What problem does it solve?
ACE requires a consistent, repeatable process to handle all incoming work (emails, task board items) without missing steps or dropping tasks under load, which manual handling cannot guarantee at scale.
Core Features & Use Cases
- End-to-end turn orchestration: Automates the full work turn workflow from preflight system checks to final close-out reporting, ensuring no steps are skipped.
- Tiered inbox processing: Triages incoming emails by sender tier (act, correspond, read-only), routes threads to the correct ACE run, and gates all outbound replies for human approval before sending.
- Continuous improvement tracking: Explicitly checks for new skills created or repeated manual work that should be automated, and files GitHub issues for confirmed defects to improve the ACE system over time.
- Use Case: When a team member triggers ACE to "do a turn", this skill ensures every inbound email and canopy-web task is processed consistently, all outbound actions are properly approved, and the team gets a full summary of what was handled, what's blocked, and what needs attention.
Quick Start
Trigger ACE to process its full inbound work turn by instructing it to run a turn, and it will automatically handle preflight checks, task board draining, inbox triage, and close-out reporting with all required guardrails.
