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.
