# 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.

## Directory Structure

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

```
project-root/
└── .autonomous/
    ├── build-rest-api/
    │   ├── task_list.md
    │   └── progress.md
    ├── refactor-auth/
    │   ├── task_list.md
    │   └── progress.md
    └── ...
```

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

## Workflow Overview

```
User Request → Generate Task Name → Create .autonomous/<task-name>/ → Execute Sessions
```

## Step 1: Initialize Task Directory

Generate a task name from user's description and create the directory:

```bash
# Generate task name (lowercase, hyphens, max 30 chars)
# Example: "Build a REST API for todo app" → "build-rest-api-todo"
TASK_NAME=$(echo "$USER_TASK" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | sed 's/[^a-z0-9]/-/g' | sed 's/--*/-/g' | cut -c1-30 | sed 's/-$//')

# Create task directory
TASK_DIR=".autonomous/$TASK_NAME"
mkdir -p "$TASK_DIR"

echo "Task directory: $TASK_DIR"
```

## Step 2: Analyze Current State

Check if this is a new task or continuation:

```bash
TASK_DIR=".autonomous/$TASK_NAME"

# Look for existing task list
if [ -f "$TASK_DIR/task_list.md" ]; then
  echo "=== CONTINUATION MODE ==="
  echo "Found existing task at: $TASK_DIR"

  # Show progress summary
  TOTAL=$(grep -c '^\- \[' "$TASK_DIR/task_list.md" 2>/dev/null || echo "0")
  DONE=$(grep -c '^\- \[x\]' "$TASK_DIR/task_list.md" 2>/dev/null || echo "0")
  echo "Progress: $DONE/$TOTAL tasks completed"

  # Show recent progress notes
  echo ""
  echo "=== Recent Progress ==="
  head -50 "$TASK_DIR/task_list.md"
else
  echo "=== NEW TASK MODE ==="
  echo "Creating new task at: $TASK_DIR"
  mkdir -p "$TASK_DIR"
fi
```

## Step 3: Choose Agent Mode

### For NEW Tasks (Initializer Mode)

If `task_list.md` does N...
