What it does

Repeat With Delay is an agent skill from rebornix/Agmente. Execute repeated shell commands as separate tool calls with a delay between each iteration. Use when a user asks to run something N times, wait between runs, increment a counter each cycle, and see each iteration result before the next run.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `scripts/run_repeat_with_delay.sh`).

It sits in Testing & QA. The repository describes itself as: iOS client for coding agents via ACP or Codex app-server. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A user asks to run something N times
  • Wait between runs
  • Increment a counter each cycle
  • See each iteration result before the next run

Example prompts

  • “/repeat-with-delay”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. If not on the final iteration and delay is greater than zero, run a separate sleep tool call
  2. Continue until iteration N is done. Do not batch iterations into one shell loop when the user wants per-iteration visibility.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 87f224e. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • 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

Repeat With Delay loads about 473 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 202 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~473

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Execute repeated shell commands as separate tool calls with a delay between each iteration. Use when a user asks to run something N times, wait between runs, increment a counter each cycle, and see each iteration result before the next run.

Repeat With Delay

Run one command at a time as individual tool calls so each iteration is visible in the transcript.

Required Execution Model

  1. Determine loop parameters from the request:
  • iterations (default 10)
  • delay-seconds (default 2)
  • start (default 1)
  • command (default echo "$LOOP_COUNTER")
  1. Execute iterations sequentially using separate tool calls:
  • For each iteration, run one command tool call.
  • Export the loop counter to that single call:
bash
LOOP_COUNTER=<value> bash -lc '<command using $LOOP_COUNTER>'
  • Show that tool call result before continuing.
  1. If not on the final iteration and delay is greater than zero, run a separate sleep tool call:
bash
sleep <delay-seconds>
  1. Continue until iteration N is done. Do not batch iterations into one shell loop when the user wants per-iteration visibility.

Example Mapping

For "run 10 times and delay for 2 seconds between each", execute:

  • 10 separate command tool calls (LOOP_COUNTER=1 to LOOP_COUNTER=10)
  • 9 separate sleep tool calls (sleep 2) between runs

For "echo a number starting at 1 and increment each time":

bash
LOOP_COUNTER=1 bash -lc 'echo "$LOOP_COUNTER"'
LOOP_COUNTER=2 bash -lc 'echo "$LOOP_COUNTER"'
...

Notes

  • Keep loop execution sequential; do not parallelize iterations unless explicitly requested.
  • Preserve command failures; if one iteration fails, stop and report the failing iteration.
  • Optional fallback script exists at scripts/run_repeat_with_delay.sh, but use it only if the user explicitly asks for one single wrapper command.
