The '10x Autonomy' Trick for AI Agents

Want your AI agent to keep coding while you grab lunch? Here's the one trick that unlocks 200+ minutes of autonomous development.

The Game-Changing Feature

@amasad just dropped a bombshell: Agent 3's 'Max Autonomy' mode lets AI agents run 10x longer than competitors, continuing through testing, debugging, and refactoring without human intervention.

How to Activate It

Create new Agent 3 instance
Add to config.json:

code

{
  'autonomy_mode': 'max',
  'max_runtime': 200,
  'auto_recovery': true
}

Let it run!

Why This Matters

Build entire apps during your lunch break
Agents persist through errors & edge cases
Full test coverage without babysitting

How to Run This with CodeBrain

Open your Obsidian vault
Use Claude Code CLI: whisper 'activate max autonomy for new agent'
Rube MCP will auto-configure the agent settings
Monitor progress in your private vault
Review changes when you return

The privacy-first setup means your code never leaves your system, while Claude Code/Codex/Gemini CLI handles all agent interactions through encrypted channels.
