Daily Run Automations

Scripts that run periodically to keep the development loop operational.

Scripts

Script Source Purpose Trigger
cycle_retro.py ../../scripts/cycle_retro.py Log structured retrospective data Post-cycle
loop_guard.py ../../scripts/loop_guard.py Idle detection with exponential backoff Pre-cycle
triage_score.py ../../scripts/triage_score.py Mechanical issue scoring Every 10 cycles
orchestrator.py orchestrator.py The 10-minute ritual — Daily Run agenda + review Manual

Running

These scripts are invoked by the dev loop orchestrator (Hermes). Manual execution:

# After a successful cycle
python3 scripts/cycle_retro.py --cycle 42 --success --issue 123 --type bug

# Check if queue has work (exits 0 if ready, 1 if idle)
python3 scripts/loop_guard.py

# Score open issues
python3 scripts/triage_score.py

# Generate Daily Run agenda (10-minute ritual)
python3 timmy_automations/daily_run/orchestrator.py

# Generate agenda with day summary (review mode)
python3 timmy_automations/daily_run/orchestrator.py --review

# Output as JSON
python3 timmy_automations/daily_run/orchestrator.py --review --json

Daily Run Orchestrator

The orchestrator script connects to local Gitea and:

  1. Fetches candidate issues matching configured labels (default: daily-run + size:XS/size:S)
  2. Generates a concise agenda with up to 3 items for approximately 10 minutes of work
  3. Review mode (--review): Summarizes the last 24 hours — issues/PRs touched, items closed/merged, test failures

Configuration

Edit timmy_automations/config/daily_run.json under the orchestrator section:

{
  "orchestrator": {
    "candidate_labels": ["daily-run"],
    "size_labels": ["size:XS", "size:S"],
    "max_agenda_items": 3,
    "lookback_hours": 24,
    "agenda_time_minutes": 10
  }
}
Option Description Default
candidate_labels Labels to identify Daily Run candidates ["daily-run"]
size_labels Size labels to filter by ["size:XS", "size:S"]
max_agenda_items Maximum items in agenda 3
lookback_hours Hours to look back in review mode 24
