SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Scheduling and automating repetitive prompts and tasks can be error-prone and time-consuming. This skill provides a self-contained way to define, store, and execute tasks on a cadence (cron), at a specific time (fireAt), or on-demand (ad-hoc) with autonomous prompts and isolated execution contexts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three modes supported: cron-based recurring, one-time time-based, and ad-hoc tasks.
  • Self-contained task files: Each task is stored as a {taskId}/SKILL.md entry that can be versioned and re-run.
  • Autonomous prompts & isolation: Prompts are designed to run without user context, with optional completion notifications.
  • Lifecycle & management: Create, update, enable/disable, and archive tasks; view upcoming and past runs.
  • Use cases: daily reports, maintenance reminders, data processing pipelines, or routine checks.

Quick Start

Create a scheduled task by calling createScheduledTask with taskId, description, prompt, and either cronExpression for recurring tasks or fireAt for a one-time task.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate recurring cron jobs and one-time scheduled prompts?

Scheduled task execution supports three modes: cron-based recurring jobs, one-time fireAt reminders, and on-demand ad-hoc tasks. Each mode stores tasks as self-contained files that can be versioned and re-run autonomously.

Can I run ad-hoc tasks on-demand without setting up a cron expression?

Yes, ad-hoc tasks execute on-demand without requiring a cron expression. This mode runs isolated prompts immediately, providing a self-contained way to trigger autonomous tasks outside of recurring schedules.

How do I manage the lifecycle of scheduled tasks like enabling or archiving?

Manage scheduled task lifecycles by creating, updating, enabling, disabling, or archiving them. The system also lets you view upcoming and past runs to track execution history across operations workflows.

What is the best way to store automated tasks so they can be versioned and re-run?

Store automated tasks as self-contained {taskId}/SKILL.md files. This format allows each task to be versioned alongside your codebase and reliably re-run within isolated execution contexts.

Do scheduled prompts run autonomously without user context or intervention?

Scheduled prompts run autonomously without user context. They are designed for isolated execution and include optional completion notifications to alert you when the task finishes.
