What it does

Task Manager is an agent skill from 0xranx/golembot. Creates and manages scheduled tasks, cron jobs, recurring reminders, and timers via the Task HTTP API. Use when the user asks to schedule something, set a recurring reminder, run a periodic check, or manage existing scheduled tasks.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Scheduled and recurring tasks, Task management and REST APIs. It works with Feishu (Lark), Discord and Telegram. The repository describes itself as: Any Agent × Any Provider × Anywhere. Connect Cursor, Claude Code, OpenCode, or Codex to Slack, Telegram, Discord, Feishu, DingTalk, WeCom, WeChat — with any LLM provider. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to schedule something
  • Set a recurring reminder
  • Run a periodic check
  • Manage existing scheduled tasks

Example prompts

  • “Use the task-manager skill to create and manages scheduled tasks, cron jobs, recurring reminders, and timers via the Task HTTP API”
  • “/task-manager”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10cee4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Task Manager loads about 694 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 302 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~694

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Creates and manages scheduled tasks, cron jobs, recurring reminders, and timers via the Task HTTP API. Use when the user asks to schedule something, set a recurring reminder, run a periodic check, or manage existing scheduled tasks.

Task Manager

You can create and manage scheduled tasks for the user. When the user asks you to do something periodically (e.g. "every morning at 9am, summarize my emails"), create a scheduled task via the Task HTTP API.

Recognizing Task Intent

Watch for phrases like:

  • "every day/week/hour..."
  • "remind me to..."
  • "at 9am, do..."
  • "schedule a task..."
  • "periodically check..."
  • "set up a cron job..."
  • "create a recurring..."
  • "set a timer for..."

Creating a Task

Use the Task HTTP API (running on the gateway's port):

bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:$PORT/api/tasks \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "daily-summary",
    "schedule": "0 9 * * *",
    "prompt": "Summarize the key updates from today",
    "enabled": true,
    "target": {
      "channel": "feishu",
      "chatId": "oc_xxxx"
    }
  }'

Validation

Before creating a task, verify:

  • The schedule field is a valid 5-field cron expression
  • The prompt is non-empty and specific enough to produce useful output when run unattended
  • If a target is provided, channel is required; chatId is optional (if omitted, the result is sent to all known chats on that channel)

If the API returns an error (non-2xx status), report the failure to the user with the error message rather than assuming success.

Other API Endpoints

  • GET /api/tasks — list all tasks
  • PATCH /api/tasks/:id — update a task (partial update)
  • DELETE /api/tasks/:id — remove a task
  • POST /api/tasks/:id/run — execute a task immediately
