The Autonomous Stack Documentation

The Autonomous Stack bundles self-hosted agent packs: small systems you can deploy on your own VM, with a deterministic core and an optional BYO-LLM mode when a compatible CLI is connected.

Get started

This first docs surface stays intentionally minimal. It is a stable entry point to install a pack, understand the bring-your-own-LLM mode, and get back to the files shipped inside each archive.

• Deploy a pack in one command Debian/Ubuntu install with sudo bash install.sh, systemd service, and optional BYO-LLM.

Guides

Practical answers to common questions, with what you can do yourself and the packs that automate it.

• How do I automate a release GO/NO-GO decision from CI evidence? Learn how to turn test results, risks, licenses, flaky tests and LLM eval scores into a replayable GO/NO-GO release decision with named owners and waivers.
• How do I deploy a self-hosted AI agent on Debian or Ubuntu as a systemd service? Learn how to run a self-hosted AI agent on Debian or Ubuntu as a systemd service: install script, unit file, offline tests, an LLM CLI without API key, retries.
• How an AI agent pays for a download over x402 (a real example) Step by step: an AI agent requests a file, gets HTTP 402, signs a USDC authorization on Base and retries. Real headers from a live x402 seller you can inspect.
• How do I reconcile payments against invoices automatically? Learn matching rules to reconcile payments against invoices automatically, verify each receipt before closing an invoice, and catch usage and renewal gaps.
• How do I redact PII and secrets from LLM prompts and logs? Learn how to strip emails, card numbers, API keys and tokens from LLM prompts and logs, what to log instead, and how to flag prompt injection before it runs.
• How do I triage my inbox with a self-hosted LLM? Learn how to triage email on your own machine: deterministic rules first, an LLM only for ambiguous mail, human-approved drafts, audit logs and privacy.
• How do I set up self-hosted uptime monitoring with automatic restart on a Linux VM? Learn how to watch services on a Linux VM with systemd, HTTP and TCP probes, restart them without flapping, open incident tickets and catch slow drift early.
• How do I summarize long PDF reports locally with an LLM? Learn to summarize long PDF reports on your own machine: extract text to JSON, pull facts with rules, chunk text and get a structured brief from a local LLM.

Principles

Recent packs document the same contract: one-shot install, offline tests, example configuration files, an llm_adapter.py adapter, and versioned prompts when an LLM is useful.

No LLM API key is embedded in the packs. When a pack supports BYO-LLM mode, it relies on the CLI you already have connected, such as Claude Code, Kimi Code, or Codex.
