Autonomous Skill - Long-Running Task Execution

Execute complex, long-running tasks across multiple sessions using a dual-agent pattern (Initializer + Executor) with automatic session continuation via Codex non-interactive mode.

Quick Start

Use the run-session.sh script to manage autonomous tasks:

bash

# Start a new autonomous task
~/.codex/skills/autonomous-skill/scripts/run-session.sh "Build a REST API for todo app"
 
# Continue an existing task
~/.codex/skills/autonomous-skill/scripts/run-session.sh --task-name build-rest-api-todo --continue
 
# List all tasks and their progress
~/.codex/skills/autonomous-skill/scripts/run-session.sh --list
 
# Show help
~/.codex/skills/autonomous-skill/scripts/run-session.sh --help

Directory Structure

All task data is stored in .autonomous/<task-name>/ under the project root:

text

project-root/
└── .autonomous/
    ├── build-rest-api/
    │   ├── task_list.md        # Master task checklist
    │   ├── progress.md         # Session-by-session notes
    │   ├── session.id          # Last Codex session ID for resumption
    │   └── session.log         # JSON Lines output from sessions
    ├── refactor-auth/
    │   ├── task_list.md
    │   ├── progress.md
    │   └── session.id
    └── ...

This allows multiple autonomous tasks to run in parallel without conflicts.

Script Options

text

Usage:
  run-session.sh "task description"           Start new task (auto-generates name)
  run-session.sh --task-name <name> --continue Continue specific task
  run-session.sh --list                        List all tasks
  run-session.sh --help                        Show help
 
Options:
  --task-name <name>       Specify task name explicitly
  --continue, -c           Continue existing task
  --no-auto-continue       Don't auto-continue after session
  --max-sessions N         Limit to N sessions
  --list                   List all existing tasks
  --resume-last            Resume the most recent Codex session
  --network                Enable network access (uses danger-full-access sandbox)

Usage Examples

Example 1: Start New Task

bash

~/.codex/skills/autonomous-skill/scripts/run-session.sh "Build a REST API for todo app"

Output:

text

ℹ Generated task name: build-rest-api-todo
==========================================
  SESSION 1 - build-rest-api-todo
==========================================
 
==========================================
  INITIALIZER SESSION
==========================================
Task: Build a REST API for todo app
Task Name: build-rest-api-todo
Task Directory: .autonomous/build-rest-api-todo
 
[Codex creates task_list.md with 25 tasks...]
 
✓ Initializer session complete
ℹ Session ID saved: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
 
=== Progress: 0/25 ===
 
Continuing in 3 seconds... (Press Ctrl+C to pause)

Example 2: Continue Existing Task

bash

~/.codex/skills/autonomous-skill/scripts/run-session.sh --task-name build-rest-api-todo --continue

Example 3: Resume with Session Context

bash

# Resume the Codex session (preserves conversation context)
~/.codex/skills/autonomous-skill/scripts/run-session.sh --task-name build-rest-api-todo --continue --resume-last

Example 4: List All Tasks

bash

~/.codex/skills/autonomous-skill/scripts/run-session.sh --list

Output:

text

==========================================
  AUTONOMOUS TASKS
==========================================
  ✓ build-rest-api-todo (25/25 - 100% complete) [session: 550e8400...]
  ○ refactor-auth (12/30 - 40%) [session: 661f9511...]
  ? incomplete-task (no task_list.md)

Example 5: With Network Access

bash

# Enable network access for tasks that need API calls
~/.codex/skills/autonomous-skill/scripts/run-session.sh --network "Fetch data from GitHub API and analyze"

Key Files

For each task in .autonomous/<task-name>/:

File	Purpose
`task_list.md`	Master task list with checkbox progress
`progress.md`	Session-by-session progress notes
`session.id`	Last Codex session ID for resumption
`session.log`	JSON Lines output from Codex sessions

Important Notes

Task Isolation: Each task has its own directory, no conflicts
Task Naming: Auto-generated from description (lowercase, hyphens, max 30 chars)
Task List is Sacred: Never delete or modify task descriptions, only mark [x]
One Task at a Time per Session: Focus on completing tasks thoroughly
Auto-Continue: Sessions auto-continue with 3s delay; Ctrl+C to pause
Session Resumption: Use --resume-last to preserve Codex conversation context

Codex CLI Reference

The script uses these Codex commands internally:

bash

# Non-interactive execution with file edits (fully autonomous)
# --full-auto: autonomous execution with workspace-write sandbox
codex exec --full-auto --json "prompt"
 
# Resume previous session
codex exec --full-auto --json resume <SESSION_ID> "prompt"
 
# Full access (file edits + network) - use with caution!
codex exec --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox --json "prompt"

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Task not found	Run `--list` to see existing tasks
Multiple tasks	Specify task name with `--task-name`
Session stuck	Check `session.log` in task directory
Need to restart	Delete task directory and start fresh
Resume failed	Remove `session.id` to start fresh session
Codex not found	Install Codex CLI: `npm install -g @openai/codex`
