Auto Build

FeaturedCategory: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: testing  ·  Last updated:
type:review
Implement a whole DAG plan autonomously — one approved pass, one clean rollback point per task, never building on a broken base. It requires an approved plan (specced upstream) and a clean git baseline, takes a SINGLE human approval of the plan, then walks the DAG layer by layer: for each task it implements on an isolated worktree branch test-first (RED → GREEN), integrates the slice onto the working branch, reviews the integrated change, runs a bounded fix loop until the task passes, and commits it individually — so any point is a clean rollback. It follows the dependency graph strictly (a task builds only once its deps integrate), checkpoints every task so it resumes exactly where it stopped, and STOPS-and-asks on unfixable failures, ambiguity, or irreversible steps rather than pushing through. This is the BUILD phase. Composes fan-out-work (per layer), converge-loop (per-task fix), adversarial-verify (per-task review), checkpoint-resume, and budget-guard.

How Auto Build fits the catalog

Auto Build sits in the Engineering category under the testing sub-topic in the ClaudSkills catalog. There are 10 related skills indexed alongside it; comparing a few before installing usually reveals which fits your workflow best.

Is Auto Build safe to install?

A free static scan against the OWASP Agentic Skills Top 10 found no risk patterns in Auto Build’s SKILL.md — no data-exfiltration, prompt-injection, or unexpected-execution signatures. The full security scan is below.

Installing & verifying

Installing Auto Build writes its SKILL.md to ~/.claude/skills/auto-build/SKILL.md; Claude Code discovers it automatically on the next session — no restart flag needed. It declares no allowed-tools restriction, so it inherits your session’s existing tool access rather than narrowing it. To confirm it loaded, ask Claude to list its available skills — auto-build should appear by name.

From the source SKILL.md

<EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT> This drives real, unattended code writing across many tasks. Non-negotiable: 1. ONE HUMAN GATE: approve the plan. After an unambiguous approval, run autonomously — but that approval is the ONLY blanket authorization. Irreversible/ambiguous/unfixable situations still STOP and ask. 2. CLEAN BASELINE FIRST. Require a clean git tree (only expected planning artifacts uncommitted). Per-task commits must never absorb unrelated local work, or the clean-rollback guarantee breaks. 3. ONE SLICE AT A TIME, EACH ITS OWN COMMIT. Implement, test, integrate, review, fix, commit — per…

What this skill does

Auto Build is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the testing sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/auto-build/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Auto Build Claude Code skill?
Install via the ClaudSkills desktop app (one click) or copy SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/auto-build/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Auto Build skill?
Use Auto Build when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the testing area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Auto Build" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Auto Build skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Auto Build is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.
