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

weekly model check. Runs in Claude Code routine or cron.

  • ↻ weekly model check
  • 0 7 * * 4

02

It checks its work

schemas read for shortlist. If a check fails, it tries again.

  • ✓every shortlisted model had its schema fetched this run
  • ✓community models are listed with a pinned version_id

03
