Design recurring Claude Code routines


What it does

Designs and builds Routines: named, repeatable Claude Code workflows that run on a schedule, on a trigger, or on demand, covering everything from "I don't know what to automate" through the actual build.

How it works

Two entry points. Recommend Mode for "I'm not sure what to build": five questions, one at a time, ending in two to three named routine suggestions with trigger type and setup complexity. Or straight into Discover for someone who already knows what they want.

Discover asks what the routine does, how it starts (schedule, event, or on-demand call), what apps it touches, what the output looks like, and whether it's solo or team use, then locks a one-sentence summary before moving to Design (a scannable plan: trigger, output, numbered steps, tools needed, setup prerequisites) and finally Build, one step at a time by routine type. Scheduled routines register via the scheduled-tasks tool, on-demand routines get written up as a new skill, event-triggered routines get wired through a connector.

Try it

I keep doing [task] manually and want it automated. Ask me one question at a time:
what should this routine do, how should it start (schedule, event, or on-demand), what
apps or info does it need, what should the output look like, and is this just for me or
does it need to work for a team? Once I confirm the plan, build it one step at a time.

When to reach for it

Anything recurring, a morning brief, a weekly recap, a standing check-in, that you're currently doing by re-typing the same prompt.
