SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automate eliminates manual, repetitive developer workflows by discovering existing runners and generating safe, idempotent automation for scheduled jobs, webhooks, CI workflows, and task runner targets so teams spend less time on operational toil.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discovery-first generation: Detects existing Makefiles, Taskfiles, npm scripts, and CI configs before adding new artifacts to avoid duplication.
  • Scheduling & Webhooks: Produces cron/k8s CronJob schedules with lock files and webhook handlers with signature verification and fast acknowledgements.
  • CI & Task Runners: Generates GitHub Actions workflows with pinned versions, timeouts, permission scoping, and Makefile/Taskfile targets with dry-run and logging support.
  • Safety & Reliability: Enforces error handling, idempotency, dry-run modes, secrets injection, logging, concurrency guards, and automatic validation before keeping changes.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to "automate this: add a nightly scheduled job to run tests and create a GitHub Actions workflow that runs tests on push and on schedule".

Frequently Asked Questions about automate

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a GitHub Actions workflow that runs tests on push and on a schedule?

You can generate a GitHub Actions workflow that runs tests on push and on schedule. The automation includes pinned action versions, timeouts, and permission scoping to ensure reliable and secure CI execution.

What is the best way to add a nightly scheduled job with a cron schedule to my code repository?

The best way to add a nightly scheduled job is using a cron schedule with a lock file. This ensures the task is idempotent, prevents overlapping executions, and includes error handling with logging for reliable nightly automation.

How do I set up a webhook handler with signature verification and fast acknowledgements?

Setting up a webhook handler with signature verification involves validating incoming payloads before processing. The automation generates handlers that quickly acknowledge requests and securely inject secrets to trigger downstream dev tasks reliably.

Can I generate Makefile and npm script targets that support dry-run and logging?

Yes, you can generate Makefile or npm script targets with dry-run and logging support. The process detects existing task runners to avoid duplication and enforces error handling and idempotency for safe, repeatable execution.

Does task runner automation work with existing Makefiles and Taskfiles without creating duplicates?

Task runner automation works with existing Makefiles and Taskfiles by using discovery-first generation. It detects current CI configs and scripts before adding new artifacts, ensuring no duplicate targets are created in your repository.

Why do my scheduled cron jobs overlap or fail silently without lock files?

Scheduled cron jobs overlap or fail silently without lock files because they lack concurrency guards and proper error handling. Adding lock files and automatic validation ensures idempotent execution and prevents silent failures in nightly jobs.
