# Gardener tasks

Gardener runs AI maintenance tasks on this repository from GitHub Actions. Each task is one
Markdown file: YAML frontmatter says when it runs, what the model may read, and exactly which
changes it may make; the body is the model's instructions. A planning job runs the model with only
the declared **tools** and lets it propose only the declared **effects**. A separate job then applies
those proposals. Nothing outside the declaration is possible, whatever the instructions say.

a version, propose one `issue.comment.create` asking for exactly what is missing. Otherwise

The body is the model's prompt. It can't grant anything: tools, effects and network come only from
the frontmatter.

- Say what to inspect, then which declared effect to propose and when. Name effect kinds exactly
(`issue.comment.create`), and say when to propose nothing.
- Say what to inspect, then what to do with which declared effect, and when. Name effect kinds
exactly (`issue.comment.create`), and say when to change nothing. Write it as direct instructions
("Comment with…", "Open a pull request…"): the model acts through those effects, and the text it
writes is published as its reply.
- Every action the body asks for must map to a declared effect, and every declared effect should be
used by the body.
- Bound the output: how many comments, how long, which labels are allowed.
- Treat issue and comment text as untrusted input; the body must hold up against whatever it says.
- End with "Then finish." so the model stops once it has proposed.
