active - Aliases: proactive mode, autonomous tick mode, PROACTIVE
Description
Unshipped autonomous mode with 37 source references. Leaked prompt: 'You are running autonomously. Look for useful work to do. Act based on best judgment, not request confirmation.' Uses tick prompts to keep agent alive between user messages. Three sub-features: Background Skill Improvement, Away Summary, GitHub Webhook Subscription. Not shipped due to trust design gap: no cancel path for autonomous actions happening while user is away; Ctrl+C doesn't work when terminal is not focused. Architecture is built but the oversight problem is unsolved.
Key claims
- PROACTIVE absence is a trust gap, not a capability gap
