Autopilot Guard

A reliability layer for developers.

"Autopilot Guard makes it hard to lose work — even when you forget."

Autopilot Guard acts as your safety net, providing awareness and prevention for uncommitted work.

Core Philosophy

We are not building just another "AI extension". We are building a reliability layer.

• Autopilot CLI = Execution
• Autopilot Guard = Awareness + Prevention

This pairing ensures that your focus remains on coding, while we handle the safety of your progress.

Features

• Intelligent Risk Monitoring: Silently observes your workspace for uncommitted changes.
• Context-Aware Notifications: Suggests committing only when the risk of data loss is moderate or high.
• Automatic Prevention: If enabled, proactively commits your work when risk is critical (e.g., closing the workspace with many changes).
• Meaningful History: Generates concise, structured commit messages automatically (feat, chore, fix) so your history remains readable.

Configuration

• autopilotGuard.autoCommit: Enable/Disable automatic commits for high-risk situations (Default: false).

Release & Deployment

This project includes automated workflows for CI/CD.

1. Continuous Integration

On every push to main or Pull Request, the CI workflow runs to:

• Install dependencies
• Compile TypeScript
• Run Tests

2. Automated Release & Publishing

To cut a new release (tag, GitHub Release, and VS Code Marketplace Publish):

1. Go to the Actions tab in GitHub.
2. Select Release & Publish.
3. Click Run workflow.
4. Choose the version bump type: patch, minor, or major.
5. Click Run workflow.

The automation will:

• Bump the version in package.json.
• Create a git tag (e.g., v0.0.2).
• Create a GitHub Release with auto-generated notes.
• Publish the extension to the VS Code Marketplace.

Prerequisites: You must add the following Secret to your GitHub Repository:

• VSCE_PAT: Your Personal Access Token from Azure DevOps (with Marketplace manage scope).

Minimizing lost work. Avoiding interruptions. Preferring action over nagging.
