  • Recurring jobs (daily

What it does

Scheduling is an agent skill from letta-ai/lettabot. Create scheduled tasks and one-off reminders. Use for recurring jobs (daily, weekly) or future reminders (in 5 minutes, tomorrow at 3pm).

Its SKILL.md is about 850 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. The repository describes itself as: Archived - has been replaced by Letta Code channels/schedules! The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Recurring jobs (daily
  • Future reminders (in 5 minutes
  • Tomorrow at 3pm)

Example prompts

  • “/scheduling”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99c3b5d. 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 and javascript).

    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

Scheduling loads about 852 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 214 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~852

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.

Scheduling

Schedule recurring tasks or one-off reminders.

Quick Reference

bash
lettabot-schedule list                    # List all jobs
lettabot-schedule create [options]        # Create job
lettabot-schedule delete ID               # Delete job
lettabot-schedule enable ID               # Enable job
lettabot-schedule disable ID              # Disable job

One-Off Reminders (--at)

For reminders at a specific future time, use --at with an ISO datetime.

Calculate the datetime in JavaScript:

javascript
// 5 minutes from now
new Date(Date.now() + 5*60*1000).toISOString()
// → "2026-01-28T20:15:00.000Z"

// 1 hour from now
new Date(Date.now() + 60*60*1000).toISOString()

// Tomorrow at 9am (approximate)
new Date(Date.now() + 24*60*60*1000).toISOString()

Create the reminder:

bash
lettabot-schedule create \
  --name "Standup" \
  --at "2026-01-28T20:15:00.000Z" \
  --message "Time for standup!"

One-off reminders auto-delete after running.

Options:

  • -n, --name - Job name (required)
  • -a, --at - ISO datetime for one-off reminder (e.g., "2026-01-28T20:15:00Z")
  • -m, --message - Message sent to you when job runs (required)
  • -d, --deliver - Where to send response (format: channel:chatId). Defaults to last messaged chat.

Recurring Schedules (--schedule)

For recurring tasks, use --schedule with a cron expression.

bash
lettabot-schedule create \
  --name "Morning Briefing" \
  --schedule "0 8 * * *" \
  --message "Good morning! What's on today's agenda?"

Options:

  • -n, --name - Job name (required)
  • -s, --schedule - Cron expression (required for recurring)
  • -m, --message - Message sent to you when job runs (required)
  • -d, --deliver - Where to send response (format: channel:chatId). Defaults to last messaged chat.
  • --disabled - Create disabled

lettabot-schedule create \
  -n "Break reminder" \
  --at "2026-01-28T20:45:00.000Z" \
  -m "Time for a break!"

Daily morning check-in:

bash
lettabot-schedule create \
  -n "Morning" \
  -s "0 8 * * *" \
  -m "Good morning! What's on today's agenda?"

Weekly review on Fridays:

bash
lettabot-schedule create \
  -n "Weekly Review" \
  -s "0 17 * * 5" \
  -m "Friday wrap-up: What did we accomplish?"

Message Format

When a scheduled job runs, you receive:

[cron:job-123abc Morning] Good morning! What's on today's agenda?
Current time: 1/27/2026, 8:00:00 AM (America/Los_Angeles)
