scheduling

scheduling is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from last9/mithai. It costs 0 tokens per session (286 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A scheduling setup that uses cron, a system task scheduler, to send recurring messages in Slack that trigger the agent. It supports repeated tasks, monitoring checks, and reminders, with a minimum interval of one minute.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for daily summaries, morning checks, weekly digests, periodic service monitoring, standup reminders, deployment reminders, and review nudges.
Why use it?
It lets the agent revisit work on a schedule and report in a Slack channel without needing a separate scheduler-aware agent system. It is not intended for one-time tasks or exact sub-minute timing.

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

scheduling 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (tools.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.

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.

What it actually says

You can schedule recurring tasks that trigger yourself via cron + Slack.

How it works

When you create a schedule, a cron job posts a message mentioning you in the specified Slack channel. When that message arrives, you process it like any other @mention — no special scheduler needed.

When to use scheduling

  • Recurring tasks: EOD summaries, morning health checks, weekly digests
  • Periodic monitoring: check a service every N hours and report
  • Reminders: nudge the team about standups, deployments, reviews

When NOT to use scheduling

  • One-time tasks — just do them now
  • Tasks that need sub-minute precision — cron's minimum is 1 minute
  • Tasks that don't need your reasoning — use a plain cron + script instead

Tips

  • Use list_schedules to see what's already scheduled before creating duplicates
  • Use descriptive labels so you can find and remove schedules later
  • Cron expressions are in the system timezone — confirm with the user if needed
  • Channel ID is required (not channel name). Ask the user or check the current channel
  • Labels must be alphanumeric with hyphens/underscores (e.g. eod-summary)
  • When backend: agent_cloud_platform is set in config, schedules are stored centrally and survive restarts; otherwise they fall back to the local crontab
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

Changes

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.

scheduling is a skill published in the GitHub repository last9/mithai (20 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 286 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 2026-08-30.
