Only when you ask.

The habit

Broken site adapters get fixed fast.

↻ Runs by itselfnightly adapter test

How the habit works.
You don't have to.

Three questionsWhen does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?

01

It starts by itself

nightly adapter test. Runs in Claude Code routine or cron.

  • ↻ nightly adapter test
  • 0 3 * * *

02

It checks its work

check, test, build pass. If a check fails, it tries again.

  • ✓opencli adapter check passes
  • ✓opencli adapter test passes for the repaired adapter
  • ✓typecheck passes
  • ✓build passes

03

It remembers

adapter failures and fixes. The next run reads it first: adapters that failed recently and why.

loops/opencli-adapter-repair-loop/run-log.md

One run, step by step.
Then it stops.

Stop ruleStops after 3 repaired adapters per run and 2 retries each; write adapters are never replayed.

  1. 01

    Test adapters

    Your agent runs opencli adapter test on each read adapter.

  2. 02

    Reuse first

    For a failure it checks with opencli list search whether another adapter covers the capability.

  3. 03

    Gather evidence

    It opens the site with opencli browser open and reads browser state and network captures.

  4. 04

    Repair

    It updates the adapter in clis/<site>/ and returns business data or a typed error with a hint.

  5. 05

    Check

    It runs opencli adapter check and opencli adapter test, with --trace retain-on-failure when needed.

  6. 06

    Build

    It runs focused tests, typecheck and build for repository changes.

  7. 07

    Log

    It writes the failure, the evidence and the fix to the run log.

What it may do.
Nothing more.

Safe by defaultIt writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.
