Agent mode
Set viaagentMode in preferences. Two modes:
Read (default)
The agent analyzes and notifies but never modifies anything outside the cofounder tables. Allowed action types:slack_summary— Slack messageswebhook_post— outbound webhook eventsnotion_page— Notion DB rows
asc_metadata_update,asc_review_reply,asc_version_create— App Store Connect writeslinear_issue,github_issue— issue tracker writes
Write
All action types are allowed, but each one still requires either:- Being in
autoApproveTypes→ executes immediately - Or human approval via the API or Slack approval buttons
Analysis depth
Set viaanalysisDepth in preferences. Controls how much investigation the agent does per run — not which model runs (that’s your LLM settings).
* Actual cost depends on your chosen model and how much data the collector pulled. With default models, a standard run is on the order of a cent.
When to use each
quick— frequent runs to catch fast-moving signals (rank drops, review spikes). The data delta between runs is small, so a shallow pass is enough.standard— default twice-daily runs. Research phase plus a self-critique pass over the draft briefing.deep— weekly retros, decision-heavy moments (pre-launch, post-pivot). The bigger tool budget lets the agent chain multiple keyword/competitor drills before writing.
Per-run override
You can override the depth on a one-off run without changing your default:Auto-approve
autoApproveTypes is an array of action types that bypass the review queue and execute immediately when proposed.
asc_metadata_update— irreversible without a review cycleasc_version_create— can affect your app’s store listing
