A Monday digest of what shipped and what is waiting

Walk into Monday knowing what happened last week. A deputy collects the merged pull requests, the pull requests that are waiting, and the open bugs, and sends them to you as one short message.

How it works

  • Trigger. A weekly schedule, for example Monday at 08:00 in your time zone.
  • What the run does. It reads your repositories through GitHub and writes a short digest.
  • Who is contacted. The deputy’s owner gets the digest as a heads-up. It appears on Home, and as a Slack message from the Marshal bot when your admin has connected Slack and you have linked your account.
  • What you see. One message every Monday with links.

Set it up

  1. Connect GitHub. See Connect GitHub.
  2. Create a manifest with the packages claude-code and github.
  3. Open Deputies, select New deputy, and fill in Name, Description, Manifest and Owner.
  4. In the deputy, select New mission. Paste the prompt below into Prompt, select Dry run, then Activate.
  5. Expand the mission. In the Triggers list, select Schedule.
  6. Set Repeats to weekly, On to Monday, At to 08:00, and pick your Timezone. Or select Advanced and enter 0 8 * * 1 in Cron expression.
  7. Select Create.

What you should see: the schedule in the trigger list with its next run time and an on badge.

Example mission prompt

Write the weekly engineering digest for acme/web and acme/api.

1. List the pull requests merged in the last 7 days.
2. List open pull requests that have had no activity for 3 days or more.
3. List open issues labeled bug.
4. Send me a heads-up with three short sections: Shipped, Waiting,
   Bugs. Use one line per item, each with a link. Start with a
   one-sentence summary.

Make it yours

  • Put the repository list and the format you like in the deputy’s Context. Use Memory for last week’s numbers, so the digest can compare weeks.
  • Send it Friday afternoon instead with 0 16 * * 5.
  • Add your own sections, for example releases cut this week.
