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.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by alsk1992 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Automation AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

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.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
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.

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/alsk1992/CloddsBot.git /tmp/CloddsBot
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/CloddsBot/src/skills/bundled/automation .claude/skills/automation

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Automation 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 Automation 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 Automation 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.

Automation - Cron Scheduler

Schedule recurring tasks using cron expressions with preset support.

Commands


/auto list                            - List all scheduled jobs
/auto cron <schedule> <command>       - Create a cron job
/auto remove <id>                     - Remove a job
/auto enable <id>                     - Enable a job
/auto disable <id>                    - Disable a job
/auto trigger <id>                    - Manually run a job
/auto presets                         - Show available schedule presets

Cron Expressions

Expression	Description
`* * * * *`	Every minute
`0 * * * *`	Every hour
`0 9 * * *`	Daily at 9am
`/15 * * *`	Every 15 minutes
`0 0 1 * *`	First of month

Presets

Instead of a cron expression, you can use a named preset:


/auto cron EVERY_MINUTE check-prices
/auto cron EVERY_5_MINUTES portfolio-sync
/auto cron EVERY_15_MINUTES scan-arbs
/auto cron HOURLY report
/auto cron DAILY_MIDNIGHT snapshot
/auto cron DAILY_9AM morning-scan
/auto cron WEEKLY_MONDAY_9AM weekly-report
/auto cron MONTHLY monthly-summary

Examples


/auto cron "*/5 * * * *" portfolio-sync
/auto cron HOURLY check-positions
/auto list
/auto trigger job-1234567890
/auto disable job-1234567890
/auto remove job-1234567890
/auto presets

Bundled files

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

Frequently asked questions

What does the Automation AI skill do?

Schedule cron jobs and automate recurring tasks

Why use Automation on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Automation 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 Automation in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/alsk1992/CloddsBot/tree/main/src/skills/bundled/automation. 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 Automation?

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 Automation?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Automation with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Automation AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by alsk1992 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.
