automation

automation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from agentry-ai/agentry. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,583 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A development pattern for scheduled jobs and webhooks inside a Next.js app. Scheduled jobs run from a cron expression, while webhooks receive event notifications and check their signatures; a built-in control panel shows runs and lets you run or replay them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for recurring work, polling another service, or reacting to events such as Stripe, GitHub, or Slack webhooks.
Why use it?
It removes the need to create a separate scheduler, daemon, or logging screen for these tasks. It gives developers one place to inspect and operate automated runs.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

automation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill: Automation (scheduled jobs + webhooks, with a built-in control panel)

Use when the user says something like "build an automation", "run this on a schedule", "every morning / hourly / cron", "a worker that polls X", "handle a Stripe/GitHub/Slack webhook", "do something when an event comes in". Read this whole page before scaffolding.

The one idea

An automation is a normal kind: nextjs app (one project, one port — CONTRACT.md still holds) that uses the baked @agentry/automation package. You do NOT build a bespoke daemon, a cron container, or your own logs UI. You get three things for free:

  1. Schedules that run in-process on a cron expression.
  2. Webhooks served as Next route handlers, with signature verification.
  3. A control panel at /_agentry — run history, next-fire times, webhook payloads, "Run now", and "Replay" — fully templated. Don't rebuild it; it renders itself from the run store.

The sandbox is a running computer, so the scheduler is just a cron living in the app process. No external scheduler, no separate service.

Scaffold

project_create kind=automation does the scaffolding — it copies the baked @agentry/automation template (scheduler + webhook router + control panel) into your project. Then:

cd /workspace/projects/<name>
npm install            # @agentry/automation + the DB drivers resolve here

Then project_start. Iterate with edits + project_logs; the control panel at /_agentry is your observability (it's the automation's "Open it").

(Do NOT use kind: python-script for a scheduled/webhook job — it has no schedule primitive and no UI. kind: automation is the one.)

What's in the template, and the only files you normally touch:

  • automations/jobs.ts — your schedules (defineSchedule)
  • automations/hooks.ts — your webhooks (withWebhook)
  • everything else (instrumentation, control panel, store, next.config) is plumbing — leave it. In particular do not edit next.config.mjs: output: 'standalone', the instrumentation hook, and the DB-driver externals are load-bearing. Removing any of them silently stops the cron from firing or breaks the build.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

automation is a skill published in the GitHub repository agentry-ai/agentry (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,583 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
