Kapilot — Autonomous Dev Pipeline

Ship faster — phases run on cron while you sleep

Turn any development plan into a self-running pipeline. Build → Review → Security scan → Verify → Commit → Advance while you sleep — Kapilot handles each phase automatically and notifies you when it's done.

PROMPT

Set up Kapilot for autonomous pipeline execution. I have a PLAN.md with my project phases. Create a BITACORA.md tracking file, set a cron job to run every 15-30 minutes, and on each tick: check the current phase in BITACORA.md, execute it (build → code review → security scan → verify → commit), mark it complete, and advance to the next phase. Auto-stop after 3 consecutive failures. Notify me via chat when each phase completes or when the pipeline halts. Plan file: [path to your PLAN.md]

How It Works

Turn any development plan into a self-running pipeline. Build → Review → Security scan → Verify → Commit → Advance. You sleep, it ships.

What Others Get

  • Ship faster — phases run on cron while you sleep, no manual babysitting
  • Consistent quality — every phase passes code review + security scan before advancing
  • No scope drift — strict plan vs diff checking, no rabbit holes
  • Atomic commits — each phase = one clean commit, easy to rollback
  • Rule of 3 — auto-stops after 3 failures, no infinite loops burning tokens
  • Triple review gate — catches SQL injection, auth bypass, secrets in code before production

Setup Steps

  1. Have a plan — Create a PLAN.md with clear phases/tasks (checkboxes or numbered steps)
  2. Git init — Initialize repo, make sure it's clean (git status)
  3. Activate — Tell your Claw: "ponlo en kapilot" + path to your plan file
  4. Claw creates — BITACORA.md tracking file + cron job (every 15-30 min)
  5. Let it run — Kapilot picks up where it left off on each cron tick
  6. Get notified — Claw announces each completed phase to your chat
  7. Stop anytime — Just delete the cron job or tell Claw "para kapilot"
