  • 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.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

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

Installation

Install the Agenticx Automation Crontask 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.
    https://github.com/DemonDamon/AgenticX/tree/main/agenticx/skills/agenticx-automation-crontask
  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.

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/DemonDamon/AgenticX.git /tmp/AgenticX
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/AgenticX/agenticx/skills/agenticx-automation-crontask .claude/skills/agenticx-automation-crontask
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Agenticx Automation Crontask 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 Agenticx Automation Crontask 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 Agenticx Automation Crontask 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.

AgenticX 定时任务(Crontask)

任务根目录(工程约定,与 Desktop / schedule_task 一致)

用户在自动化里是否填写「工作区」任务根目录
填写了用户给定目录(Desktop 会 mkdir)
留空~/.agenticx/crontask/<task_id>/(每个定时任务独占一个子目录,与 automation:<task_id> 对话一一对应)
  • Python venv:一律在任务根下 <任务根>/.venv,用 <任务根>/.venv/bin/pip / python;不要把定时任务专属依赖装到仓库 .venv 或任意路径,除非该路径就是用户指定的任务根。
  • 脚本、数据、日志、临时文件、辅助工具:全部放在任务根或其子目录内;不要在 ~/.agenticx/scripts、仓库根等散落(除非用户显式把其中某路径设为任务根)。

Meta-Agent:调用 schedule_task 之前(运行环境)

定时任务以后在 automation 专属会话里执行,不会在当时的 Near 对话里自动装包。在调用 schedule_task 之前应代用户准备好任务根下的环境:

  1. 先拿到 任务根:用户指定的 workspace,或创建任务后默认的 ~/.agenticx/crontask/<task_id>/(schedule_task 返回的 task_id 可用于路径)。
  2. 在任务根下 python3 -m venv .venv(若尚无),.venv/bin/pip install …。
  3. bash_exec 用 <任务根>/.venv/bin/python 试跑脚本,确认无 import 错误。
  4. instruction 里的命令必须与 同一解释器路径 一致。

默认工作区(摘要)

  • 未指定 workspace 时,Desktop 与 schedule_task 均写入 ~/.agenticx/crontask/<task_id> 并创建目录。
  • 删除任务时,UI 会二次确认是否同时删除该目录下的本地文件(仅针对上述 crontask 子目录,不随意删除用户任意路径)。

用 schedule_task 创建任务(对话 / Meta-Agent)

在 instruction(提示词)里写清:

  1. 何时跑:已在工具参数里用 frequency_type / time / days 表达;提示词内可再写一句业务语义(如「交易日 9:28」)便于人读。
  2. 怎么跑:必须要求 真实执行(如 bash_exec + python3),禁止「只给代码不运行」。
  3. 输出格式:给出严格版式(标题、字段、单位),并写明「最终回复只允许该版式,禁止工具 JSON」。
  4. 失败:简短错误(接口/库/网络),不超过若干行,不要教程、不要反问。
  5. 依赖:写明 pip install 包名;执行环境以本机为准。

可选参数 workspace:仅当用户明确要求固定目录时填写;否则留空使用默认 crontask 目录。

任务执行时(automation 会话)

会话 avatar_id 为 automation:<task_id> 时,后端会注入执行器系统提示,强调:

  • 先工具执行、再按用户版式输出;
  • 不在最终回复粘贴 schedule_task 等原始 JSON;
  • 失败简短说明。

编写或审阅提示词时,应与此行为一致。

验收清单

  • 提示词是否要求实际跑命令并得到数据?
  • 是否定义了唯一允许的输出模板?
  • 是否说明非交易日 / 无数据时的单行或短输出?
  • 是否需要默认 crontask 路径下的脚本文件(便于复跑与排障)?

Frequently asked questions

What does the Agenticx Automation Crontask AI skill do?

Build and maintain Near Desktop scheduled (cron) tasks — default workspace ~/.agenticx/crontask, schedule_task tool, execution contract, and user-facing output. Use when the user wants recurring automation, crontab-style jobs, or to author/fix automation task prompts.

Why use Agenticx Automation Crontask on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/DemonDamon/AgenticX/tree/main/agenticx/skills/agenticx-automation-crontask. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Agenticx Automation Crontask?

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 Agenticx Automation Crontask?

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

Is the Agenticx Automation Crontask AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by DemonDamon under the Apache-2.0 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.
