Manage Agentara scheduled tasks (cronjobs). An agent skill from MagicCube/agentara.

  • Works in 3 steps: Understand intent → Determine whether session_id is needed → Execute
  • The user wants to create
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Workflow, API Reference and Schedule field reference, plus 1 more section
  • Calls curl, jq and python3

What it does

Scheduled Tasks is an agent skill from MagicCube/agentara. Manage Agentara scheduled tasks (cronjobs). Use when the user wants to create, list, update, or delete recurring scheduled tasks — triggered by phrases like "add a cronjob", "schedule a task", "remind me to do something after 10 minutes", "list my scheduled tasks", "remove cronjob", "update the schedule", etc.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k 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: Your 24/7 personal assistant powered by Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. Multi-channel messaging, long-term memory, skills, task scheduling, session management, and more — all…

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to create
  • Delete recurring scheduled tasks — triggered by phrases like add a cronjob
  • Schedule a task
  • Remind me to do something after 10 minutes

Example prompts

  • “add a cronjob”
  • “schedule a task”
  • “remind me to do something after 10 minutes”
  • “/scheduled-tasks”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand intent
  2. Determine whether session_id is needed
  3. Execute

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5621a96. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • jq
    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Scheduled Tasks loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 684 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

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
