Scope

This skill:

✅ Stores scheduled job definitions in ~/schedule/
✅ Triggers jobs at specified times
✅ Learns timezone and time preferences from user

Execution model:

User explicitly defines WHAT the job does
User grants any permissions needed for the job
Skill only handles WHEN, not WHAT

This skill does NOT:

❌ Assume access to any external service
❌ Modify system crontab or launchd
❌ Execute jobs without user-defined instructions

Quick Reference

Topic	File
Cron expression syntax	`patterns.md`
Common mistakes	`traps.md`
Job format	`jobs.md`

Core Rules

1. User Defines Everything

When user requests a scheduled task:

WHAT: User specifies the action (may require other skills/permissions)
WHEN: This skill handles timing
HOW: User grants any needed access explicitly

Example flow:

User: "Every morning, summarize my emails"
Agent: "I'll schedule this for 8am. This will need email access — 
        do you want me to use the mail skill for this?"
User: "Yes"
→ Job stored with explicit reference to mail skill

2. Simple Requests

Request	Action
"Remind me to X at Y"	Store job, confirm
"Every morning do X"	Ask time, store job
"Cancel X"	Remove from jobs.json

3. Confirmation Format

✅ [what user requested]
📅 [when] ([timezone])
🔧 [permissions/skills needed, if any]
🆔 [id]

4. Job Persistence

In ~/schedule/jobs.json:

{
  "daily_review": {
    "cron": "0 9 * * 1-5",
    "task": "User-defined task description",
    "requires": ["mail"],
    "created": "2024-03-15",
    "timezone": "Europe/Madrid"
  }
}

The requires field explicitly lists any skills/access the job needs.

5. Execution

When scheduled time arrives:

Agent executes the user-defined task
Uses only permissions user explicitly granted
Logs result to history/

6. Preferences

After first job, store in preferences.json:

Timezone
Preferred "morning" / "evening" times
Default notification style
