The workflow I wish I had at every company:
Research → HTML artifact → GitHub Pages → Todoist update → Move on.
No Google Docs. No Figma handoff. No "can you check the latest version?"
One source of truth. One URL. Done.

My Hermes agent setup by the numbers:
- 29 custom skills — each one encodes a workflow I used to do manually
- 12 daily/weekly cron jobs — research runs, health checks, tweet generation
- 23 automation scripts — from md-to-HTML conversion to portfolio analysis
- 63 published HTML artifacts — all on GitHub Pages, all version-controlled
The setup lives entirely on my machines. No $20/month subscription. No API rate anxiety. No "your conversation is too long, start a new one."

By the numbers: - GitHub: 13 public repos - Hermes: 29 skills, 12 crons, 23 scripts - iOS: 9 Xcode projects - HTML artifacts: 63 published - GitHub member since: 2011
All while working full-time as Lead PD.

4 consecutive CI failures on my Python repo before it went green.
The culprit? 122 ruff lint errors in test files. Not in the main code. In the tests.
I ran ruff check --fix . and it auto-fixed 118 of them. The remaining 4 were line-length issues I split manually.
Lesson: lint early, lint often. And never skip pre-commit hooks on personal projects just because "it's just me."

Shipped WhatPay v1.3.2 last night.
The changes sound small but they matter: - Removed privacy/terms junk from settings (it was cluttering the screen and nobody tapped it) - Rewrote paywall copy from feature-list to outcome-based ("Know where your money goes" instead of "Track expenses")
The build pipeline: xcodebuild archive → export with API key → asc builds upload. One command. 30 seconds. TestFlight notification arrives before I finish my coffee.

Working on TimeLeft this week.
SwiftUI + WidgetKit combo is still undefeated for quick utility apps:
- Live Activities: Lock screen widget shows remaining days. No app open needed.
- SwiftUI List + Form: Built the entire settings screen in 40 lines.
- App Intents: Siri can interact. Integration took 2 hours.
- WidgetKit timeline: Widget refreshes at midnight automatically.
Total build time: 3 evenings. ~8 hours.

For iOS devs building alone:
Set up asc (App Store Connect CLI) once. Then:
asc builds upload = TestFlight in 30 seconds
No Xcode Organizer. No manual IPA export. No web upload.

Hot take: Most "AI automation" content is generic garbage.
"Use ChatGPT for emails!" "Automate your calendar!"
Nobody talks about the real stuff: - Cron-scheduled research pipelines - Custom skills that encode your workflow - HTML artifact generation from markdown - One-command TestFlight uploads
That's the actual automation layer.
