autonomous-agent-patterns · davila7 — Claude Code skill for agent design

This skill outlines how autonomous coding agents can plan work, call tools, and involve a person in decisions. Use it when shaping an agent’s architecture or tool APIs.

What autonomous-agent-patterns does

The examples walk through an agent cycle: the model considers a task, chooses an action, runs a tool, then receives its result. Python snippets show tool calls being added to conversation history, alongside a model-selection pattern for planning, analysis, and code generation.

The material also covers JSON Schema for tools, file operations, terminal commands, browser actions, and asking the user a question. One sample loop sets max_iterations=50; when it reaches that limit, it returns a message instead of continuing the task.

What it helps with

  • map out an autonomous agent’s action cycle
  • define a JSON Schema for a file-reading tool
  • route planning and code generation to different models
  • give an agent file and terminal operations
  • add a user approval step to an agent workflow

Example prompts for the agent

  • Design an autonomous agent loop that plans actions, calls tools, and incorporates their results.
  • Show a JSON Schema for a file-reading tool that requires a path.
  • Suggest a permission flow that asks the user before an agent takes an action.
