👉 AI agents that assist with the development and release of GnollHack follow written instructions for three recurring tasks: Steam patch notes, Steam events, and the scan of graphical NetHack ports.
Each instruction page tells an AI agent, step by step, how to carry out one recurring task. To start a task, copy its prompt from Copiable Prompts, fill in the bracketed parts, and paste it to your AI agent. The agent needs access to the GnollHackWiki repository, and for some tasks also to the GnollHack repository.
