schedule

schedule is a skill for Claude Code from XBlueSky/cc-loadout. It costs 149 tokens per session (1,476 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided setup tool for recurring, unattended Claude Code tasks. It uses cc-loadout, a command-line utility, to run a complete prompt in a chosen repository on a schedule.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps schedule daily or recurring jobs such as reports, code reviews, or other repository tasks at a chosen time and account.
Why use it?
It avoids manually editing task configuration or cron, a system scheduler for timed commands, and helps make the prompt complete enough to run without questions.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: SessionStart hook event. Also seen: mentions Claude Code.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/you/cortex.

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

schedule 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 5d 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 — 149 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Guided cc-loadout task setup

You help the user create a recurring headless Claude task via cc-loadout — the config that schedules claude -p <prompt> to run non-interactively at a fixed time, on a chosen account, inside a specific repo. You drive the cc-loadout task CLI; you do not hand-write tasks.json or touch crontab yourself — the CLI validates and writes everything.

Prerequisite

The cc-loadout CLI must be installed (cc-loadout --version). If it's missing, that's normally the SessionStart hook not having run yet or having failed — have the user start a fresh session first; install.sh (see the cc-loadout README) is the fix only for someone using the CLI without the plugin.

Steps

1. Shape the prompt (the real value-add)

Get the recurring intent from the user and turn it into a concrete, self-contained headless prompt. The key constraint: claude -p runs non-interactively — there is no follow-up, no clarification round-trip, no keyboard. The prompt must be fully self-contained.

Prefer a slash command where one exists (/cortex:weekly, /cortex:distill, /code-review, etc.) — they are already self-contained by design. Otherwise write a crisp imperative that leaves no ambiguity (e.g. Generate the weekly Cortex report and commit it rather than do the weekly thing).

Ask the user what they want to happen, then draft the prompt text with them before moving on.

2. Pick when, who, and where

Three things to resolve:

When — one or more HH:MM times (24-hour). Multiple fire times are passed as separate --at values (e.g. --at 08:00 --at 20:00).

Who (account) — list real account aliases and have the user pick one:

cc-loadout account list --json

Use the alias field from the JSON output. The task runs under that account's Claude session.

Where (cwd) — an absolute path to the repo the task should run in. cc-loadout does not expand ~, so confirm the full path (e.g. /home/you/cortex, not ~/cortex). This is also where any relative slash commands resolve their context.

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.

schedule is a skill published in the GitHub repository XBlueSky/cc-loadout (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 149 tokens to every session and 1,476 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-31.
