Nonstop Mode is an autonomy-focused skill that enables session-scoped continuous work when the user is away. It enforces a mandatory pre-flight sequence (mental simulation, dangerous-ops manifest, permissions check, and explicit activation) to ensure the agent has no unresolved ambiguities before proceeding. During operation it applies a three-level blocker decision framework (solve, work around, mark blocked), spawns subagents for long-running tasks, and records dangerous operations so only pre-approved categories are executed. It also provides explicit deactivation steps and auto-deactivation safeguards to avoid runaway loops.
Use Nonstop Mode when the user requests the agent to "keep working" or be autonomous for extended periods, for example: unattended builds, long-running research, or multi-step automation where intermittent user input would be impractical. Do NOT use for actions that require sensitive approvals unless the user explicitly pre-approves dangerous categories.
Best paired with orchestrators, monitoring subagents, and agents that can safely perform infra or deploy tasks when explicit approvals are granted.
Nonstop Mode is a session-scoped autonomous work skill for Claude Code that activates a structured pre-flight risk assessment, dangerous-ops approval manifest, and blocker decision framework. No bundled scripts — purely instructional via a well-written SKILL.md. The skill provides a thoughtful approach to unattended agent operation with explicit safety guardrails and a three-level blocker resolution tree.
Clean skill with no security concerns. Explicitly instructs agents to never disable safety checks. Well-structured pre-flight phases and blocker framework. No scripts to test — score based purely on SKILL.md quality.
