04·Routines
Let the work keep moving.
The work starts on time
Set the rhythm once. Fractal brings the right agent in when the work is due.
4.1
The work continues
Define the cadence once. Fractal wakes the right agent when the clock says so.
Stay in control
Routines stay inspectable — turn them off when the ritual isn’t needed, without deleting the contract.
Respond when something changes
When something changes, the workspace can respond. Fractal keeps the next step close to the signal that started it.
4.2
Cron
Every day · 23:00 — Nightly Audit
Activity
task.status_changed → Task Planning
Webhook
POST /hooks/routines/comment-triage
Start when the world changes
When a task enters suggestion or a comment lands, a routine can plan, triage, or notify the right agent.
Bring outside signals in
Outside systems can ask Fractal to act — still inside the same history and clear boundaries.
Give every routine a teammate
Every routine has a clear owner and a clear boundary. Agents can keep the work moving without making the system mysterious.

Know who is responsible
Atlas plans, Orion implements, Veda documents — routines inherit the same roster discipline as tasks.
Keep the boundaries clear
Timeouts, retries, and scope keep loops from becoming recursive self-modification.
Know what happened
Every run leaves a simple record of what happened, what worked, and where you may need to step in.
4.4
Time-based schedules for recurring rituals.
React to workspace events as they happen.
Let external systems trigger workspace work.
Inspect outcomes, failures, and timing.
Save your attention for what needs you
If it should happen every night, every status change, or every outside event — make it a routine, not another mental tab.
