At a glance

A skill your agent uses when the user asks for durable or recurring background work, work that should survive peer death, retry/cancel/result tracking, spawned-on-demand workers, agent folders…

  • The user asks for durable
  • SKILL.md covers Daily email brief, One-time durable task and Wake-up reminder
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Recurring background work

What it does

Durable Jobs is an agent skill from prassanna-ravishankar/repowire. Use when the user asks for durable or recurring background work, work that should survive peer death, retry/cancel/result tracking, spawned-on-demand workers, agent folders, daily briefs, or deciding between repowire jobs and schedule.

Its SKILL.md is about 600 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 Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: May the agents talk . Connect Claude Code, Opencode, Codex, Pi across projects, across machines and with your telegram.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for durable
  • Recurring background work
  • Work that should survive peer death
  • Retry/cancel/result tracking

Example prompts

  • “/durable-jobs”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7c8100a. 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

Durable Jobs loads about 602 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 189 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~602

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 189 words (~602 tokens).

“Use repowire jobs when work needs durable lifecycle state, recovery after peer death, retry/cancel/result inspection, spawned-on-demand execution, or recurrence. Use schedule only for future ask/notify wakeups to an existing target.”
