Draft weekly release notes
Every Friday at 2pm, draft release notes from merged PRs into releases/DRAFT.md and verify all links resolve.
/schedule every Friday at 2pm, draft release notes from the PRs merged since the last draft: group changes into features, fixes, and docs, write one plain-English line per change with the PR link, and save to releases/DRAFT.md. Draft only — a human edits and publishes; never post or send anywhere. Verify every PR link resolves and every merged PR since the last run is covered before saving. Stop after 1 pass per run.
Codex CLI as an MCP Tool Inside an Agents-SDK Loop
An outer-planner/inner-coder loop from an official OpenAI recipe: an Agents SDK orchestrator plans and verifies while Codex CLI, wrapped as an MCP server, performs one bounded code change per turn.
Wrap Codex CLI as an MCP server and drive it from an OpenAI Agents SDK orchestrator loop — the outer agent plans/verifies, the inner Codex call does one bounded code change per turn.
Guardrails: Stop when the goal is verifiably met, or stop after 15 iterations, whichever comes first. Verify each pass by running the relevant tests or checks — self-reported success does not count. Keep changes minimal and never touch files outside the task’s scope.
claude-progress.txt harness pattern (Anthropic)
Anthropic's first-party file-as-memory harness for long-running agents: every fresh-context session recovers state from a progress file and the git log, does one unit of work, updates the file, commits, and exits.
Long-running agent harness: each fresh-context session starts by reading `claude-progress.txt` + git log to recover state, does one unit of work, updates the progress file, commits, exits. Initializer session sets up the file; coder sessions loop.
