What it does

Recurring Jobs is an agent skill from BuilderIO/agent-native. The legacy manage-jobs compatibility surface, job files under jobs/, and cron scheduler internals. Use when maintaining manage-jobs integrations or debugging the scheduler.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: A framework for building agentic apps.

When your agent uses it

Maintaining manage-jobs integrations
Debugging the scheduler

Example prompts

“/recurring-jobs”

Workflow steps

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

User asks for something recurring via the agent chat
Agent uses manage-jobs tool (action: "create") to write a job file at jobs/.md
A scheduler tick finds due jobs about once a minute. Long-running servers
Due jobs enter the shared background-automation runner, on the same
Job results are saved as chat threads

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1c2de07. 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
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

Recurring Jobs loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 529 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~47
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 529 words (~1,123 tokens).

“Recurring Jobs is the legacy name and API for scheduled automations. Jobs live as resource files under jobs/ with YAML frontmatter for scheduling metadata.”
