Routines on Desktop
automate the daily refresh · your state file writes itself overnight.
Module 02 gave you a Team Brain. Module 03 keeps it current without anyone having to type. Three scheduled routines — one nightly, one Sunday, one Friday — that read yesterday's PRs, Jira changes, standup notes, and the team's signal channels and write back to state-shared.md and decisions.md.
The artifacts are the same four files from Module 02. What's new is the schedule layer. Runs three ways:
- Hosted (cloud-scheduled) — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google run the schedule for you. Best for: Claude Routines, ChatGPT Tasks, Gemini Scheduled Actions.
- Self-hosted scheduler — cron, Task Scheduler, launchd, or GitHub Actions kicks a CLI agent. Best for teams that need filesystem write or have data-residency constraints.
- Manual ritual with a template pack — the steward runs a saved morning brief and Friday sync prompt by hand. The agent does 90% of the work; the schedule is the steward's calendar.
You wake up to a Team Brain that's already current. The Friday Sync from Module 02 becomes a 3-minute "approve drafts" pass instead of 15 minutes of typing.
