Creating Routines

Routines are automated tasks that run on a schedule — daily financial snapshots, community pulses, email triage, and more. Use the create-routine skill to generate everything you need.

​
Quick Start

Just say:
or describe what you want:
Claude walks you through the setup.

​
What the Skill Asks

The create-routine skill collects four things:
  1. What — What should the routine do? (e.g., “Check competitor pricing pages and summarize changes”)
  2. Which agent — Who runs it? (e.g., Sage for strategy, Pulse for community)
  3. When — Schedule in cron format or natural language (e.g., “every weekday at 9am”, “Mondays and Fridays at 8:30”)
  4. Output — Where does the result go? (e.g., HTML report, markdown log, Telegram notification)

​
What Gets Generated

After you answer, the skill creates:

​
1. Python Script

Located at ADWs/routines/custom/<name>.py:

​
2. YAML Entry

Added to config/routines.yaml:

​
Example: Daily Competitor Check

Here’s the full walkthrough: You: “I want to automate a daily competitor check” Claude: “What exactly should this routine check?” You: “Monitor competitor websites for pricing changes, new features, and blog posts. Compare against our positioning.” Claude: “Which agent should run it? I’d suggest Sage since this is strategic intelligence.” You: “Yes, Sage.” Claude: “When should it run?” You: “Every weekday at 9am” Claude: “Where should the output go?” You: “HTML report in the strategy folder, plus a Telegram summary” Claude then generates the script and YAML entry. Routines are discovered dynamically — no Makefile changes needed. Test it immediately:

Testing

After creation, test your routine:

​
Managing Routines

  • Edit schedule: Update the entry in config/routines.yaml
  • Disable: Set enabled: false or remove the YAML entry
  • View metrics: make metrics shows token usage and cost per routine
  • Scheduler: make scheduler runs all routines on their configured schedules

​
One-Off Actions

If you need to run something once at a specific time (not recurring), use Scheduled Tasks instead. Say “schedule this for Friday at 10am” or use the schedule-task skill.
