Vercel for background agents on Autopilot

Inspired by Terminal Use — Vercel for background agents. Loop until the workflow is current, exceptions are owned, and human sign-off is captured where required.

Kickoff prompt
/loop 30m Start the "Vercel for background agents on Autopilot" loop.

Inspired by Terminal Use (https://www.terminaluse.com).

Goal: open work triaged, exceptions owned, and core integrations workflow current with audit trail
Max iterations: 20
Between iterations run: Report open queue items, stale tasks, failed automations, and items awaiting human approval for Terminal Use
Exit when: zero open items without owner or explicit escalation, all external actions approved or sent, and systems of record current

Step 1 — Scaffold integration: Wire SDK, MCP, or agent runtime into the target environment.
Step 2 — Configure policies: Set auth, scopes, retries, and observability hooks.
Step 3 — Run smoke tests: Validate happy path and failure modes on sample workloads.
Step 4 — Harden production: Add rate limits, secret handling, and drift detection.
Step 5 — Monitor and repair: Track reliability; patch breakages when upstream APIs change.

## Before you start

Connect plugins:
- GitHub (required) — Read branches, PRs, reviews, checks, workflow runs, and source diffs.

Attach skills:
- Loop runner (required) — Self-pace iterations, run the check between passes, and stop only on the exit condition.
- Code change + local verification (optional) — Edit code safely, run commands, and keep changes scoped.
- CI debugging (optional) — Read failing checks, logs, and the smallest actionable root cause.
- Approval workflows (optional) — Keep outbound actions in draft or approval states when risk is non-trivial.
- Test repair (optional) — Run tests, triage failures, and avoid weakening the suite.
- Security triage (optional) — Assess alerts, prioritize patches, and avoid unsafe shortcuts.

Self-pace this loop. After each iteration, run the check command, read the output, and only continue if the exit condition is not met. Stop when the exit condition passes or max iterations is reached. Give a short status update each pass.

Paste the kickoff prompt into Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex. Deeplinks do not install hook files.

Steps

1. Scaffold integration

Wire SDK, MCP, or agent runtime into the target environment.

2. Configure policies

Set auth, scopes, retries, and observability hooks.

3. Run smoke tests

Validate happy path and failure modes on sample workloads.

4. Harden production

Add rate limits, secret handling, and drift detection.

5. Monitor and repair

Track reliability; patch breakages when upstream APIs change.

Guardrails

Rules the agent must follow so it cannot cheat the exit condition.

  • Require human approval before customer-facing sends, payments, or legal submissions unless pre-approved templates apply
  • Preserve full audit trail linking source data to every automated action
  • Escalate compliance, safety, or regulatory-sensitive items immediately
