SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Scheduling repeatable AI work eliminates the need to remember to run the same task manually, ensuring your important processes happen at the right time without extra effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reusable “cold-start” task prompts: turns your current session’s core objective into a self-contained prompt that future runs can execute without relying on prior chat context.
  • Flexible scheduling modes: supports recurring schedules via cron expressions, one-time execution via an ISO 8601 fireAt timestamp, or ad-hoc manual triggering when no schedule is provided.
  • Straight-through scheduling creation: packages your objective, steps, constraints, and success criteria into a structured tool call using create_scheduled_task.

Quick Start

Use the schedule skill to create a recurring task that audits a project’s tests and documentation every weekday at 9am in your local timezone.

Frequently Asked Questions about schedule

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate recurring AI tasks and schedule them to run automatically?

Automate recurring AI tasks by packaging your objective, steps, and constraints into a self-contained prompt with a cron expression for interval execution or an ISO 8601 timestamp for one-time scheduling.

Can I create a one-time scheduled task with a specific fireAt timestamp?

Yes, you can create a one-time scheduled task by providing an ISO 8601 fireAt timestamp, which schedules the packaged AI workflow to execute automatically at that exact moment.

What is the best way to generate a reusable prompt for scheduled workflow execution?

Generate a reusable prompt by defining explicit steps, constraints, paths or URLs, and expected output into a self-contained structure, ensuring future runs execute without relying on prior chat context.

How do I set up a cron expression for periodic maintenance tasks in my local timezone?

Set up periodic maintenance tasks by providing a cron expression evaluated in your local timezone, enabling automated interval execution for recurring audits or scheduled summaries across files and repositories.

Do I need any external dependencies to create scheduled tasks?

No external dependencies are required to create scheduled tasks, as the skill independently generates the cron expression, ISO 8601 timestamp, kebab-case task name, and structured tool call.

Can I run a scheduled task on demand without defining a cron expression?

Yes, you can run a scheduled task on demand through ad-hoc manual triggering when no recurring cron expression or one-time fireAt timestamp is provided during task creation.
