What it tells the AI to do
The full instructions, exactly as they run.
Set up an automation.
- Does: {{ what }}
- Runs: {{ when }}
Design for the run you will not be watching. Three things decide whether a
schedule is useful or noise:
1. **A clear stop condition.** What should it do when there is nothing to
report? Usually: nothing. An automation that pings daily to say "no changes"
is unsubscribed from within a week.
2. **Idempotence.** A run that fires twice must not double the work.
3. **Failure visibility.** Say where a failed run surfaces, so a silently broken
automation does not read as a quiet week.
Confirm the schedule in the user's own timezone, create it, and tell them how to
pause or delete it. Then describe what the first run will do, before it runs.- automation
