Proven guides for taking autonomous agents from experimental loops to reliable production workers. Full playbooks are coming soon.

GUIDE 01Coming Soon

Runaway Agent Cost & Loop Prevention

Production playbooks for hard spend ceilings, token caps, runtime timeouts, and recursive loop circuit-breakers before running unattended autonomous swarms.

#safety#budget#rate-limits#governance
Included Invariants:
  • Hard spend ceilings (stop at $X budget without exception)
  • Execution turn timeouts & recursive loop detection
  • Per-turn approval gates for high-impact shell commands
  • Fail-closed budget circuit-breakers before running unattended
OPERATIONAL SAFETY DISCIPLINE

The Stopping Rule & Worker Safety

Autonomous coding workers become productive only when hard spend, runtime, and concurrency boundaries are enforced. A runaway loop with unconstrained frontier API keys can burn hundreds of dollars in minutes. Swarm structures workers around durable checkpoint gates: Topic → Research → Draft → Citations → Peer Review, with parent validation required before code merges.
