SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the need to schedule, maintain, and update automated agent tasks over time without relying on manual intervention.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Job listing for a Live or Crew: Retrieve the set of cron jobs associated with a specific liveId or crewId to understand what will run next.
  • Job creation with scheduling rules and prompts: Define a cron expression, a prompt to execute at each trigger, and optional validity windows (startDate/endDate) for controlled automation.
  • Job updates and removal: Modify cron expressions, prompts, names, enable/disable state, and date ranges—or delete jobs entirely—while keeping UI-visible job records consistent.

Quick Start

Ask 9Lives to create a cron job for the current Live that runs every day at 9:00 with the prompt “Send me a morning briefing summary.”

FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule recurring agent tasks using cron expressions?

You can create a scheduled job by defining a valid cron expression, a prompt to execute, and optional start and end dates. This automates recurring agent workflows, such as periodic reporting, across specific liveId or crewId scopes.

What is time-based job management for Live and Crew automations?

Time-based job management involves creating, updating, listing, and deleting scheduled cron jobs for Live and Crew automations. It handles recurring agent workflows like periodic reporting and task triggering while keeping job records aligned with the UI Jobs view.

Can I set validity windows for automated cron job triggers?

Yes, you can define optional validity windows using startDate and endDate parameters when creating a job. This enables controlled automation by ensuring time-bound prompts only execute within your specified schedule.

How do I update or remove existing scheduled jobs?

You can modify cron expressions, prompts, names, enable or disable states, and date ranges to update jobs, or delete them entirely. This maintains consistency between your automation logic and the UI-visible job records.

What do I need to validate before creating a cron job?

You must validate the cronExpr parameter as a valid cron expression before creating a scheduled job. The system uses this expression to determine the exact trigger times for your automated agent prompts.
