Weekly digest reporter

Runs every Monday at 9am, reads your changelog and merged PRs from the last week, writes a concise digest, posts it to a Slack channel. No always-on process, no separate scheduler service. The schedule lives next to the agent.

How it works

cron trigger with schedule next to the agent

The trigger declares schedule: '0 9 * * MON' and points at the reporter agent. The runtime fires on the cron, runs the agent to completion, exits. No always-on process.

minimal tool surface

Web for fetching changelog, GitHub PAT for fetching merged PRs, Slack channel for posting. The agent sees only what it needs to do its job.

idempotent system prompt

The prompt instructs the agent to check whether this week's digest has already been posted before posting a new one. Belt-and-suspenders against accidental double-runs.
