Watch my other agents and email me when one of them fails to send

Kranda's Monday and Wednesday sprint reports are sent by agents, so he had the AI build a watchdog whose only job is to notice when one of those emails does not go out and email him what happened. He says the watchdog exists mainly because the AI’s device permission issues make silent failures a real risk.

How it works

Monitor whether the scheduled sprint emails were sent
Detect a missed send
Email the owner what happened

Why it’s worth knowing

The most honest item on his list is an agent whose entire job is catching the other agents failing — because a scheduled agent's worst failure mode is silence.
