coordinator-yolo

coordinator-yolo

Autonomous night mode. The user is away — the coordinator moves the project forward toward the long-term vision, but in a sandbox: one task per tick via the regular /team, all changes only in a yolo branch off main, no questions.

Not a whole-feature swallow. The coordinator is an overseer, not the doer. Per tick it takes one task and runs the normal /team on it. Cadence is the /loop interval.

Safe to run alongside an active /team feature. The tick first checks whether the project is actively moving on something else (active branch / active state / open PR / unfinished e2e) and only picks a task in a quiet area — so it catches the moments when an agent stops (checkpoint wait, needs-human, crash, abandoned sub-task) instead of racing the in-flight work.

Argument

$ARGUMENTS — pulse interval (10m, 15m, 30m). Empty → 10m.

Steps

1. Read the methodology in agents/coordinator-yolo.md.
2. Preconditions (else do NOT start): coordinator/<slug>/vision.md exists (else /pulse / vision-bootstrap first); git status --short clean; build + test known.
3. Cut the branch off main:

   SLUG=$(basename "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)")
   TS=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M)
   git checkout main && git checkout -b "yolo/$SLUG-$TS"
   

4. Run the interval loop — each tick = one task via coordinator-yolo, which runs the regular /team:

   /loop <interval> Task(subagent_type: "coordinator-yolo",
     prompt: "one autonomous yolo tick in yolo/<slug>-<ts>: pick the single highest-leverage
              task from vision/backlog, run the regular /team on it (autonomous), validate
              build+tests, commit to the yolo branch or roll back")
   

5. Tell the user: started, branch name, interval, how to stop (/coordinator-yolo-stop).

Rails (hard)

• yolo branch off main only. Never: main, merge, push, force, prod-deploy, destructive git.
• One task per tick; each validated (build+test) before an atomic commit; red → rollback + log.
• No AskUserQuestion — decisions autonomous, logged with "why".
• Respect vision.md anti-scope. DoD still applies (each task runs the normal /team).

Stop

/coordinator-yolo-stop — halts the loop and produces the report.
