SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The nonstop Skill keeps Claude working through a multi-step task even when the user goes AFK, preventing premature termination at the end of a turn.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Arms a Stop-hook “nonstop mode”: Enables a user-controlled loop where Claude receives nudge events instead of stopping, ideal for long task lists.
  • Supports on/off/status controls: Handles nonstop activation, deactivation, and progress visibility so users can safely manage unattended work.
  • Enforces a guardrailed decision loop: Prioritizes early ambiguity resolution, safe fallback strategies, and background handling for long-running operations.

Quick Start

Tell your AI to run nonstop mode so it continues executing your task list while you’re away, by replying: “/nonstop”.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep an AI agent working autonomously on a long task list after I go AFK?▼

To keep an AI agent working autonomously after you go AFK, you arm a stop-hook that intercepts turn termination events and nudges the agent to continue executing the task list. This enforces continuous progress across multi-step phases like planning and implementation.

How does a stop-hook loop prevent an AI agent from stopping prematurely during multi-step workflows?▼

A stop-hook loop prevents premature stopping by catching the agent's end-of-turn signal and issuing a nudge event instead of terminating. This guardrailed mechanism resolves ambiguity early and applies fallback strategies for blocked operations, keeping the workflow active.

Can I safely arm and disarm autonomous workflow execution for unattended background tasks?▼

Yes, you can safely arm and disarm autonomous workflow execution using local hook flag files. These files control the stop-hook state, allowing you to activate nonstop mode, check execution status, and safely deactivate the loop when unattended work is complete.

What happens when an autonomous agent encounters a blocked or failing operation during nonstop execution?▼

When an autonomous agent encounters a blocked or failing operation during nonstop execution, the guardrailed decision loop enforces safe fallback strategies. It prioritizes early ambiguity resolution and uses background handling to manage long-running operations without terminating the turn.

Do I need pre-flight validation before starting hands-free task list execution?▼

Yes, safe pre-flight validation is required before starting hands-free task list execution. This validation checks the environment and task parameters prior to arming the stop-hook, ensuring the autonomous workflow can proceed securely without immediate failures.

How do I check the progress of an AFK mode workflow once it has been activated?▼

To check the progress of an AFK mode workflow, you use the status control command to query the active stop-hook state. This provides visibility into the current execution phase, allowing you to monitor unattended work without interrupting the autonomous loop.
