# Routines Skill
Schedule agents to run on a cron schedule or one-shot at a specific time. Routines are YAML jobs that specify which agent runs, when, what task, and execution constraints.
## What a routine is
A YAML job with four parts:
- **Which agent** — claude, codex, gemini, cursor, opencode
- **When** — cron schedule (recurring) or specific time (one-shot)
- **What task** — the prompt for the agent
- **Execution constraints** — mode, effort, timeout
The background scheduler auto-starts the first time you add a routine.
## Quickstart: recurring (cron)
```bash
# Every weekday at 9 AM
agents routines add daily-standup \
--schedule "0 9 * * 1-5" \
--agent claude \
--prompt "Draft standup from git log"
```
Cron format is standard 5-field (minute hour day month weekday).
## Quickstart: one-shot
Runs once at a specific time, then disables itself.
```bash
# Tomorrow at 2:30 PM
agents routines add hotfix-review \
--at "14:30" \
--agent codex \
--prompt "Review hotfix PR #42"
# Exact date + time
agents routines add launch-check \
--at "2026-06-01 09:00" \
--agent claude \
--prompt "Run launch readiness audit"
```
## From a YAML file
For complex routines with multiple settings, author a YAML and reference its path.
```bash
agents routines add ./weekly-report.yml
```
Example `weekly-report.yml`:
```yaml
name: weekly-report
schedule: "0 17 * * 5"
agent: claude
mode: edit
effort: high
timeout: 1h
timezone: America/Los_Angeles
prompt: |
