auto

/ouroboros:auto

Run the full-quality auto pipeline from a single task description.

Dispatch requirement

This skill must be executed by invoking MCP tool ouroboros_start_auto. Do not manually inspect repositories, run shell commands, query GitHub, edit files, or otherwise emulate the auto pipeline. The background starter returns job_id and auto_session_id quickly; retain both. If ouroboros_start_auto or a required job wait/result tool is unavailable, stop and report that the required MCP tool is unavailable. A manual fallback is not an ooo auto run.

If a started auto job returns detached, blocked, failed, or another auto-session status, report that status and the tool's blocker. detached is non-terminal tracked background work: surface the job/Ralph handles and keep observing them through the same owner. Do not label a blocked or failed outcome as MCP dispatch failure; dispatch failure means the MCP tool could not be invoked.

Do not stop after returning the job_id: keep the conversational UX, delegate monitoring (below), and never tell the user to call job tools themselves. The user should not have to poll the job manually.

Immediately before each ouroboros_* call, load its schema with the active runtime's tool-discovery capability (for example "+ouroboros auto" for ouroboros_start_auto and "+ouroboros session signal" for the Synapse tools); a schema loaded on an earlier turn may be gone. An empty result for an already-callable tool is expected.

Usage

ooo auto "Build a local-first habit tracker CLI"
ooo auto --resume auto_abc123
ooo auto "Build a local-first habit tracker CLI" --skip-run
/ouroboros:auto "Build a local-first habit tracker CLI"

ooo auto takes no parent Seed and infers no lineage from goal prose (a Seed named in the goal is ordinary context); never claim preserved lineage or AC edit scope. Use ooo evolve for parent evolution or ooo run for an existing Seed.
