SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ensure there is always exactly one timer agent running in the background during sessions to coordinate wakeups and restarts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Always-on single timer maintains continuous schedule for agent coordination.
  • Automatic wakeups trigger checks and re-launches of work agents when the timer fires.
  • Self-healing workflow restarts the timer and dependent tasks to maintain progress across sessions.
  • Use Case: In a long-running multi-agent session, the timer ensures regular cadence without manual intervention.

Quick Start

Run the provided Bash-based launcher with The Schemer script to start and continuously restart the timer as described.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I maintain a background timer to coordinate agent wakeups in a multi-agent workflow?

A background timer coordinates agent wakeups by using a looping sleep sequence to detect timer firings, then immediately relaunching the timer and associated work agents. This ensures continuous cadence without manual intervention.

What is an always-on timer agent for interactive agent sessions?

An always-on timer agent is a single background process that remains active throughout a session to monitor and restart work cycles, ensuring periodic checks and wakeups trigger re-launches of dependent tasks across multiple agents.

Do I need Bash and The Schemer script to run the background timer for agent management?

Yes, the timer requires a Bash-based launcher integrated with The Schemer script to run the looping sleep sequence, detect timer firings, and immediately relaunch the timer and associated agents.

How do I automatically restart work agents when a timer fires during a long-running session?

To automatically restart work agents, the timer detects firings through its looping sleep sequence and immediately relaunches both the timer itself and the associated dependent tasks to maintain progress across sessions.

Can I use this self-healing workflow timer to schedule periodic checks across multiple agents?

Yes, the self-healing workflow timer is designed for interactive agent workflows where periodic checks, wakeups, and re-launches of dependent tasks are needed across multiple agents during long-running sessions.

What happens if the timer agent stops running during a multi-agent session?

If the timer agent stops, the self-healing workflow mechanism restarts the timer and dependent tasks automatically through the Bash launcher and The Schemer script, maintaining continuous schedule and progress across the session.
