Autopilot

Autopilot is the strict autonomous delivery loop for non-trivial work. Its recommended/default contract is exactly:

deep-interview -> ralplan -> ultragoal (+ team if needed) -> code-review -> ultraqa

If code-review or ultraqa is not clean, Autopilot returns to ralplan with the findings as the next planning input, then continues again through ultragoal, code-review, and ultraqa until the gates are clean or a hard blocker is reported. Ralph is a legacy/explicit alternate execution loop only; do not advertise any legacy alternate loop as the default Autopilot path.

Use when

• User wants hands-off execution from a concrete idea, issue, PRD, or requirements artifact to reviewed and QA-checked code.
• User says "autopilot", "auto pilot", "autonomous", "build me", "create me", "make me", "full auto", "handle it all", or "I want a/an…".
• Task needs clarification, planning, durable execution, verification, code review, and QA with automatic follow-up when gates are not clean.

Do not use when
