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

plugin code changed. Runs in Claude Code routine or GitHub Actions.

  • ↻ plugin code changed
  • push to plugin repository

02

It checks its work

typecheck, tests, build. If a check fails, it tries again.

  • ✓pnpm typecheck passes
  • ✓pnpm test passes
  • ✓pnpm build passes
  • ✓plugin status is ready in paperclipai plugin inspect

03

It remembers

success checklist. The next run reads it first: last install status, lastError and reload limits.
