How we went from a one-off ping to a nightly, varied, almost-autonomous reminder flow inside ChatGPT, and the three agent patterns you can use to build it — complete with runnable code.

I’m advocate of automatization, and that includes not only CI/CD pipelines, but also I wanted to do it for documentation publishing. Mafalda is split in a lot of packages (currently more than 30!), so I wanted to have a single place where to publish the documentation of all of them. Github Pages allows to host a website for your organization or username by free (this blog and personal site already makes use of it), and it can also host automatically a website for each repository as sub-paths of your username/organization main website. Problem is, that it only works for open source repositories or for paid plans, and most of the Mafalda SFU repositories are private ones. So since the Mafalda SFU project website is already hosted on Github Pages as a public repository, I decided to store and serve from it all the other repositories documentation as well… doing it in an automated way :-)

projectlint is a projects-wide linter and style checker I’ve been working on during the last weeks. As part of its set of rules, one of them ensures that the current version of the operating system where the code is running is maintained and updated. But, is there a npm package with info about the operating systems lifecycles? Nope… enter OS lifecycle.
