What it does
Setup Routines is an agent skill from real-simple-labs/parker-brain. Arms the brand brain's standing routines (refresh-context, dream, harvest+evaluate ideas, research-loops, update-brain, self-improve) as scheduled cloud agents so they run on cadence without being asked. The job definitions already travel with this repo; this skill registers the schedules, which are per-account and can't be committed. The onboarding build runs it automatically at the stamp step (build mode, no questions); run it yourself after cloning the brain into a new Claude Code cloud instance, or any time…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
Example prompts
- “/setup-routines”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Confirm prerequisites (guided mode only) — timezone, connected MCP/web tools, and that the user wants all six (or a subset). Build mode…
- Register each routine via /schedule, one per row above: all six in build mode, and in guided mode only the ones the user picked in step 1…
- Verify — list the scheduled routines back to the user with their next-run times, and confirm each points at the right skill.
- Record — note in each ../schedules/[slug].md that the schedule is registered for this instance (status: active, plus who registered it and…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62c4f72. 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
Setup Routines loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 144 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,654 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 1,654 words (~2,840 tokens).
“The routine jobs (/refresh-context, /dream, /harvest-ideas, /evaluate-ideas, /research-loops, /update-brain, /self-improve) already travel with this repo and are live wherever the folder lands. What does not travel is the schedule — cron cloud agents are bound to an individual account and…”

How do I install Setup Routines in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add real-simple-labs/parker-brain --skill setup-routines -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/setup-routines in real-simple-labs/parker-brain) into .claude/skills/setup-routines in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Setup Routines in Codex?
Run `npx skills add real-simple-labs/parker-brain --skill setup-routines -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/setup-routines in real-simple-labs/parker-brain) into .agents/skills/setup-routines in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Setup Routines in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add real-simple-labs/parker-brain --skill setup-routines -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/setup-routines, .gemini/skills/setup-routines, .github/skills/setup-routines and .opencode/skills/setup-routines in your project.
What does Setup Routines need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Setup Routines is instructions for the agent only.
Does Setup Routines access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
