- Chain `figure-out --autonomous` (when the transcript lacks shared understanding) → `define --autonomous` → `do` on a single task. The `--autonomous` flag on figure-out makes the model self-answer with recommended answers instead of waiting on the user (see `figure-out/references/autonomous.md`). Surface define's Summary for Approval for visibility, then treat it as approved and proceed to /do.
-
- **Task text** comes from `$ARGUMENTS`; if empty, infer from conversation context (summarize the discussed task into a concrete description). Fresh session with no context and no args → halt: `No task description provided and no conversation context to infer from. Usage: /auto <task description> | /auto --babysit <pr-url>`.
-
- **Verification policy.** Parse only top-level option uses of `--verification` and `--verifier-model` as `/auto` flags; quoted or topic mentions remain task text. Omitted `--verification` means `per-gate`. After resolving that default, load the matching sibling `/do` reference under `../do/references/` and apply its policy validation before `/define`; the reference, not `/auto`, owns mode-specific model support and evidence provenance. Remove parsed flags from the task before `/define`, and forward them only to `/do`. Never write either option into the Manifest. Use the reference's required evidence/provenance wording when recording each gate's provenance in the ledger.
-
- **Babysit mode** (`--babysit <pr-url>`) skips fresh synthesis. Invoke `define` with `--babysit <pr-url> --autonomous`, then /do with the parsed verification options. PR-lifecycle platform auto-detects from PR URL host (`github.com` → github composition); non-github host → halt. Multi-repo manifest produced by /define → single /do invocation navigates all repos.
+ Run the flow for the task given or inferable from the conversation; with
+ neither, halt with usage.
- **Failure handling.** /define returns no manifest path → stop, report. /do invokes terminal escalation after useful independent work is exhausted → surface the escalation verbatim to the user with the intervention it names. An earlier blocker notice is progress, not a terminal result.
+ Where shared understanding is missing, invoke figure-out with the task and
+ `--autonomous`; invoke define; invoke do with the exact Manifest path
+ define reports. No path → stop and report.
- **Continuation.** Do not set or print a continuation goal during understanding or definition. When invoking figure-out, keep its full Read bar as the checkpoint before define, without a phase goal. Pass the exact Manifest path define reports to /do; /do owns the completion backstop, including native goal-setting and the manual completion contract. No path → stop and report. Automatic continuation begins at execution; an interrupted earlier phase must be restarted by the caller.
