Automation Studio
Editor for event rules and cron-style scheduled jobs, plus a viewer for the daily event log.
Automation Studio has three tabs: Rules, Scheduled Jobs and Event Log.
The studio only edits and displays data. packages/robos-rule-engine and packages/robos-scheduler are libraries that can run rules and cron jobs, but no app or service in the repository loads them outside tests. The rule shape the studio saves (a flat eventType) also differs from the trigger.eventType shape the rule engine reads. Treat saved rules and jobs as configuration that is not executed today.
What you do in it
- Rules: click + New Rule, give it a name, choose an event type, add conditions and actions, and click Save Rule. The event types in the list are
ci.build.completed,ci.build.failed,pr.opened,pr.merged,pr.review.requested,issue.created,issue.assigned,deploy.started,deploy.completed,deploy.failed,git.pushandagent.task.completed. Each action has a type (Notify, Webhook, Execute or Log) and a free-text parameter field. A checkbox on each row enables or disables the rule. - Scheduled Jobs: click + New Job, enter a name, a cron expression and actions. The list shows a readable form of simple schedules (for example “Daily at 9:00”, “Every hour at :05”); more complex expressions are shown as typed. A checkbox enables or disables a job. Run Now only stamps the job with a last-run time and the status
ran; it does not run the actions. Rows also have Edit and Del. - Event Log: shows one day of events. Filter by type (CI, PR, Issue, Deploy, Git, Agent) and category (Build, Review, Deploy, Task). The view refreshes every five seconds; Pause (which becomes Resume) stops that, and Refresh reloads on demand.
Where the data lives
| File | Contents |
|---|---|
~/.config/robos/event-rules.json | The rules list. |
~/.config/robos/scheduled-jobs.json | The jobs list. |
~/.config/robos/event-log/YYYY-MM-DD.jsonl | One JSON event per line. The studio reads these; the robos-event-bus library writes them. |
The files are created on the first save. Without a writer for the event log, the Event Log tab is empty.
Run it with electron packages/automation-studio. Source: packages/automation-studio.
