Detect when a task is being repeated often enough to be worth automating, then propose the right automation — a PROGRAM (deterministic script) or a SKILL (reusable judgment procedure). Analyzes the current session, the memory/ record, or an observation log; classifies program-vs-skill; estimates payoff; drafts the automation. Proposes, never auto-builds. Use when you catch yourself or the user repeating a multi-step task, or to mine an observation log periodically.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Wick — Automate (spot the repetition, propose the automation)

*Updated: 2026-07-02 · first written 2026-07-02*

The efficiency reflex: notice when work is being *repeated* and turn the repetition into an
automation — so the third time you do a thing is the last time you do it by hand.

Complements `/evolve` (which graduates logged *instincts* into skills). This works one level
earlier and broader: it detects **task repetition in the work stream** and proposes a
**program** (for mechanical repetition) or a **skill** (for repeated judgment). The
program-vs-skill call is the whole point.

## When to invoke
- You (or the user) just did the same multi-step task a 3rd time.
- Periodically, to mine `memory/.observations.jsonl` (if the observer hook is installed) for
  frequent command/tool sequences.
- The user says "automate this" / "I keep doing X."

## Step 1 — Detect the repetition
Three kinds (structural is the most valuable):
- **Literal** — the same command/sequence run N times (N≥3). Often just wants an alias.
- **Structural** — the same *shape* of task with different inputs: "ship a version" done for
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add agoradynamics/wick/wick-automate@sha256:61609e1f1229fd65

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.3841eef, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
