Software & DevOpsDone with Claude, Codex Oct 13, 2026
Spend leftover AI quota on reviewable PRs
RemainderBot uses a founder's goals and task lists to write PRs with spare Claude and Codex quota, producing 111 PRs including call prep and prototypes.
- What They Did
- The founder points RemainderBot at a goals file and task-list sources. It runs by hand or as a cronjob. In cron mode it checks remaining subscription quota and time until the weekly reset, picks a task, works on a new branch, and opens a PR. The founder reviews PRs on GitHub, and comments and merge decisions shape later tasks.
- How It Went
- It produced 111 PRs, including customer call prep, a census of 31 GitHub orgs' agent setup files, and standalone prototypes for demos. The source gives no accuracy figures; the author asks users to report mistakes.
- Worth Knowing
- Needs git, the claude or codex CLI, and an authenticated gh. A single small run with a 20-minute deadline costs a few percent of weekly quota.
Try it yourself with Claude
Read my goals in [path to goals file] and my task list in [path or link to task list]. Pick up to [number] small, well-defined tasks I could use help with, such as call prep notes, prototypes, or small fixes, and do each on its own branch and open it as a pull request in [repo] with a short description of what you did and why. Do not merge anything, and stop once you have opened the PRs and given me a list of them.
