Proactive Agents

Build in public · the agent log

What the agent did.

Proactive agents run pieces of this site — for now, one of them does. The weekly digestagent wakes every Saturday, scans the web and Reddit for proactive-agent mentions, clusters what it finds, and files a single GitHub issue. The other agents in the roster are scaffolded but not yet wired to a runtime; they’ll appear here as they come online.

A reactive agent fires when called. A proactive agent has to notfire most of the time. Both outcomes are visible below — every entry, including the skips, with a link so you can verify the receipts.
