Auto Pipeline: After Criticize, the rest runs on its own
Updating an existing project should not stall after criticism. Turn on Auto Pipeline and let AutonomLayer chain summary, plan, and launch — while momentum is still there.
Updating an existing project sounds simple until you are actually doing it. You open the folder, describe what you want to change, run criticism… and then you pause. Re-scan the repo. Generate a plan. Start the steps. Three small actions that eat more time than they should — especially when you already know the idea is solid.
Auto Pipeline closes that gap.
What it does, in one line
After Criticize finishes, AutonomLayer runs the next steps in order:
- 1
Repo summary
Re-reads the project and refreshes context.
- 2
Plan
Builds a step-by-step update plan.
- 3
Launch
Starts the build steps automatically.
You write the idea and hit Criticize. On Premium, what comes next is hands-off.
Why it exists
On brownfield work, the real drag is not the idea — it is the ritual after criticism: get summary → create plan → start. Same sequence, every time. Auto Pipeline folds that ritual into a single switch.
It matters most when you:
- Ship repeat updates to the same repo
- Read criticism, think “good enough,” and switch to something else before continuing
- Want the plan and steps now, not after three more clicks
You stay in charge of the idea. AutonomLayer handles the handoff.
How to turn it on
In the existing-project flow, you will find Auto Pipeline right below the idea field. Premium users can enable it. When it is on, Criticize triggers the full chain.
Progress shows up phase by phase:
- Exploring repo & getting summary…
- Creating your update plan…
- Starting build steps…
You are not left guessing where things stand.
Full automation? No. Full flow? Yes.
Auto Pipeline does not remove you from the loop. You still write the idea. You still read the criticism. What disappears is the “what do I click next?” moment — the friction between validated idea and work in motion.
For teams iterating on a live codebase, that is the difference between “I will finish this later” and steps actually running.
Before and after
| Before | With Auto Pipeline |
|---|---|
| Criticize → pause → summary → pause → plan → pause → start | Criticize → the rest runs |
| Three or four manual steps | One switch |
| Easy to defer | Steps start while momentum is still there |
Who it is for
- Premium subscribers
- Anyone using the existing project / brownfield flow
- People who keep coming back to the same repo with “one more thing”
Building something new from scratch? Leave Auto Pipeline off and use the classic flow. The toggle is yours.
