Run one coding-agent goal per night, then force a morning report
Comprehensive_Toe743 · reddit · 2026-08-04
A Reddit post proposes a simple overnight workflow for coding agents: run one goal per night on a throwaway branch, cap spend, keep logs, and always require a morning report.
- The prompt defines a single target, scope, baseline and goal state.
- The agent must respect the public API, test suite, and no-push constraints.
- The author emphasizes that the report is mandatory: without it, the result is just a diff and a guess.
- The post invites others to share what they task overnight agents with and what the next morning looks like.
