Automation
Nudge stale tasks
Find tasks that stopped moving and ask the one useful question.
What it asks you for
- Runsrequired
- When it checks.
- Stale after
- How long counts as stopped.
What it tells the AI to do
Set up a stale-task nudge.
- Stale after: {{ stale | default("10 days with no update") }}
- Runs: {{ schedule.human }} ({{ schedule.timezone }}), cron `{{ schedule.cron }}`
Create it with `automation create`, passing the cron and timezone verbatim.
Each run, find tasks that have not moved and ask ONE question per task: is this
still happening? Offer the three answers that resolve it (still on it, drop it,
hand it over) so replying is a click rather than a paragraph.
Group by owner so nobody gets five separate nudges, and never nudge the same
task twice in a row without escalating the question. A nudge that repeats
identically is a nudge that has learned nothing from being ignored.- automation
