run-without-you

run-without-you is a skill for Claude Code from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. It costs 205 tokens per session (1,121 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scheduling workflow makes a managed AI agent run on demand, after an event, or on a recurring POSIX cron schedule. Cron is a standard system scheduler that starts commands at specified times.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for setting up morning, weekly, or nightly runs, documenting event-triggered calls, and keeping an agent's recurring roadmap current.
Why use it?
It removes the need to start recurring agent runs by hand and validates schedules before they are used.

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

run-without-you scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/cron_validator.py, scripts/deployment_builder.py, scripts/next_directions_writer.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Phase 4 — Run Without You (the recurring loop)

A scheduled deployment fires a fresh session on a cron cadence — the agent runs without you. Each firing can carry its own outcome, nesting the bounded grade→iterate loop inside every recurring run.

See ../../references/loops-and-workflows.md.

Choose the trigger

Answer Shape Tool
"every morning / weekly / nightly" recurring cron deployment deployment_builder.py + cron_validator.py
"when X happens" event-driven curl (documented, not scheduled) deployment_builder.py (message only)
"only when I ask" on-demand (no deployment) none — just re-send a user.message

Workflow (recurring)

  1. Validate the schedule.
    python3 scripts/cron_validator.py --cron "0 9 * * *" --timezone Europe/Berlin
    
    Invalid cron/timezone → exit 1. Read the DST note: wall-clock semantics mean spring-forward times are skipped and fall-back times fire twice — avoid 02:00–03:00 in DST zones if exactly-once matters.
  2. Build the deployment payload.
    python3 scripts/deployment_builder.py \
      --sheet ./my-agent/build-sheet.json --agent-id agent_123 --env-id env_456 \
      --nest-outcome --out ./my-agent/payloads/deployment.json
    
    --nest-outcome includes the rubric so each firing self-grades. The tool prints the BYOK curl to create it and to test it once with the manual run endpoint before trusting the schedule.
  3. Test before you trust. Fire one manual run, read the verdict, only then leave the cron in place. Pin the agent version in the deployment once it passes.
  4. Finalize the roadmap.
    python3 scripts/next_directions_writer.py \
      --sheet ./my-agent/build-sheet.json --loop-shape cron-loop --last-verdict satisfied --out-dir ./my-agent
    
  5. Advance + hand to wrap-up. goal_state.py set --phase wrap-up, then invoke the wrap-up skill.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

run-without-you is a skill published in the GitHub repository alirezarezvani/claude-skills (28,607 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 205 tokens to every session and 1,121 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-24.
