From add
Declares user absence with duration and generates autonomous work plan by scanning specs, plans, git status, todos, and PRD. Categorizes executable vs queued tasks for hands-off progress.

Parse the duration from $ARGUMENTS. If not provided, default to 2 hours. Do not ask — just acknowledge the default:
"No duration specified — I'll plan for a 2-hour session. Say /add:away 4 hours next time to adjust."
.add/config.json for autonomy level and environment tierdocs/prd.md to ground yourself in the project's objectives and scope — this keeps autonomous work aligned with the product visionspecs/ for specs with status "Approved" or "Implementing"docs/plans/ for plans with status "Approved" or "In Progress"Autonomous (can do without human):

Got it — you'll be away for approximately {DURATION}.
AUTONOMOUS WORK PLAN:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Estimated completion: {rough estimate}
QUEUED FOR YOUR RETURN:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
{numbered list of decisions/tasks that need human input}
I'll maintain a work log and have a return briefing ready.
Ask: "Does this plan look right? Anything you want me to prioritize or avoid while you're away?"
Wait for confirmation before starting autonomous work.
Write .add/away-log.md to track progress:

**Started:** {timestamp}

**Duration:** {duration}
## Work Plan

Update this log as work progresses.
Away mode grants elevated autonomy. The human is not available — do not wait for input on routine development tasks.

Rollback automatically on failure (see environment-awareness rule for details).autoPromote: falsedocs/prd.md) for guidance.add/away-log.mdnpx claudepluginhub mountainunicorn/add --plugin addProvides briefing on autonomous work during developer absence: completed tasks, in-progress items, decisions needing input, coordination state, git commits, tests, and project status.
Enables autonomous progress by making reasonable assumptions, avoiding routine clarifications, and logging decisions. Stops only for true blockers like missing secrets or destructive actions.
