ruflo-autopilot

Autonomous /loop-driven task completion with learning and prediction.

Combines Ruflo's 10 autopilot MCP tools with Claude Code's native /loop + ScheduleWakeup for persistent, cache-aware task completion loops.

Install

/plugin marketplace add ruvnet/ruflo
/plugin install ruflo-autopilot@ruflo

Features

• Autonomous loops: Enable autopilot, then /loop drives iterative task completion
• Progress tracking: Monitors team-tasks, swarm-tasks, and file checklists
• Learning: Discovers success patterns from completed tasks via AgentDB
• Prediction: Predicts optimal next action based on state and learned patterns
• Cache-aware: ScheduleWakeup at 270s keeps prompt cache warm between iterations

Commands

• /autopilot -- Enable, configure, or disable autopilot
• /autopilot-status -- Quick progress summary

Skills

• autopilot-loop -- How to run an autopilot /loop iteration
• autopilot-predict -- Use learned patterns to pick the next task

MCP surface (10 tools)

Tool	Purpose
autopilot_status	Current autopilot state + learning stats
autopilot_enable	Turn autopilot on for the project
autopilot_disable	Turn autopilot off
autopilot_config	Read/update configuration
autopilot_reset	Clear learned patterns and progress (testing)
autopilot_log	Append a structured log entry
autopilot_progress	Progress summary across team/swarm/file checklists
autopilot_learn	Train on a completed task; writes to autopilot-patterns
autopilot_history	Browse past iterations
autopilot_predict	Predict the optimal next action from learned patterns

All 10 are wired in v3/@claude-flow/cli/src/mcp-tools/autopilot-tools.ts.

Compatibility

• CLI: pinned to @claude-flow/cli v3.6 major+minor.
• MCP surface: the 10 tools above.
• Verification: bash plugins/ruflo-autopilot/scripts/smoke.sh is the contract.

Cache-aware /loop integration

Autopilot pairs with Claude Code's native /loop + ScheduleWakeup skills. The recommended fallback heartbeat is 270 seconds — under the 5-minute prompt-cache TTL so the next wake-up reads conversation context cached. Going past 300s pays a cache-miss; rounding to 5 minutes is the worst-of-both case.

For event-driven loops, arm a Monitor and let the 270s wake be the safety net.

Namespace coordination

This plugin owns the autopilot-patterns AgentDB namespace (kebab-case, follows the convention from ruflo-agentdb ADR-0001 §"Namespace convention"). Reserved namespaces (pattern, claude-memories, default) MUST NOT be shadowed.

autopilot_learn writes to this namespace via agentdb_pattern-store semantics — see ruflo-intelligence ADR-0001 for the 4-step pipeline this feeds (RETRIEVE → JUDGE → DISTILL → CONSOLIDATE).

Verification

bash plugins/ruflo-autopilot/scripts/smoke.sh
# Expected: "10 passed, 0 failed"
