What it does

Kandev Routines is an agent skill from kdlbs/kandev. Create, inspect, pause, resume, or delete recurring Office routines when work should run on a cron schedule or webhook trigger.

Its SKILL.md is about 490 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 and Webhooks. The repository describes itself as: AI Kanban & Development Environment. Orchestrate multiple agents, review changes, open PRs. Multi-provider, self-hostable, no telemetry. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Scheduled and recurring tasks
  • Tasks that involve Webhooks

Example prompts

  • “/kandev-routines”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dac20ec. 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 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

Kandev Routines loads about 493 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 178 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~493

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.

Routines — schedule recurring tasks

Routines fire on cron or webhook and create a fresh task each time, assigned to a specific agent. Use them when work needs to happen on a clock (daily standups, weekly reports, hourly health checks).

List existing routines

bash
$KANDEV_CLI kandev routines list

Create a daily standup routine

bash
$KANDEV_CLI kandev routines create \
  --name "Daily standup" \
  --task-title "What did each agent ship today?" \
  --task-description "Summarise yesterday's commits and PRs across the team. Post to #engineering." \
  --assignee A-ceo \
  --cron "0 9 * * MON-FRI" \
  --timezone "Europe/Lisbon"

This creates the routine and attaches a cron trigger in one command. The CLI does two API calls under the hood (routine + trigger); the response is the trigger row.

Pause, resume, delete

bash
$KANDEV_CLI kandev routines pause  --id R-1
$KANDEV_CLI kandev routines resume --id R-1
$KANDEV_CLI kandev routines delete --id R-1

Required inputs

  • --name — display name; users see this on the Routines page.
  • --task-title — title for every task this routine creates. Supports {{name}} and {{date}} placeholders.
  • --task-description — agent instructions for each fire.
  • --assignee — the agent ID that receives the task. For coordinator work, this is the CEO; for distributed checks, a worker or specialist.
  • --cron — standard 5-field cron expression.

When NOT to create a routine

  • One-off work — just tasks create directly.
  • A reaction to a specific event — use a workflow trigger or webhook channel, not a routine.
  • Something the CEO heartbeat already covers (e.g. checking for new comments — that's automatic).
