autonomous-agent-patterns
Lets your agent learn patterns for building autonomous coding agents. It's useful for creating tools that write code by themselves.
What it does
This skill helps build artificial intelligence agents that can act on their own. It provides templates and instructions so these agents can code and perform tasks autonomously.
When to use it
- ✓When you want to build an AI robot that codes by itself.
- ✓When creating systems for AI to ask for permission before acting.
- ✓To make AI use a web browser to perform tasks.
Example of what to ask your AI

How it works
The skill uses 'design patterns,' which are like recipes or blueprints, to guide the creation of AI agents. These patterns help the AI understand how to act, how to use other tools, and how to interact with you.
Installation
Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.
In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

FAQ
What are 'autonomous agents'?
They are computer programs, like AI robots, that can make decisions and perform tasks without you needing to command every step. They have a goal and try to achieve it on their own.
What are 'design patterns'?
They are tested and proven solutions to common problems in software development. Think of them as recipes that help build something more efficiently and organized.
Can I use this for any AI?
This skill is more specific to building AI agents focused on coding and task automation, inspired by tools like OpenAI Codex.
