Automations

Why Automations in Nimbalyst?

Some AI work should happen repeatedly without spinning up a new session every time. Automations lets you define those routines in markdown and schedule them inside your workspace.

Key Features

• Markdown automation files — Store recurring workflows as plain files in your project.
• Scheduled execution — Run repeatable AI tasks on a recurring cadence.
• Built-in automation tools — List, create, and run automations from the agent.
• Workspace-native — Keep scheduled work alongside plans, docs, and the files it affects.

Use Cases

• Routine reviews — Re-check a changelog, docs folder, or issue queue every week.
• Status generation — Produce recurring summaries for ongoing work.
• Maintenance tasks — Refresh derived content or run repeatable AI cleanup workflows.

How It Works

Define an automation in markdown under nimbalyst-local/automations/, then use the automation tools to create, inspect, and run it. Nimbalyst uses those files as the durable source of truth for scheduled AI work.
