- Go developers building bounded scheduled agents
- Worth noticing
- Runs default to 20 steps and 10 minutes; each run also produces a JSON-line log.
Field notes
Agent configuration is presented as Go code rather than YAML, with tools defined as Go functions and model endpoints described as OpenAI-compatible. The examples include a scheduled Hacker News digest and an invoice-chasing agent; a run can send NOTHING when it has no result worth delivering. The page also says failed calls are retried and shows commands for running an agent once, serving its schedules, or inspecting its configuration as JSON.
