The router only ranked work someone had written a card for, so optimization showed up only when a human noticed it. It now reads three of the factory's own records over the last seven days and proposes the rest itself, deterministically. router.py, one synthetic candidate per finding (`opt:<source>:<id>`, kind optimization, no card yet, a drafted title and body that carries its own key and a `DONE:` line): - `ledger_candidates`: the week's spend grouped by model and by entry point (a line's `entry` where it has one, else `pool`, the route it booked to). A group that took over half the bill is a candidate, where there is a second group in that dimension to compare it with; so is a model whose spend per call is double its own median, which is a few heavy calls behind a cheap average. Pennies (under $0.25 a week) are left alone and one group yields at most one candidate. - `run_candidates`: Actions runs as `/actions/runs` gives them (the shape `tea_actions` reads: the list, or `workflow_runs`). A workflow with two or more failed or cancelled runs in the window is a candidate, with the failure count and the last run's id. - `parked_candidates`: a card parked by an `error` or `stuck` beat older than a day, with no open PR and #78's automatic retries spent ("retry or split #N"). One Time will still retry on its own is left to it. - `named` / `opt_candidates`: a source an open card already names (`Router: opt:<source>:<id>` in the body) is not proposed again. astra.py gathers the three sources (`ledger_week`, `action_runs`, `parked_cards`; each is context, so unreadable means no candidates from it, never a failed run) and the seat judges them like any other candidate. Live, a picked one is written as a card, unqueued and a candidate from tomorrow, and is never worked on in place; dry, the ranked table shows it as "would be written as a card". The log line and the beat's `opt` say which source became which card. Tests (test_time.py section 171): a ledger with one dominant route yields one candidate, and so does the entry-point dimension, the median rule, pennies, a single group and a stale window; two failed runs of one workflow yield one candidate with its count and last run id; a parked card yields one unless it has an open PR, retries left or was parked today; a source an open card names yields none; Astra live writes the card unqueued while dry writes nothing.

time
A Gitea-native agent factory, running on Teahub prod (teahub.xyz). The Gitea repo is the ledger, Gitea Actions are the clock (Time), the worker is a Claude or Venice seat with hands or a Cursor cloud agent, and chat is where you plan.
- Cards: an issue with a
DONE:line, labelledready. - Heartbeat (
heartbeat.yml, hourly and whenever a card is labelledready): moves cards forward. Indry-run(default) it only says what it would do; withTIME_MODE=liveit dispatches each card to the worker (TIME_WORKER: a seat such asclaude:sonnetorvenice:kimi, which edits the repo and opens the PR itself, or a Cursor cloud agent), which opens a PR that closes the card. An optional reviewer (TIME_REVIEW) checks the PR. At mostTIME_DAILY_CAPlaunches a day. Spend governor: every model call is booked totime/ledger/<YYYY-MM>.jsonl(tokens and dollars); once today's spend reachesTIME_DAILY_USD(default 5) or the month's reachesTIME_MONTHLY_USD(default 100), Time stops calling models, opens anandonissue, and a monthly breach also setsTIME_MODE=dry-run. No model decides whether to spend. - Mentions (
mention.yml):@sonnet,@opus,@kimi,@grok 4.7,@qwen max highin any issue, PR or comment gets that seat's reply. - Hands-off (
TIME_AUTOMERGE=on): label an issuespecand Time splits it into cards that run one at a time. A card's PR merges itself once the reviewer approves and checks are green, then the next card starts. Objections, red checks and protected paths (workflows, deploy, secrets) go to a human. - Venture loop (
venture.yml, every 20 min onceTIME_VENTURE=on): one venture card a day, or one right away from Actions → venture → Run workflow → "Start a new venture now". It scouts the repos that gained the most stars this week; seats pitch; the board votes (Borda, quorum of two); every board seat writes a launch plan (positioning, first users, pricing, channels, 7-day success and kill lines) and one seat synthesizes them intoLAUNCH.md; the worker builds the product as the page ongh-pages(the tool fills the first screen under a slim header with the one signup button; pricing, limits and the why sit below); deterministic checks and headless Chrome (phone and desktop) gate it, with two fix rounds before an andon; GitHub Pages ships it at/ventures/<slug>/. Signups go through an issue form (.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/early-access.yml), each one thanked on its issue; after 7 days the count of distinct people decides: build v2, kill, or watch a week more. The studio index lives at/ventures/. Launch posts are drafts for a human; nothing is posted outside the repo. - Batches (
TIME_VENTURE_BATCH=3, or Run workflow → "batch"): one scout pass, a field of pitches, and the board's top k become venture cards in one milestone, built side by side and launched together. A held child gets one batch retry before it's counted dead; a retro compares the cohort once every child is measured. - Seed (
seed.yml, manual): land a venture that was built somewhere else. Give it a slug, the URL of a .tgz whose top folder is that slug (or of its parts, in order) and the .tgz's sha256, plus a name and a one-liner for a new venture.seed.pychecks the bundle, copies it toventures/<slug>/ongh-pagesin one commit, adds or refreshes its line inventures/ventures.json, and asks Teahub pages to pull, so it is live at<slug>.yolopreneur.lolwithin the minute. Nothing in the bundle runs. - Refresh (
refresh.yml, manual): for a venture that lives on gh-pages and makes some of its own files (fonts, art, screenshots, generated code). It runsventures/<slug>/tools/build.shon the runner, in place and without credentials, then commits what changed to gh-pages in one commit and asks Teahub pages to pull.fromtakes the folder from another branch first, so a reworked venture lands whole. - Backends (optional,
CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN+CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID): each venture also gets its own Cloudflare Worker, D1 database and Workers AI, serving its Pages folder at<slug>.<TIME_VENTURE_DOMAIN>. The page talks to it throughtime.js(share links that save a creation, a rate-limited small model, and accounts with passkeys: no passwords, no email); every call degrades gracefully, so products still work on Pages alone. Code:.github/time/cloudflare.pyandcloudflare/worker.js. - Doctor (
doctor.yml, manual): runs the tests and checks label, settings, keys and today's spend. - Update (
update.yml, weekly or manual): opens a PR with the latest engine from teahubxyz/time, so every project stays on one Time instead of drifting copies.
Setup
Started on GitHub as a proof of concept (teahubxyz/time, now read-only); ported to Gitea 2026-10-14.
Open this repo in Claude Code or Cursor and say "set up Time": the agent follows .claude/skills/time/SKILL.md. The recommended path needs one secret, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: Claude seats plan, build and review (TIME_WORKER=claude:sonnet, TIME_REVIEW=claude:haiku; haiku, sonnet, opus, fable are the seats, priced in .github/time/seats.json). With VENICE_API_KEY instead, Venice seats do the same (TIME_WORKER=venice:qwen coder, TIME_REVIEW=venice:grok). A Cursor cloud agent can be the worker instead if you have a Cursor API key. The landing page walks through it: https://teahubxyz.github.io/time/
