Autonomous Plan

Vodou Autonomous Plan — Create a Plan for Unattended Runs

What This Does

The autonomous scheduler runs ./do 'autonomous continue' on a schedule (e.g. every 4h). Each run: the planning step reads a plan file (from .env: VODOU_AUTONOMOUS_PLAN_PATH), asks an LLM for one next task, then runs it. So Vodou can work on itself while you sleep — one task per run.

When adding a scheduled task for autonomous runs, the payload must always be ./do 'autonomous continue', never the text of a plan task (e.g. "Add unit tests for...").

This skill helps you create or edit that plan file and wire up .env and the schedule.

Plan File Location and Format

• Recommended path: .vodou/workspace/autonomous-plan.md (already created as a template).
• Alternative: Any path relative to project root, e.g. PLANS/0.5.33.3/0.5.33.3.2/VODOU-FULL-BUILD-PLAN.md.
• Format: Markdown with a clear Goal and phases/sections of concrete, one-at-a-time tasks. Use - [ ] checkboxes or "NEXT" so the LLM can pick the next task. Example:

## Goal
Improve Vodou while unattended: tests, docs, small refactors.

## Phase 1
- [ ] Run full test suite and log result.
- [ ] Add or expand unit tests for one module.
- [ ] Update one section of docs from recent memory.

The LLM sees this plus recent memory and USER.md/SOUL.md, and returns e.g. TASK: Run full test suite and log result.

Stopping Point 1

What do you want to do?

1. Create a new plan — I'll create or overwrite .vodou/workspace/autonomous-plan.md with a template (Vodou working on itself: tests, docs, small refactors). You can edit it after.
2. Edit the existing plan — I'll show the current .vodou/workspace/autonomous-plan.md (or the file at VODOU_AUTONOMOUS_PLAN_PATH) and add/change tasks based on your instructions.
3. Wire up .env and schedule — I'll show you the exact .env line and schedule commands so the daemon runs autonomous tasks (e.g. every 4h) and uses this plan.
4. Full overnight setup — Create/confirm plan, set VODOU_AUTONOMOUS_PLAN_PATH, add recurring task, approve autonomous, and remind you to install/start the daemon.
