopilot: create a command-line tool that renames photos by date taken”
  • “Make me a small REST API for managing a reading list, handle it all”
  • “/autopilot --workflow plan-build-qa add dark mode to my existing settings page”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Give a clear 2-3 line description of the product, including the stack and any constraints, so the spec phase has enough detail
  • Use --workflow with a configured profile for a predictable stage sequence, and check that your environment is Linux first
  • Review the generated code and tests yourself before deploying, and cancel with /oh-my-claudecode:cancel if a run goes off track
