Night Desk
Every weekday at 06:31 New York, a Claude cloud routine writes a pre-open NASDAQ brief. The design is the part I care about. Every job reads and writes one shared memory, an Obsidian vault in a git repo, so the writer sees its own past calls and the rules that grew out of them. A separate routine scores yesterday’s forecasts after the open, so the writer never grades itself. The brief ships with a machine-readable sidecar, so the dashboard renders from a contract, not from scraping prose. Three more routines redesign that dashboard: a plan on Sunday, a shipped change every night, a grade before morning. A Saturday retro reviews the seams between all of them.
