Ops Automation Health Check

Automation inventory audited, credentials and integrations verified, safe patches applied, and external side effects gated before close

Monthly ops review, before patching scheduled jobs/integrations, or when an automation silently fails

Outcome: Automation inventory audited, credentials and integrations verified, safe patches applied, and external side effects gated before close

  • Area: Operations
  • Time savings: Typical run: 60-90 minutes, single session
  • Try it: Monthly ops review, before patching scheduled jobs/integrations, or when an automation silently fails
  • Frequency: 60-90 minutes, single session

Inputs

  • 📋 Current scheduled jobs manifest: `10-ME/00-PROFILE/scheduled-jobs.yaml
  • 📋 Scheduled-run TaskNotes under 00-CORE/TaskNotes/Tasks/
  • 📋 Recent scheduled-run logs under 99-TMP/OUTPUT/scheduled-runs/
  • 📋 Relevant skill configs and .env files for integrations being checked
  • 📋 Known external systems: Google Workspace, YouTube, Gmail, Google Drive

What BOB does

  1. scheduled-jobs → list managed jobs and compare against the live scheduler without writing changes
  2. tasknotes → inventory scheduled-run TaskNotes: identify enabled recurring tasks, run_command, verify_path, max_turns, model, lock settings, and last output
  3. Credential and integration check: verify required tokens/configs exist and identify expired, revoked, missing, wrong-account, or over-scoped credentials
  4. API health check: run non-mutating health probes for each integration and inspect recent logs for repeated failures, retries, or silent no-ops
  5. Side-effect gate review: classify every automation as read-only, local-write, vault-write, or external-write; confirm outbound actions are disabled, dry-run capable, or explicitly approved before patching
  6. Patch stale scripts/configs: apply the smallest safe changes, one automation family at a time, with backups where the tool supports them
  7. Verification and audit close: rerun health checks, verify expected outputs, capture decisions, unresolved risks, and next scheduled review
