Run a routine end to end

Activate, run, and (optionally) schedule a routine from the IDE's Routines tab.

Preview — early access.

Overview

This is the short recipe for taking a routine from "listed in the catalog" to "actually ran, and maybe runs again on its own" — the mechanics live on Playbooks & routines; this page is the walkthrough.

Steps

  1. •

    Open the Routines tab

    It's in the IDE's tab strip.

  2. •

    Find the routine

    Browse by category, or check the Activated section if it's already on. Built-in routines are always active; everything else needs a toggle.

  3. •

    Activate it, if needed

    Click Activate on a marketplace routine — built-ins skip this step entirely.

  4. •

    Run the first step

    Click "Run now." If the step is tier 2 or higher, you'll get a confirmation prompt with the step's description before it actually runs.

  5. •

    Work through the rest

    Each following step unlocks once the one before it succeeds — run them in order, reading the inline output as you go.

  6. •

    Schedule it, if it has a cron trigger

    Click the routine's cron chip to copy a ready-made /schedule command, and hand it to the scheduler for a recurring run.

Capabilities

  • One tab, full lifecycle — activate, run, and schedule without leaving the Routines tab.
  • Risk-tier confirmation built in — nothing tier 2+ runs silently.
  • Inline output per step — pass/fail and the actual output text, not just a checkmark.

Limits & honest scope

  • Steps run strictly in order; you can't skip to step 3 before steps 1 and 2 succeed.
  • Some steps are marked "Coming soon" — the routine is defined but that step's script isn't wired yet.
  • Scheduling copies a command for you to hand to the scheduler — it doesn't register the schedule automatically from this tab.
