Run my coding tasks overnight and report pass or fail

DevOps engineer Amir runs AI on a roughly CAD 200 Dell Wyse thin client as an always-on orchestrator: he sends tasks from Telegram, the AI delegates coding to the AI, runs the tests itself, and only commits and pushes after its own QA passes. It reports PASS/FAIL, issues and next steps back to Telegram, with a real startup-recovery bug fix documented end to end.

How it works

  1. Send a short task prompt via Telegram
  2. The AI checks repo and branch
  3. Launches the AI to implement
  4. The AI runs tests and verifies against the request
  5. On failure, hands evidence back for another attempt
  6. Commits only after PASS
  7. Pushes the branch
  8. Reports PASS/FAIL to Telegram

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent that checks the work is a different layer from the agent that writes the code.

Upgraded prompt

A ready-to-use prompt for this idea, built from research on what makes AI agents do the job right: who the AI should be, the exact steps, and a check to make sure it was done the way you wanted.
