What it does
Symfony Scheduler is an agent skill from dev-toolings/superpowers-symfony. Schedule recurring tasks with the Symfony Scheduler component (native since 7.x); define schedules, triggers, and integrate with Messenger
Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `reference.md`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Scheduled and recurring tasks. It works with Symfony. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code plugin for Symfony 7.4 LTS & 8.x — 44 skills, 7 AI subagents & 13 commands for API Platform v4, Doctrine ORM 3, TDD (Pest/PHPUnit), Messenger, security & DDD. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Scheduled and recurring tasks
Example prompts
- “/symfony-scheduler”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit, Bash
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Install symfony/scheduler, then write the message and its #[AsMessageHandler] handler.
- Create a #[AsSchedule('default')] class implementing ScheduleProviderInterface and add RecurringMessage entries.
- Pick the trigger: every('5 minutes') or cron('0 /6 * *'), with an explicit timezone for cron.
- Add stateful($cache) and lock($lockFactory->createLock('scheduler')) on the Schedule for heavy tasks.
- Run it with messenger:consume scheduler_default under Supervisor, one process per schedule.
- Log with PreRunEvent and PostRunEvent, and test the provider through getRecurringMessages() and getNextRunDate().
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 459bcd0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGlobGrepWriteEditBash
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
Symfony Scheduler loads about 526 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 211 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit, Bash
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.

Symfony Scheduler (Symfony)
Use when
- Running recurring work (reports, cleanups, syncs) without system cron entries.
- Choosing between
RecurringMessage::every(),RecurringMessage::cron(), and a customTriggerInterface. - Splitting jobs into several named schedules with
#[AsSchedule]. - Preventing overlap or lost runs of heavy scheduled tasks.
Default workflow
- Install
symfony/scheduler, then write the message and its#[AsMessageHandler]handler. - Create a
#[AsSchedule('default')]class implementingScheduleProviderInterfaceand addRecurringMessageentries. - Pick the trigger:
every('5 minutes')orcron('0 */6 * * *'), with an explicit timezone for cron. - Add
stateful($cache)andlock($lockFactory->createLock('scheduler'))on theSchedulefor heavy tasks. - Run it with
messenger:consume scheduler_defaultunder Supervisor, one process per schedule. - Log with
PreRunEventandPostRunEvent, and test the provider throughgetRecurringMessages()andgetNextRunDate().
Guardrails
- Run a single consumer per schedule (
numprocs=1) and add a lock, or the same task fires twice. - Be explicit about timezones on every cron trigger.
- Scheduled handlers must be idempotent, since a run can be repeated.
- Use
--time-limitwith Supervisorautorestartso the long-lived worker recycles itself.
Progressive disclosure
- Use this file for execution posture and risk controls.
- Open references when deep implementation details are needed.
Output contract
- The schedule provider(s) with their triggers and timezone.
- The worker command and the Supervisor entry.
- The overlap policy (stateful, lock) and the monitoring hooks.
