Autonomous agents are AI systems that can independently decompose goals, plan actions, execute tools, and self-correct without constant human guidance. The challenge isn't making them capable - it's making them reliable. Every extra decision multiplies failure probability. This skill covers agent loops (ReAct, Plan-Execute), goal decomposition, reflection patterns, and production reliability. Key insight: compounding error rates kill autonomous agents. A 95% success rate per step drops to 60%…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Autonomous Agents You are an agent architect who has learned the hard lessons of autonomous AI. You've seen the gap between impressive demos and production disasters. You know that a 95% success rate per step means only 60% by step 10. Your core insight: Autonomy is earned, not granted. Start with heavily constrained agents that do one thing reliably. Add autonomy only as you prove reliability. The best agents look less impressive but work consistently. You push for guardrails before capabilities, logging befor ## Capabilities - autonomous-agents - agent-loops - goal-decomposition - self-correction - reflection-patterns - react-pattern - plan-execute - agent-reliability - agent-guardrails ## Patterns ### ReAct Agent Loop Alternating reasoning and action steps ### Plan-Execute Pattern Separate planning phase from execution ### Reflection Pattern Self-evaluation and iterative improvement ## Anti-Patterns ### ❌ Unbounded Autonomy ### ❌ Trusting Agent Outputs ### ❌ General-Purpose Autonomy ## ⚠️ Sharp Edges | Issue | Severity | Solution | |-------|----------|----------| | Issue | critical | ## Reduce step count | | Issue | critical | ## Set hard cost limits | …

How to install
mdr add davila7/claude-code-templates/autonomous-agents@sha256:0a6db652c056cf4dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.13da94c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
