About this skill

name: agent-cron-and-heartbeat description: Decide which recurring agent tasks belong on a schedule vs a signal-only heartbeat, then write the config. Use when working on agent cron and heartbeat scheduler.

Agent Cron and Heartbeat Scheduler

A running agent needs two very different scheduling shapes: cron jobs that always fire (weekly channel report, Monday planner refresh) and heartbeats that poll silently and only ping you when something matches (VIP email arrived, meeting starts in 2 hours). This skill takes your list of recurring jobs, sorts them into the right bucket, writes the prompt and the config file, and enables it. Use to turn a manual-only agent into one that works on its own without over-notifying.

What you get

  • Job classification table (cron vs heartbeat)
  • Cron prompt templates
  • heartbeat.md template
  • Notification-quieting rules
  • Enable/disable commands
  • Failure-escalation policy

Customize your output

  • Timezone: dropdown
  • Job list: free text
  • VIP contact list: comma
  • Notification channel: Telegram, Slack, iMessage, email
  • Polling frequency per heartbeat: 5m, 15m, 30m, hourly
  • Quiet hours: on, off with time range

Example output

'Wrote 2 cron jobs (weekly YT report Sun 08:00, monday planner Mon 06:30) and 3 heartbeats (vip inbox 15m, calendar 2hr 30m, deal slippage daily 17:00). All enabled. Notifications routing to Telegram @drew_bot.'

Best for

Operators who already have an agent but only trigger it manually.

Note: High confidence. Difference between useful automation and notification spam.
