Automations: natural-language authoring (describe it in chat, Solenta generates the config) #1589
Description
Split from #242 (Cursor's /automate). In a chat thread, the user describes a workflow ("when CI fails on main, triage it") and the agent creates the automation: name, prompt, provider, schedule or GitHub trigger + filters.
Likely shape: a coder-threads MCP tool automation_create that calls services.addAutomation (validation already rejects bad presets/triggers), so any provider can author one. Show the result as a card with an Open in Automations link.

Approach: add coder-threads
automation_createthat wrapsservices.addAutomation(existing validation). Agent fills structured fields from the user's description (name, prompt, provider, hourly/daily/weekly or a GitHub trigger). Result renders as a transcript card with an Open in Automations button. No Cursor-style authoring wizard.currentbits commentedon Oct 11, 2026
Implemented on this branch:
automation_create→services.addAutomation(thread's project; provider defaults to the thread; trigger or hourly/daily/weekly).[Automations]prompt note (same coder-threads gate as work_suggest).Not in this change: draft-then-approve, highlight of the new row, Slack/webhook triggers.

Landed on this branch:
automation_createon coder-threads (callsaddAutomation; schedule or GitHub trigger; same-project guard). Successful calls render a result card with Open in Automations, which focuses that row in the edit form. No update/list/delete tools.Author automations from a chat description (#1589)
