What it does

Task Scheduling Guide is an agent skill from OtoDock/oto-dock. Parameter shapes and worked detail for the schedules-mcp tools — notification modes, cron and interval schedules, self-continuations, editing and reading back tasks, model pinning, trigger-only tasks, timezone rules. Load before creating or editing a scheduled task.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k 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 MCP servers. The repository describes itself as: The agentic company OS. The brains of your company, built on Claude Code and Codex, working on your Anthropic and OpenAI subscriptions.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Scheduled and recurring tasks
  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/task-scheduling-guide”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5308f5a. 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.

    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

Task Scheduling Guide loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,195 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.7k

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 2,195 words (~3,742 tokens).

“The task-scheduling card in your instructions carries the rules (when a task is right, scope, notification mode, timing, timezone). This guide is the reference behind them.”
