Implementation notes

  • Use this Guides & Tutorials doc as a navigation page first: the local clone mirrors the source structure and links each heading back to the authoritative upstream section.
  • Primary decision areas: When to Use It, Create One from Chat, Example transcript, What the agent decides for you, Managing watchdogs from chat. Read those source anchors before changing installs, credentials, automation, or runtime configuration.
  • Useful search signals for this doc: script-only, script, sometimes, already, exactly. These are derived from the public title and summary so the clone remains lightweight.

Decision table

Best fitGuides & Tutorials documentation

Use when you need orientation for script-only cron jobs (no llm) before applying exact upstream commands.

Verify firstWhen to Use It

Open the source anchor for When to Use It and confirm platform-specific requirements before changing configuration.

Escalate to sourceCommands, credentials, runtime behavior

Use the upstream page as the authority for current syntax, release changes, and security-sensitive steps.

Verification checklist

  1. Use this page to orient yourself within Guides & Tutorials, then open the linked source page for exact current syntax.
  2. Start with the source section for When to Use It; do not rely on the local summary for commands or secrets.
  3. Check platform, install method, provider, and credential assumptions before changing a real environment.
  4. Review the source section for Create One from Chat if the page involves setup, automation, messaging, or runtime behavior.
  5. After applying anything from the source, run the smallest relevant smoke test before widening scope.

Risk notes

Automation

Start with a bounded dry run, logs, and a manual stop path before enabling recurring or unattended execution.

External messages

Keep human review before sending public posts, customer messages, trading instructions, or team notifications.

Model spend

Set provider, token, and retry limits before scaling the workflow beyond a single test run.
