Paradev Automate

paradev is an alias for the superset CLI: every superset command here also runs as paradev.

Turn "I keep doing X every morning" into an automation that does X on a schedule, or "someone should look at every new PR" into one that fires on the event.

1. Understand the chore

Pin down: the outcome, the cadence, the inputs it reads, and what "done" looks like. Then draft the automation prompt as instructions for an agent with zero context. If the task has rules that will evolve (triage criteria, formats), put them in a document the automation reads at runtime so they can be edited without touching the prompt.

Nobody watches a run, so a chore whose product is a digest, a report, or a scorecard needs somewhere for that product to land. End the prompt by writing the report to an .html file and publishing it, so the user opens one link instead of digging through run logs.

...write the digest to digest.html, then publish it:
superset pages publish digest.html --title "Nightly triage" --label "what changed today"

A page is identified by its workspace plus its path, so which target you picked in step 2 decides whether history accumulates. A project target creates a fresh workspace per run, which means a new page every run rather than a new version of one. For a report meant to build up history, use a workspace target, or capture the page id from the first run and have the prompt pass --page <id> from then on.

2. Pick the target

• superset projects list: a project target creates a fresh workspace per run (most tasks)
• superset workspaces list --local: a workspace target reuses the same workspace every run (stateful tasks)

3. Pick what fires it

A clock or an event. Ask which the chore actually wants: "every morning" is a schedule, "whenever someone does X" is an event trigger.
