recurring-task-automator

Define the task, cadence, data sources, output destination, and quality bar, then design a scheduled task spec with a copyable prompt and monitoring criteria. This Skill walks you through those questions and produces the full specification.

A complete spec covers the task summary, schedule with rationale, required connectors, the prompt itself, environment setup, monitoring and failure detection, a test plan, and what the automation replaces.

Yes, when designed as a cloud scheduled task rather than a local script. The spec this Skill produces is intended for cloud scheduling so the automation runs independently of your machine.

Define failure signals up front, such as missing output by a deadline, empty data pulls, or connector errors. The Skill includes a monitoring and failure detection section plus a test plan to validate the automation before relying on it.

Avoid scheduling tasks that require human judgment on unpredictable inputs, lack a clear quality bar, or need UI and computer-use interactions that cloud schedulers cannot perform. The intake questions surface these constraints before design.
