What's in it

Eight questions, one for each stage of the job.

Walk your current setup (DIY cron script, Claude Code Routine, Codex/Cursor Automation, n8n + LLM hybrid, or a hand-rolled orchestrator) against the eight stages of getting repeatable work done by an unattended agent.

  1. the reviewer01DefineIs the agent's role written down somewhere it survives a fresh session?
  2. the operator02LocateAre your tools, secrets, and data sources wired to the agent, or rebuilt every project?
  3. the scheduler03PrepareDoes the agent have durable memory across runs, or is it a memory.md file?
  4. the responder04ConfirmIs there a cost ceiling per run, visible before the bill arrives?
  5. the watcher05ExecuteDoes the run survive a container restart, or do you start over?
  6. the watcher06MonitorCan you see what the agent did, step by step: tool calls, action calls, interactions?
  7. the responder07ModifyIs the human approval a Slack-button kludge, or a peer step type the run waits on?
  8. the operator08ConcludeAre outputs saved as artifacts and is the environment cleaned up automatically?
Plus the five named pains

Has one of these happened to you in the last 90 days?

If yes, the checklist will tell you which stage of the job your setup is missing, and what a runtime would do about it.

  • Cost runaway from retry loops.
  • Silent overnight failures that look green.
  • HITL approval that lives in someone's DMs.
  • Lock-in to a single model vendor.
  • Container crashes that lose the run.
