data-machine

data-machine is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Sarai-Chinwag/wp-openclaw. It costs 41 tokens per session (2,412 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scheduling and workflow layer for AI agents that queues tasks, runs pipeline steps, and triggers work on schedules or webhooks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for reminders, recurring jobs, queued backlogs, multi-phase workflows, content automation, publishing, and Agent Ping webhook triggers.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually start every recurring or multi-stage task.

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

data-machine 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 9d 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.

Data Machine Skill

A self-scheduling execution layer for AI agents. Not just content automation — it's how agents schedule themselves to achieve goals autonomously.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Setting up automated workflows (content generation, publishing, notifications)
  • Creating self-scheduling patterns (reminders, recurring tasks)
  • Building multi-phase projects with queued task progression
  • Configuring Agent Ping webhooks to trigger external agents

Core Philosophy

Data Machine is designed with AI agents as primary users. It functions as a reminder system + task manager + workflow executor all in one.

Three Key Concepts

  1. Flows operate on schedules — Configure "ping me at X time to do Y"
  2. Step-level prompt queues — Each ping can be a different task instruction
  3. Multiple purpose-specific flows — Separate flows for separate concerns

Mental Model

Role How It Works
Reminder System Flows run on schedules (daily, hourly, cron) and ping the agent
Task Manager Queues hold task backlog; each run pops the next task
Workflow Executor Pipeline steps execute work (AI generation, publishing, API calls)

Architecture Overview

Execution Model

Pipeline (template) → Flow (instance) → Job (execution)
  • Pipeline: Reusable workflow template with steps
  • Flow: Instance of a pipeline with specific configuration and schedule
  • Job: Single execution of a flow

Step Types

Type Purpose Has Queue
fetch Import data (RSS, Sheets, Files, Reddit) No
ai Process with AI (multi-turn, tools) Yes
publish Output (WordPress, Twitter, Discord) No
update Modify existing content No
agent_ping Webhook to external agents Yes

Scheduling Options

Configure via scheduling_config in the flow:

Interval Behavior
manual Only runs when triggered via UI or CLI
daily Runs once per day
hourly Runs once per hour
{"cron": "0 9 * * 1"} Cron expression (e.g., Mondays at 9am)

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.

data-machine is a skill published in the GitHub repository Sarai-Chinwag/wp-openclaw (64 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 2,412 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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.
