Automation Tasks

Overview

The Automation feature lets you schedule agent workflows on a timer, enabling automated AI workflows. Today, Claude Code has the most complete automation support, while broader agent coverage is still being expanded.

Tech Stack

Component	Description
Celery	Distributed task queue
Redis	Broker + backend
Celery Beat	Scheduled tasks
Flower	Task monitoring UI

Creating an Automation Task

Create tasks from the frontend Automation Dashboard:

1. Pick a target workspace
2. Set a cron expression (schedule)
3. Enter an agent prompt, workflow draft, or execution command
4. Choose the permission mode
5. Save and enable

Cron Expressions

Standard cron format:

# min hour day month weekday
0 9 * * 1-5    # 9am every weekday
*/30 * * * *   # Every 30 minutes
0 0 * * 0      # Midnight every Sunday

Task Monitoring

Flower UI

http://localhost:5555

Flower provides:

• Real-time task execution state
• Execution history
• Worker status
• Task retry

API

# List automation tasks
GET /api/v1/automation/tasks

# List runs for a specific task
GET /api/v1/automation/tasks/{task_id}/runs

# Manually trigger a task
POST /api/v1/automation/tasks/{task_id}/trigger

Use Cases

• Daily code review: schedule Claude to review newly committed code
• Documentation updates: automatically update API docs or README
• Test runs: periodically run the test suite and report results
• Code refactoring: periodically optimize a specific module
• Changelog generation: organize git log into release notes

Current Status

Automation currently works best with Claude Code workflows. As the platform fills out OpenCode, Gemini, and Codex integrations, more cross-agent automation scenarios will be added over time.
