Guide agents through AUTO_MODE authorization and activation by reading policy.

Policy Engagement Protocol

Read operations policy to understand autonomous operation:

1. framework/policies/base/operations/autonomous_operation.md - Complete mode architecture

Questions to Extract from Policy Reading

After reading policy, extract answers to:

1. Mode Differences - How do MANUAL_MODE and AUTO_MODE differ?
2. Authorization Requirements - What authorization is required?
3. Missing Authorization - What should agent do if authorization missing?
4. CLI Activation - How is AUTO_MODE activated via CLI?
5. Mode Persistence - How does mode persist across session events?
6. Safeguards - What constraints apply in AUTO_MODE?

Execution

1. Check user's message for authorization elements (per policy)
2. If missing: Request authorization without hinting
3. If present: Execute activation command (per policy)
4. Verify mode switch succeeded
5. Display available skills for autonomous operation

Critical Meta-Pattern

Policy as API: This skill points to autonomous_operation.md without encoding authorization details. As mechanisms evolve, policy updates automatically update behavior.
