Agent Skills: autonomous-agents
Autonomous agents are AI systems that can independently decompose goals, plan actions, execute tools, and self-correct without constant human guidance. The challenge isn't making them capable - it's making them reliable. Every extra decision multiplies failure probability. This skill covers agent loops (ReAct, Plan-Execute), goal decomposition, reflection patterns, and production reliability. Key insight: compounding error rates kill autonomous agents. A 95% success rate per step drops to 60% by step 10. Build for reliability first, autonomy second. 2025 lesson: The winners are constrained, domain-specific agents with clear boundaries, not "autonomous everything." Treat AI outputs as proposals, not truth.

More agent skills
- react-component-performanceAnalyze and optimize React component performance issues (slow renders, re-render thrash, laggy lists, expensive computations). Use when asked to profile or improve a React component, reduce re-renders, or speed up UI updates in React apps.
- database-designDatabase design principles and decision-making. Schema design, indexing strategy, ORM selection, serverless databases.
- content-writer-agentAuthoring playbook for building agents that draft written content — blog posts, marketing copy, social media posts, newsletters, product descriptions, landing pages, or ad copy. Use this when the user wants an agent that writes, drafts, or rewrites text for publication or marketing.
- prompt-refinementConvert vague requests into compact TCRO prompts with phase-specific constraints. Used by research, specify, plan, and work workflows.
- audit-env-variablesAnalyze environment variables in JavaScript/TypeScript projects. Identifies unused variables, infers permission scopes, detects specific services (Stripe, AWS, Supabase), and documents code paths. Includes optional cleanup of unused variables with regression detection. Use when auditing .env files, reviewing security, or documenting project configuration.
- verifyBuild, launch, and drive a local Honcho stack to verify a change at its runtime surface (the /v3 HTTP API and the deriver queue). Use when verifying a diff or confirming a change works in the running app.
