SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the need to manually trigger repetitive SLICC tasks or miss time-sensitive events that should automatically kick off agent work, reducing human error and freeing you to focus on higher-value work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Webhook Triggers: Automatically route incoming HTTP requests (like GitHub PR alerts or Slack deploy notifications) to SLICC scoops for processing.
  • Scheduled Cron Tasks: Run recurring background work like hourly digests or data refreshes on a set schedule without manual intervention.
  • Filesystem Watchers: Automatically trigger agent actions when files in the SLICC VFS are created, modified, or deleted, ideal for content and code workflows.
  • Use Case: For example, set up a webhook to alert your PR review scoop whenever a new pull request is opened in your repo, or use a filesystem watcher to automatically summarize new markdown docs added to your workspace.

Quick Start

Use the automation skill to set up a cron task that runs your daily standup summary scoop every weekday at 9 AM.
