Automations
An automation is a prompt an agent gets on a schedule, each run in a session of its own, kept and run by the host’s daemon whether or not an app is connected (core/automation, daemon/automation.go). Weekday triage of new issues, a nightly dependency update, a weekly summary of what changed.
They are added, changed, turned on and off, run now and removed in Settings → Automations (for the connected host), or with the command line (cli.md):
enowx-app automation add --name "Weekday triage" --schedule "weekdays 09:00" --agent codex --branch "Triage the issues opened since yesterday"
enowx-app automations
enowx-app automation run "Weekday triage"| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Schedule | hourly (or hourly :15), daily 09:00, weekdays 18:30, weekly mon 08:00, in the host’s time. |
| Project, agent, prompt | What runs, where. |
| A new branch each run | automation/<name>-<date>-<time>, in a worktree of its own, so runs don’t touch each other or the user’s work; otherwise the project folder. |
| Skip permission prompts | Nobody may be there to answer them. |
The daemon keeps them in ~/.enowx-app/automations.json and looks for those due every 20 seconds; one it was down for runs once when it is back. Each records its last run, its session or why it failed, and its next run.
