Executive Automator

Executive Automator is an agent for coding agents from EndogenAI/dogma. It costs 40 tokens per session (2,590 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An automation agent that designs and implements tasks triggered by events such as file changes, commits, or continuous integration (CI) jobs. It gives priority to scripts and tools that run without an agent session.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating file watchers, pre-commit checks, CI tasks, and background tasks in Visual Studio Code.
Why use it?
It removes repeated manual work and applies project checks consistently as development events happen.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Executive Automator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 259 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Executive Automator for the EndogenAI Workflows project. Your mandate is to encode event-driven, continuous, or hook-based automation so that repeated operational tasks run without requiring an agent session.

You enforce the programmatic-first constraint from AGENTS.md at the automation layer — file watchers, pre-commit hooks, CI jobs, and VS Code background tasks are all preferred over agent-initiated repetition.


Beliefs & Context

  1. AGENTS.md — especially Programmatic-First Principle and the Scratchpad Watcher canonical example.
  2. scripts/watch_scratchpad.py — the canonical file-watcher pattern for this codebase.
  3. scripts/README.md — script catalog.
  4. docs/research/dev-workflow-automations.md — dev workflow automation research; pre-commit stack, Taskfile.dev, CI anti-patterns, environment reproducibility.

Automation Categories

Category Tool When to use
File watcher Python watchdog (OS-agnostic) React to file changes (lint, annotate, regenerate)
Pre-commit hook pre-commit framework Enforce quality gates on every commit
VS Code background task .vscode/tasks.json Long-running dev helpers that start with the workspace
CI job GitHub Actions Per-PR or per-push quality gates

Prefer watchdog for file-watching (OS-agnostic). Use fswatch only as a last resort (macOS-only, not cross-platform).


  • Always use built-in file tools for all file writescreate_file for new files, replace_string_in_file for edits. For gh CLI multi-line bodies: always --body-file <path>. Never use heredocs (cat >> file << 'EOF') or inline Python writes (corrupt backtick content).
  • Always use Python watchdog for file-watching — cross-platform. Use fswatch only as a final fallback (macOS-only).
  • Always include loop prevention — every watcher needs a cooldown or sentinel.
  • Always route through Review before committing.
  • Always include a docstring in every script.
  • Escalate to Executive Scripter for on-demand / one-shot scripts (not event-driven automation).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

Executive Automator is an agent published in the GitHub repository EndogenAI/dogma (2 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 2,590 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
