What it does

09 For Sure is an agent skill from ai-driven-dev/framework. Run an iterative agent loop that retries until a runnable success condition passes. Use when the user says "for sure", "keep trying until", or wants guaranteed completion against a success command. Not for one-shot tasks or uncheckable goals.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `actions/01-init-tracking.md`, `actions/02-auto-accept.md` and `actions/03-autonomous-loop.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Autonomous loops. The repository describes itself as: Marketplace Framework AI-Driven Dev : Context Engineering, Plugins, Agents, Skills, Hooks, Templates, SDLC. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says for sure
  • Keep trying until
  • Wants guaranteed completion against a success command

Example prompts

  • “for sure”
  • “keep trying until”
  • “/09-for-sure”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30640. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

09 For Sure loads about 588 tokens when it runs, and up to ~728 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 239 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~588
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~728

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Skill: for-sure

Run an autonomous loop until a success condition is verified. An interactive pre-flight (human present) sets it up, then autonomous execution (human gone) retries until success, acting as the user and never stopping early.

Actions

#ActionPhaseRole
01init-trackinginteractive pre-flightvalidate the goal, build the journey map, create the tracking file, spawn the loop
02auto-acceptautonomousdecide and act as the user, stopping only on money or destructive actions
03autonomous-loopautonomousspawn one worker per step, verify, retry, evaluate the success condition

Run 01 interactively; it spawns 03, which runs unattended under the 02 auto-accept rules until the success condition passes. Before running an action, read its file in actions/, not only the table or assets.

Transversal rules

  • Single source of truth: all task state lives in aidd_docs/tasks/<task-name>.md and nowhere else.
  • No repeated failures: never retry a failed approach without a meaningful change.
  • Honesty over escape: never set status: implemented until the success condition genuinely passes.
  • Auto-accept: when a decision or approval is needed, act as the user (create accounts, generate keys, approve prompts, install tools), never asking. Stop only on a payment or a destructive action.
  • The loop spawns one worker agent per step and never does the work itself.

Assets

  • assets/plan-template.md: the tracking file format (frontmatter, phases, acceptance criteria, Log).
  • assets/autonomous-loop-worker-prompt.md: the prompt the loop spawns each per-step worker with.

References

  • references/autonomous-loop-log-format.md: the Log entry format the loop appends per attempt.
