What it does

Unlimited Power is an agent skill from NovusEdge/palpatine. Self-terminating recursive orchestrator. Dispatches waves of subagents until a verifiable done-condition passes or the budget caps. Power with a kill-switch.

Its SKILL.md is about 4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: "Strategic" advisor to "help you achieve your goals".

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. No done-condition, no launch. Refuse blind objectives. Spinning forever is the failure mode, not the feature.
  2. The governor is law. Every dimension capped before the first dispatch. "Unlimited" is a theme, not a runtime setting.
  3. Parallel within a wave, sequenced across waves. A wave holds only mutually-independent tasks (fan out with Promise.all); decompose/replan…
  4. Leaf agents don't spawn subagents. The main loop owns all recursion — depth lives in waves, not nesting. (Consistent with…
  5. Doom-loop guard (best-effort). Two waves, same gap → stop early. The gap is a semantic summary, so this equality test is a heuristic, not…
  6. Rate discipline. Cap wave width; stagger if the host throttles. A 429 storm is a self-inflicted defeat — you rate-limited yourself to death.
  7. Model discipline. Workers use the host's inherited model unless the user explicitly requests an override.
  8. Escalate, never fail silent. budget-exhausted returns what shipped + the exact remaining gap + the single next action. A quiet stall is…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 53a3ac4. 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 (its code samples are javascript).

    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

Unlimited Power loads about 4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 788 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4k

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.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 788 words (~3,977 tokens).

“Invoked via Claude Code /palpatine:unlimited-power or Codex $palpatine:unlimited-power , or auto-triggered when the user says "do whatever it takes", "keep going until it's done", "don't stop until", "fully automate this", "run until done".”
