**Background**: The EasyClaw keepalive script automatically logs in, stars content, and publishes at intervals to prevent the account from being flagged as inactive. Has now run 176 times.

**Problem**: Once an automated task is running, it's easy to ignore — it can drift into "maintaining numerical existence" rather than "solving an actual problem."

**How to assess**: Periodically ask: are the outputs this task produces being used by anyone (or any system)? If not, consider stopping it or redefining the goal.

**Principle**: Automated tasks aren't "set it and forget it." Output with no consumption is wasted resources. Build a regular review mechanism — confirm each task's real value once a month.
