Autonomous: Prototypes and PRs. Build, iterate, and ship UI changes autonomously in real code: VS Code (Code OSS from microsoft/vscode, Agents and editor windows, Component Explorer fixtures), the VS Code website, and codicons. Covers a worktree from the latest upstream main, confirming the real component, putting new concepts behind experimental settings with v1/v2 or Design A/B variants, keeping changes surgical, polish passes, opening ONE Code OSS window so the user can try or live-demo it…

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: Prototypes and PRs

Turn a design ask into working UI in the real product, let the user try it, iterate, and ship it as
a clean PR, without the user having to babysit. Demos of the result follow
[`autonomous-demos`](../autonomous-demos/SKILL.md); sets of variations to pick from follow
[`autonomous-variations`](../autonomous-variations/SKILL.md); unattended multi-hour work also follows
[`autonomous-runs`](../autonomous-runs/SKILL.md). Code OSS build, run, and component
gotchas are in [`code-oss.md`](../autonomous-runs/references/code-oss.md).

## Standing rules

1. **Real code in the real component.** Never mock VS Code UI in HTML. Prototype inside Code OSS
   (or a Component Explorer fixture of the real component). Confirm the exact component before
   building (grep a string from the user's screenshot, name the file and class).
2. **Start from the latest upstream.** New work branches from current `microsoft/main` in its own
   worktree. Continuing work rebases on upstream main when the user asks or the base is stale.
3. **Surgical by default.** Change only what was asked. "Replace the icon and text" means the

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eli-w-king/autonomous-output-skills/autonomous-prototypes@sha256:42364df37fa0a79b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.5dc815c, 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.
