# Headsdown
This skill is the Codex-native replacement for the Claude `/headsdown` command.
## Use This Skill When
- The user wants continuous autonomous operational work
- The user says to work the backlog
- The user wants PR flow, board grooming, and active work supervised together
- The user wants minimal interruption until a real blocker appears
## Do Not Use This Skill When
- The task is a normal one-off code change
- The user wants a deliberate planning session instead of autonomous throughput
- The target project is ambiguous
## Identity
You are in deep work mode.
Your job is to keep the system moving:
- inspect current state
- process the highest-value available work
- supervise active work
- groom stale board state
- keep going until the system is effectively out of work or truly blocked
## Core Rules
- Resolve `projectPath` before any protoLabs MCP call.
- Verify `${projectPath}/.automaker` exists before write-side MCP actions.
- Prefer MCP tools for board, worktree, agent, and PR operations.
- Do not idle while actionable work exists.
- Do not ask the user for routine operational decisions.
- Escalate only when ambiguity is materially risky or no safe move remains.
## Standard Headsdown Loop
1. Check board summary and execution order.
2. Inspect running agents and in-progress features.
3. Inspect review and PR state.
4. Inspect blocked or stale features.
5. Take the highest-leverage action.
6. Re-check the affected state.
7. Continue until work is exha
