What it does
Schked is an agent skill from bibendi/schked. Guide for working with Schked, a Ruby recurring-job scheduler built on top of rufus-scheduler.
Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including reference files (for example `references/architecture.md`, `references/initialization.md` and `references/migration.md`).
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Background jobs and Scheduled and recurring tasks. It works with Ruby and Redis. The repository describes itself as: Framework agnostic scheduler to run recurring jobs. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Background jobs
- Tasks that involve Scheduled and recurring tasks
Example prompts
- “/schked”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read references/architecture.md first to understand the runtime model, especially the threading rules and the Redis lock.
- Read references/initialization.md when the task involves setup or configuration.
- Read the specific references/recipes/{use-case}.md for the task at hand.
- Read references/migration.md only when upgrading or handling deprecations.
- Read references/troubleshooting.md only when diagnosing failures.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c1f45ac. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.com
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
Schked loads about 454 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 199 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- Guide for working with Schked, a Ruby recurring-job scheduler built on top of rufus-scheduler.
Schked
Schked is a framework-agnostic Ruby wrapper around rufus-scheduler for running recurring jobs. It adds Redis-based distributed locking (so only one scheduler instance is active at a time), Rails integration, callbacks, and a small CLI.
Routing Map
| Question | Go to |
|---|---|
| How does the scheduler start, run, and shut down? | references/architecture.md |
| How do I install and configure it? | references/initialization.md |
| What changed between versions or what is deprecated? | references/migration.md |
| How do I perform a concrete task? | references/recipes/{use-case}.md |
| How do I configure the Kubernetes liveness probe? | references/recipes/configure-liveness-probe.md |
| What is broken and how do I fix it? | references/troubleshooting.md |
Reading Order
- Read
references/architecture.mdfirst to understand the runtime model, especially the threading rules and the Redis lock. - Read
references/initialization.mdwhen the task involves setup or configuration. - Read the specific
references/recipes/{use-case}.mdfor the task at hand. - Read
references/migration.mdonly when upgrading or handling deprecations. - Read
references/troubleshooting.mdonly when diagnosing failures.
Critical Constraints
- Do not rely on class or method signatures from this skill. Open the gem source or the rufus-scheduler documentation when you need exact API details.
- Verify whether the current environment is
standaloneor Redis-locked before changing scheduling behavior. - Prefer linking to rufus-scheduler cron/every/in documentation over duplicating scheduling syntax.
