Phase 4 of building a Claude Managed Agent — make it run without you. Turn a graded agent into a recurring scheduled deployment (POSIX-cron), an event-driven curl trigger, or confirmed on-demand use, then finalize the versioned roadmap. Use when the user says "run it every morning", "put it on a schedule", "nightly", "weekly", "automate this", "make it recurring", or when the orchestrator routes phase=run-without-you. deployment_builder.py builds the POST /v1/deployments payload (initial_events must include user.message; optionally nests a user.define_outcome so each firing self-grades); cron_validator.py validates the 5-field cron + IANA timezone and prints the wall-clock DST note; next_directions_writer.py writes NEXT-DIRECTIONS.md. No tool makes API calls — the deployment is created via BYOK curl. Distinct from grade-iterate (the in-session loop) and wrap-up (closeout).

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 3 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by alirezarezvani on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Run Without You AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills.git /tmp/claude-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-skills/agent-launcher/skills/run-without-you .claude/skills/run-without-you
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Run Without You in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Run Without You on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Run Without You is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Phase 4 — Run Without You (the recurring loop)

A scheduled deployment fires a fresh session on a cron cadence — the agent runs without you. Each firing can carry its own outcome, nesting the bounded grade→iterate loop inside every recurring run.

See ../../references/loops-and-workflows.md.

Choose the trigger

AnswerShapeTool
"every morning / weekly / nightly"recurring cron deploymentdeployment_builder.py + cron_validator.py
"when X happens"event-driven curl (documented, not scheduled)deployment_builder.py (message only)
"only when I ask"on-demand (no deployment)none — just re-send a user.message

Workflow (recurring)

  1. Validate the schedule. 
    bash
    python3 scripts/cron_validator.py --cron "0 9 * * *" --timezone Europe/Berlin
    Invalid cron/timezone → exit 1. Read the DST note: wall-clock semantics mean spring-forward times are skipped and fall-back times fire twice — avoid 02:00–03:00 in DST zones if exactly-once matters.
  2. Build the deployment payload. 
    bash
    python3 scripts/deployment_builder.py \
  --sheet ./my-agent/build-sheet.json --agent-id agent_123 --env-id env_456 \
  --nest-outcome --out ./my-agent/payloads/deployment.json
    --nest-outcome includes the rubric so each firing self-grades. The tool prints the BYOK curl to create it and to test it once with the manual run endpoint before trusting the schedule.
  3. Test before you trust. Fire one manual run, read the verdict, only then leave the cron in place. Pin the agent version in the deployment once it passes.
  4. Finalize the roadmap. 
    bash
    python3 scripts/next_directions_writer.py \
  --sheet ./my-agent/build-sheet.json --loop-shape cron-loop --last-verdict satisfied --out-dir ./my-agent
  5. Advance + hand to wrap-up. goal_state.py set --phase wrap-up, then invoke the wrap-up skill.

Hard rules

  • Test with a manual run first. Never commit a schedule you haven't fired once.
  • Safety rails on by default. always_ask MCP, limited networking where you can, read_only untrusted memory, max_iterations per firing, workspace spend limit. There is no spend cap inside CMA.
  • DST is wall-clock. Surface the note; pick safe times.
  • ≤1,000 deployments/org.

Forcing-question library (recommend + cite)

  1. "Cadence, event, or on-request?" Recommend: on-request v0 → cadence once graded. Cite: loops-and-workflows.md.
  2. "Should each firing self-grade?" Recommend: yes — nest the outcome. Cite: loops-and-workflows.md (nesting rule).
  3. "Which timezone, and is the time DST-safe?" Recommend: avoid 02:00–03:00 in DST zones. Cite: cma-primitives.md (wall-clock DST).
  4. "Did you fire one manual run first?" Recommend: always. Cite: this SKILL.

Tools

  • scripts/deployment_builder.py — POST /v1/deployments payload (+ test-run curl).
  • scripts/cron_validator.py — 5-field cron + IANA tz + DST note.
  • scripts/next_directions_writer.py — write/refresh NEXT-DIRECTIONS.md.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Why use Run Without You on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Run Without You is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Run Without You in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills/tree/main/agent-launcher/skills/run-without-you. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Run Without You?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Run Without You?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Run Without You with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Run Without You AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by alirezarezvani under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
