What it does

Run Without You is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Phase 4 of building a Claude Managed Agent — make it run without you. Turn a graded agent into a recurring scheduled deployment (POSIX-cron), an event-driven curl trigger, or confirmed on-demand use, then finalize the versioned roadmap. Use when the user says "run it every morning", "put it on a schedule", "nightly", "weekly", "automate this", "make it recurring", or when the orchestrator routes phase=run-without-you. deploymentbuilder.py builds the POST /v1/deployments payload (initialevents must include…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `README.md`, `scripts/cron_validator.py` and `scripts/deployment_builder.py`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Deployment, Scheduled and recurring tasks and Event-driven systems. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says run it every morning
  • Put it on a schedule
  • Make it recurring
  • The orchestrator routes phase=run-without-you

Example prompts

  • “run it every morning”
  • “put it on a schedule”
  • “nightly”
  • “/run-without-you”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Validate the schedule.
  2. Build the deployment payload.
  3. Test before you trust. Fire one manual run, read the verdict, only then
  4. Finalize the roadmap.
  5. Advance + hand to wrap-up. goal_state.py set --phase wrap-up, then invoke

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. 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

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Run Without You loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 225 tokens; SKILL.md has 331 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~225
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Phase 4 of building a Claude Managed Agent — make it run without you. Turn a graded agent into a recurring scheduled deployment (POSIX-cron), an event-driven curl trigger, or confirmed on-demand use, then finalize the versioned roadmap. Use when the user says "run it every morning", "put it on a schedule", "nightly", "weekly", "automate this", "make it recurring", or when the orchestrator routes phase=run-without-you. deployment_builder.py builds the POST /v1/deployments payload (initial_events must include user.message; optionally nests a user.define_outcome so each firing self-grades); cron_validator.py validates the 5-field cron + IANA timezone and prints the wall-clock DST note; next_directions_writer.py writes NEXT-DIRECTIONS.md. No tool makes API calls — the deployment is created via BYOK curl. Distinct from grade-iterate (the in-session loop) and wrap-up (closeout).

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

AnswerShapeTool
"every morning / weekly / nightly"recurring cron deploymentdeployment_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.
    bash
    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.
    bash
    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.
    bash
    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.

Hard rules

  • Test with a manual run first. Never commit a schedule you haven't fired once.
  • Safety rails on by default. always_ask MCP, limited networking where you can, read_only untrusted memory, max_iterations per firing, workspace spend limit. There is no spend cap inside CMA.
  • DST is wall-clock. Surface the note; pick safe times.
  • ≤1,000 deployments/org.

Forcing-question library (recommend + cite)

  1. "Cadence, event, or on-request?" Recommend: on-request v0 → cadence once graded. Cite: loops-and-workflows.md.
  2. "Should each firing self-grade?" Recommend: yes — nest the outcome. Cite: loops-and-workflows.md (nesting rule).
  3. "Which timezone, and is the time DST-safe?" Recommend: avoid 02:00–03:00 in DST zones. Cite: cma-primitives.md (wall-clock DST).
  4. "Did you fire one manual run first?" Recommend: always. Cite: this SKILL.

Tools

  • scripts/deployment_builder.py — POST /v1/deployments payload (+ test-run curl).
  • scripts/cron_validator.py — 5-field cron + IANA tz + DST note.
  • scripts/next_directions_writer.py — write/refresh NEXT-DIRECTIONS.md.
