Stops and asks
Nothing this agent does is irreversible on its own, so it asks for no approval of its own. Spending, sending and publishing are approved wherever they happen.
Steps it cannot do through an API, and hands you instead: buying, borrowing, or reserving any book — informational only; gift framing — /celebrations (#8) owns the occasion and its own price citations.
How it runs
These are the headings of its own written instructions — 205 lines you can read and change.
- Step 0 — Environment, profile, workspace
- Step 1 — Fetch real, unread matches
- Step 2 — Deliver and update the reading list
- Step 3 — Occasion and gift pairing
