Autonomous: Runs. Operating rules and hard-won gotchas for unattended or overnight agent work on the user's Mac and dev boxes, and for starting any new session: when told 'work overnight', 'you have 8 to 12 hours', 'I'm going to bed', 'I won't be at my laptop', 'don't ask me anything', 'keep going', 'make another session', or 'start a new chat'. Covers a live Desktop status list, never blocking on the user, the model every new session runs on (top model, max effort, largest context, verified)…

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: Runs

How to work for hours without the user and hand back exactly what they expected. The domain work
itself follows [`autonomous-demos`](../autonomous-demos/SKILL.md),
[`autonomous-prototypes`](../autonomous-prototypes/SKILL.md),
[`autonomous-variations`](../autonomous-variations/SKILL.md),
or [`autonomous-research`](../autonomous-research/SKILL.md). Machine-sharing
mechanics (invisible windows, input guards, ownership receipts) and the other gotchas are in
[`references/`](#gotchas-by-topic), by topic. Native desktop-app work follows
[`autonomous-computer-use`](../autonomous-computer-use/SKILL.md).

## The rules

1. **Write the list first, keep it current.** Turn the request into a numbered checklist in
   `~/Desktop/<Project> status.txt` (what will be done, in order, with `[ ]` boxes), open it once with
   `open -g` (background, no focus change), and tick items the moment they are verified. The user checks it. New asks get appended, never dropped.
   Mirror it in the session todo list.
2. **Never block on the user.** No questions, no OS authentication or keychain prompts, no sign-in

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eli-w-king/autonomous-output-skills/autonomous-runs@sha256:682b008094b7a070

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.faacb66, 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.
