The AI works through my easy chores list on its own

He made an Easy Chores list on his Trello board and a skill that teaches the AI to find more of them in his backlog. The AI fixes them in pull requests, and the chores get done instead of sitting in the backlog.

How it works

  1. Adds an Easy Chores list to his Trello board
  2. Writes a skill that teaches the AI what counts as an easy chore
  3. The AI scans the backlog and files matching cards
  4. The AI fixes them in pull requests up to a set limit
  5. When he merges one, the AI starts the next

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent does not just fix chores. It hunts the backlog for new ones that match his own definition of easy.
