Implementing a recurring (cron-like) task in a TypeScript Golem agent by self-scheduling future invocations.

  • The user asks about periodic tasks
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Basic Pattern, Exponential Backoff and Cancellation, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Cron-like scheduling

What it does

Golem Recurring Task TS is an agent skill from golemcloud/golem. Implementing a recurring (cron-like) task in a TypeScript Golem agent by self-scheduling future invocations. Use when the user asks about periodic tasks, recurring jobs, cron-like scheduling, polling loops, heartbeats, or self-scheduling agents.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: Golem Cloud is the agent-native platform for building AI agents and distributed applications that never lose state, never duplicate work, and never require you to build…

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about periodic tasks
  • Cron-like scheduling
  • Self-scheduling agents

Example prompts

  • “/golem-recurring-task-ts”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2dea6b9. 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 (its code samples are typescript and bash).

    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

Golem Recurring Task TS loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 465 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 465 words (~1,793 tokens).

“A Golem agent can act as its own scheduler by scheduling one of its own methods to run again at the end of each invocation. This creates a durable, crash-resilient recurring task — if the agent restarts, the scheduled invocation…”
