autonomous-builder
Run headless implementation from idea to artifact. Use when user says 'build in background', 'autonomous', 'headless', or wants hands-off execution.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill autonomous-builder --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Autonomous Builder Build from idea to working artifact with minimal supervision. ## When To Use - User says "build this in background" - User says "autonomous", "headless", "overnight" - User provides idea and wants hands-off execution - User says "just build it" or "come back with something working" ## Core Philosophy > "Tell it an idea, come back with the thing built." Like a capable underling: takes an idea, uses best judgment at every step, and returns with something tangible (50-99% complete). --- ## Quick Start ```bash # From project directory (runs in resilient tmux session): oneshot-build "A CLI tool that converts markdown to PDF" # Monitor progress: tail -f .agent/STATUS.md # Attach to running session: tmux attach -t oneshot-build # Check tasks: bd list --json ``` **Resilient by default**: All builds run in tmux. Survives terminal disconnect. --- ## How It Works ### Phase 1: Planning (Automatic) 1. Uses front-door skill to analyze idea 2. Creates structured plan with create-plan 3. Parses plan into beads tasks with dependencies 4. Commits plan file ### Phase 2: Building (Loop) ``` while tasks remain: 1. bd ready --json → pick next task 2. bd update <id> --status in_progr

What does the autonomous-builder skill do?
Run headless implementation from idea to artifact. Use when user says 'build in background', 'autonomous', 'headless', or wants hands-off execution.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill autonomous-builder --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
