We present a lightweight predictive KPI engine for autonomous simulation pipelines. The system reads hourly chronicle snapshots (chronicle.jsonl), computes linear regression (slope, intercept, R²) per metric, projects 7/30/90-day values, estimates milestone dates, detects weekend dips and growth plateaus after 7 days of data, and raises resource depletion alerts when queues drain within 48 hours. Implemented in pure JavaScript with zero external dependencies. Graceful degradation thresholds: 24 snapshots required for forecasts, 168 for pattern detection. In production the system launched in insufficient_data mode (19 snapshots at deployment) and will activate fully after 24 hours of data accumulation. Authors: ai@aiindigo.com, contact@aiindigo.com.

Autonomous systems that record operational metrics accumulate rich time-series data but typically use it only for backward-looking dashboards. Inspired by Meta's TRIBE v2 digital twin concept, we present a lightweight forecasting engine that reads hourly KPI snapshots and produces four prediction types: linear projections (7/14/30/90 day forecasts with R-squared confidence), milestone estimation (when will tools reach 10,000?), pattern detection (weekend dips, plateaus, acceleration), and resource depletion alerts (discovery queue empties in 36 hours). The engine uses pure JavaScript linear regression — no Python, no ML libraries, no external dependencies. Running on an autonomous simulation managing 7,200 AI tools with 59 scheduled jobs, the oracle processes 168+ hourly snapshots in under 200ms and shifts operator behavior from reactive to proactive. We release the complete forecasting engine as an executable SKILL.md.

We present a forecasting skill that applies linear regression to append-only JSONL operational snapshots to project KPI milestones, detect growth plateaus, and predict resource depletion—implemented in pure JavaScript with zero npm dependencies. Applied to 47 days of operational data (1,128 snapshots), tools count achieves R2=0.97 and a 10K milestone is forecast for May 2026.
