See support and audit notes.

Check, update, or remove an installation

Replace PROVIDER with a key from the support table, such as claude, codex, or prime.

Benchmarks

These are version 1 benchmarks. Version 2 benchmarks will follow.

Terminal-Bench 2.1 leaderboard with 18 Artificial Analysis reference scores and measured DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 scores with and without Autoprompt.

Measured OpenCode comparison

OpenCode 1.18.7 on Terminal-Bench 2.1: OpenCode solved 60 of 89 tasks and OpenCode with Autoprompt solved 73 of 89 tasks.

Track Solved Score Failed
OpenCode 60/89 67.42% 29
OpenCode + Autoprompt 73/89 82.02% 16
Change +13 solves +14.61 points 45% fewer

DeepSeek's 82.7% used its own test setup, so it is a reference point, not a comparable third run. Read the setup and evidence boundaries, or request another benchmark.

Expected trade-off: about 3x the time and 2x the tokens.

Timing and token logs were not retained, so these are planning estimates based on user experience reports, not measured benchmark results. The measured result was 29 to 16 failures (45% fewer) in this run, which translates to about 2x fewer mistakes. Note: for very small tasks, this may differ significantly.

Anatomy of an invocation

autoprompt activate PROVIDER --target /absolute/project -- "<goal>"
Part What it does
PROVIDER A key from the support table, such as claude, codex, or grok.
--target The project to work on. Omit it to use the current directory.
-- Separates launcher options from the request.
<goal> The result you want, constraints, and how to check success.
path= Optional auto, direct, light, or roadmap, before the quoted goal. See work paths.
autoprompt activate codex -- path=light "add retries and test the edge cases"

Run controls

The same controls apply to all eleven providers. Custom model setup

Control What it does
--concurrency tokensaver Runs at most six subagents at once.
--concurrency wide Starts ready, independent work up to the host limit.
--concurrency custom --max-subs N Sets your own concurrency limit.
configure PROVIDER --agents off Uses the provider's configured model.
configure PROVIDER --agents MODEL Selects one model. Add --effort LEVEL where supported.
configure PROVIDER --agents auto --model-map FILE Chooses from a measured model registry. A comma-separated model list also requires --model-map.

Pass concurrency controls after --, before the quoted goal:

autoprompt activate codex -- --concurrency custom --max-subs 4 "add retries and tests"
autoprompt configure claude --agents provider/model --effort low

How it works

Autoprompt workflow: choose a route, plan, build, check, and finish

The agents

Autoprompt agents: run coordinator, workers, independent checkers, and coordinators for larger jobs

Examples

Goal Prompt
Fix autoprompt activate claude -- "fix the registration race and add a regression test"
Build autoprompt activate codex -- --concurrency wide "build the booking flow from API to checkout"
Research autoprompt activate hermes -- "compare job queues against this codebase and recommend one"
Limit parallel work autoprompt activate grok -- --concurrency custom --max-subs 4 "migrate every model"

Run these commands from your project, or supply --target /absolute/project before --.

FAQ

Does Autoprompt mean I literally do not have to prompt?

No. Give it a clear goal, constraints, and success criteria. Autoprompt handles the execution loop, so you do not have to prompt every step. Details

How autonomous is Autoprompt?

It can scope, implement, test, review, repair, and verify a goal. It stops for choices that change the result, actions that need your authority, or blockers it cannot safely resolve. Details

What are the layers for?

The layers separate coordination, management, execution, and independent judgment. That separation keeps one agent from planning, approving, and verifying its own work. Details

What are the paths?

path=auto selects a route for the task. direct starts focused work, light adds a short plan, and roadmap organizes dependent work before execution. Every path includes independent verification. Details

What do concurrency, models, and paths control?

--concurrency and --max-subs set parallel work limits. configure --agents selects models, and path= selects how work is planned and coordinated. Details

Why does Autoprompt not start in the background?

Because it changes cost, time, and workflow. Start it explicitly with autoprompt activate PROVIDER -- "<goal>".

Searching Database…

What is this?Autoprompt is a coding-agent workflow/skill that wraps your existing AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) and adds a review-fix-recheck loop, cutting task failures by about 45% in its own benchmark.
Is this a separate AI agent, or does it drive my existing coding agent?It is a CLI that plugs into a coding agent you already have (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, VS Code, etc.): you pick your installed agent, it confirms the path, and installs itself on top of it.
How do I install and start using it?Install the Autoprompt CLI, run its installer to pick and confirm your coding agent, then invoke it with 'autoprompt activate PROVIDER -- "your goal"'; a GitHub Releases installer is also available instead of the CLI route.
What do I need installed before running it?Node.js 20 or newer, Python 3.11+ (as python3 or python) with PyYAML, and Bash 4.3+ on macOS or Linux; Git is only needed if you install via the GitHub checkout method.
What's the catch behind the 45% fewer failures claim?The measured 45% comes from one internal OpenCode benchmark run (73/89 vs 60/89 solved), not a universal guarantee, and it costs roughly 3x the time and 2x the tokens of running the agent alone; timing/token figures beyond that are planning estimates, not retained logs.
Which coding agents does it actually work with?Eleven providers are listed as tested on Linux: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Kilo Code, VS Code, Prime Agent, Oh My Pi, DeepSeek Harness, Reasonix, Hermes Agent, and Grok Build; other CLIs/IDEs need the 'Custom coding agent' compatibility path.
What do the work paths (auto, direct, light, roadmap) actually control?They set how a task is planned: direct dives straight into focused work, light adds a short plan, roadmap organizes dependent work before execution, and auto picks one of these automatically; every path still ends with independent verification.
How do I control how many subagents run at once?Use --concurrency tokensaver to cap it at six subagents, --concurrency wide to run everything that's ready up to the host limit, or --concurrency custom --max-subs N to set your own number.
Why doesn't Autoprompt just run automatically in the background?Because it changes cost, time, and your workflow, so you always start it explicitly with 'autoprompt activate PROVIDER -- "goal"' rather than it kicking off on its own.
What are the separate agent layers for?They split coordination, management, execution, and independent judgment across different agents so that the agent doing the work isn't the same one approving and verifying it.
