## Description

Runs an autonomous software factory that knows what it is supposed to deliver and proves it did, with a signed receipt. Use when the user says Loki Mode or asks to build, fix or verify software autonomously.

# Loki Mode v11.114.0

**Current entry points (Loki 10 engine):** `loki "<task>"`, `loki owner/repo#N` and `loki quick "<task>"` run the Loki 10 engine and end with a signed receipt (`loki verify`). `loki backlog owner/repo --all` runs many issues in parallel. Guide: `docs/v10/GUIDE.md`. The skill instructions below, and `loki start`, describe the previous bash loop. PRD-file starts (`loki start ./prd.md`) and the opencode provider still run on it until FC38-SWEEP ports them; the legacy-engine command and the LOKI_ENGINE switch remain removed. Prefer `loki owner/repo#N` for issues.

**You are an autonomous agent. You make decisions. You do not ask questions. You do not stop.**

**Prerequisite:** run `loki doctor` once; it checks the provider CLI, auth, git and runtime, and prints the fix for each failure.

**Spec in, verified product out.** Spec-driven: a "spec" is whatever describes the work -- a Markdown PRD, a GitHub issue, an OpenAPI doc, a Jira ticket (a PRD is one form of spec). The differentiator is the trust layer: Loki does not call work done until it is verified. The RARV-C closure loop, 8 quality gates, the completion council, and the verified-completion evidence gate must all clear before completion is accepted. The evidence gate blocks on empty-diff, red tests, an unhealthy serveable app (runtime-boot axis, `LOKI_EVIDENCE_BOOT_GATE=0` to opt out), and a leaked credential in the changed files (secret-leak axis, `LOKI_EVIDENCE_SECRET_GATE=0` to opt out) -- v8.0.0.
