SHAPE · 05 · AUTOMATION

Workflow automation.

Job runners, schedulers, and event-driven pipelines. Claude makes the judgment calls; cron, queues, and webhooks do the moving. Designed to run unattended for weeks at a time.

the spec

What we actually ship.

01 / 04
01 · AUTOMATION

Triggers you trust

Cron, webhooks, queue events, file drops — pick the trigger shape that matches the work. Idempotent by default; replay-safe on retry.

02 · AUTOMATION

Claude in the loop

Where the work needs judgment — classification, summarization, extraction — Claude steps in. Where it doesn't, plain code runs.

03 · AUTOMATION

Observable + alertable

Run logs, latency, error rates, retry queues. When a run breaks at 3am, you'll know by 3:01.

04 · AUTOMATION

Bounded cost

Token budgets per run, hard caps per day, kill-switch on the dashboard. No surprise invoices from the model provider.

architecture

How it fits together.

The skeleton we reach for first. We bend it to your stack; we don't bend your stack to it.

fit

Who this is for.

03 / 04
FIT · YES

You are —

  • Doing the same back-office workflow many times a day, and the steps are mostly the same.
  • Comfortable with retries, replays, and a queue you can pause when something looks wrong.
  • Willing to define a clear "done" state we can check programmatically.
FIT · NO

You are not —

  • Looking for a no-code Zapier replacement — automation here means custom code in your repo.
  • Running one-off ad-hoc work — that's a copilot, not a runner.
  • Without a way to monitor a long-running system once we hand it off.
