autorun (beta): the agent that holds a task works down TODO.md without the user watching every step, and stops only for what a person must decide. This skill takes the user through getting ready and switching autorun on, and sets the rules while it runs. Use only when the user clearly types /harness-autorun; an agent must not call it by itself. Keywords: autorun, unattended, run to the end, keep going, no need to watch.

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

# autorun: working down the list (beta)

Autorun is a mode of a task. Once it is on, every time you want to stop, the hook judges by the facts: if steps are left, it makes you go on; if a person has to decide, it lets you stop and records the reason in the task.

It hands over control, so only the user can switch it on: the user runs `harness task autorun on` in their own terminal and types the code. You cannot.

## When to Use This Skill

**Use it only when the user types `/harness-autorun`.** You cannot call it yourself, and you cannot suggest "let's just switch autorun on" to save effort.

It fits when:

- The plan is approved, what is left is doing it step by step, and nothing on the way needs the user to choose.
- The user will be away for a while and only wants to see one whole diff on return.

It does not fit when:

- The requirement or the design is not settled. Settle it with the user first.
- The user has to look at every step before the next. Then work as usual.

## Prerequisites

All four are needed before switching on. `cannot_turn_on` of `harness task autorun status` lists what is missing.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add smars-bin-hu/copilot-agentic-harness/harness-autorun@sha256:2decb8666df11c0a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.d95f023, 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.
