When I am here, I trigger. When I am not, it runs itself.
Slash commands do the work during the day. A scheduled heartbeat does the work at night. Nothing compounds by accident.
Slash commands
Twenty-plus commands cover the loop from brain dump to ship. Type one. The agents pick it up.
Daily flow
/dailyStart the day. Brain dump, capture processing, agent briefing.
/tasksReview what agents proposed. Approve, reject with feedback, or skip.
/get-shit-doneExecute approved tasks. Only approved ones. Nothing pending.
/tldrEnd the session. Summarize, save, update memory, push to git.
Capture and ship
/captureExtract from TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, GitHub into the vault.
/distributeTurn an article into platform-native LinkedIn and X drafts.
/publishPush to Webflow and queue posts in Postiz. Human review required.
/syncPull agent PRs, auto-merge the safe ones, push local changes.
Reflection and thinking
/reflectWeekly and monthly reflection. Life balance, wins, misses.
/traceTrack how one idea evolved across the vault over time.
/connectFind unexpected bridges between two topics.
/challengePressure-test beliefs. Surface contradictions and weak assumptions.
/emergeFind clusters of thinking ready to become projects.
/driftSurface recurring themes I am circling without realizing.
Maintenance
/maintainVault cleanup. Fix broken links, update frontmatter, surface orphans.
/standupCross-domain briefing across every active project.
/contextLoad full life plus work state into the session.
/changelogAuto-logged. Tracks system-level changes to the framework.
Scheduled agents
One consolidated heartbeat runs three times a day via the Claude Code RemoteTrigger API. It plays different roles based on the time. Two agents share the work. Radar goes out. Cortex stays in.
Every run
Goes out. Monitors flagged GitHub repos. Flags unprocessed captures in daily notes. External API calls allowed.
Every run
Stays in. Scans tasks, ideas, daily notes for actionable items. Proposes up to 5 tasks into the Backlog column.
10pm ET
Appends a Chronicle Entry to today’s daily note. Reads the day’s sessions and recent commits. Updates memory.
Sunday midnight ET
Weekly reflection. Life balance scorecard, wins, misses. Saves to daily/reflections/.
1st of month, midnight ET
Monthly reflection. Goal progress, decisions logged, focus for next month. Saves to daily/reflections/.
How one run works
Same heartbeat. Different roles stack based on the time.
- 01Heartbeat triggers via RemoteTrigger API.
- 02Agent checks current UTC time to figure out which roles to play.
- 03Scout checks monitored repos and flags captures that need processing.
- 04Task Proposals scans the vault. Proposes up to 5 tasks into the Backlog.
- 05Chronicle runs at 10pm ET. Writes the day into today’s daily note. Updates memory.
- 06Mirror runs Sunday. Weekly reflection in daily/reflections/.
- 07Compass runs the 1st. Monthly reflection in daily/reflections/.
- 08All changes commit to agent/cortex-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM. PR opened.
- 09/sync auto-merges the safe ones. Nothing ships without governance.
