Nightly Build

Every night, wake up and build something small but helpful.

1. Pick an Idea

Check your ideas file (e.g.,

ideas.md

TODO.md

, or task manager) for the next item in the queue.

Look for:

Ideas marked as "ready" or "next"
Small scope items (can be completed in 1-2 hours)
Clear requirements

2. Set Up the Project

Create a new folder for the build:

Location:
```
builds/YYYY-MM-DD-project-name/
```
Initialize with appropriate structure for the project type

3. Build It

Using your coding skill or AI coding assistant:

Implement the idea
Keep it simple — MVP only
Focus on functionality over polish
Write clean, readable code

Constraints

Max 2 hours of work
Must be functional and tested
No scope creep — build what was planned

4. Test It

Verify the build works:

Run the code
Test key functionality
Fix any obvious bugs

5. Document It

Write a

README.md

explaining:

What it does
How to use it
Any dependencies or setup needed

6. Update the Queue

Move the idea from "Queue" to "Completed" in your ideas file.

7. Report

Using your messaging skill, send a summary:

🌙 Nightly Build Complete!

Built: [Project Name]
Location: builds/YYYY-MM-DD-name/
What it does: [1-2 sentences]
How to use: [Quick example]

Ready for you to try!

Notes

Schedule to run overnight or during idle time
Start with high-value, low-complexity ideas
Document clearly so builds can be used immediately
If an idea is too big, break it down and build part of it
