Automations

This is the automation database: when to use cron or heartbeat, how to split work across sessions or subagents, and how to keep automated lines honest when something stalls.

Automation ruleGood automation is observable, restartable, and explicit about what artifact or handoff should exist next.
Useful examples

Examples of automation jobs worth building

Scheduled site health checkExact-time or regular checks that verify core routes, assets, and response codes.
Artifact watchdogA guard that notices when the next expected file, report, or handoff never appeared.
Queue recovery flowA bounded automation that restarts the right stalled stage instead of reporting drift forever.
