Get a recurring report.

Some questions need asking every week: which dependencies fell behind, which issues need triage, what a competitor shipped. Save the question once as an automation and ProPR answers it on schedule, in a Markdown report that leads with what changed since last time.

Name it and pick the repositories

Open Automations → New Automation. Name it and pick up to ten repositories to read.

The definition of the weekly dependency review: its name, a description, and two repositories it may read
A weekly dependency review over two repositories.

Write the brief

Brief it the way you would brief a colleague: what to look at, what matters, how to lay out the report. Attach a policy or checklist as an input file.

Turn on Previous reports and the last reports feed the next run, so each one leads with what is new, changed or resolved.

The automation prompt with an attached dependency policy, and the last two reports fed back into the next run
The brief, its dependency policy, and the last two reports as input.

Choose what it can reach

Every run reads its repositories and never commits or pushes. Add web access for outside research, or, on Claude Code and Codex, ProPR tools to read tasks, PRs and todos.

Per-automation capabilities: read repositories and web access on, ProPR tools off
Repository reads on by default; web access and ProPR tools per automation.

Put it on a schedule

Pick a preset or write a cron line. Schedules run in UTC, as often as every 15 minutes, and the form previews the next run.

A UTC cron schedule with presets for hourly, daily, weekdays and Mondays, and a preview of the next run
Mondays at 09:00 UTC, with the next run previewed.

Read the report

Each run lands in the automation's history with its Markdown report. On dry run, the report is the whole result.

The Markdown report from the weekly dependency review: three packages need attention, two on watch
This week's dependency review: three packages need attention, two on watch.

A report today, work tomorrow.

On Claude Code or Codex, switch the autonomy to preview + approve and ProPR waits for your go-ahead before it turns the report into tasks, plans and todos. Other agents run automations as dry runs. The Automations guide covers the acting step and its limits.

What you get

A Markdown report on your schedule, built from a read-only look at your repositories, that leads with what changed since the last one.
