Skylv Context Aware Scheduler

skylv-context-aware-scheduler

> Schedule tasks based on conditions, not just time. Run when a file changes, API rate limit resets, or time window opens.

Skill Metadata

What It Does

Unlike a regular cron that runs at fixed times, this scheduler runs tasks when conditions are met:

# Run tasks when triggers are due
node scheduler.js run tasks.json
Run all tasks immediately (ignore triggers)
node scheduler.js now tasks.json
Start daemon (checks every 30s)
node scheduler.js watch tasks.json
List all tasks
node scheduler.js list tasks.json

Example: ClawHub Auto-Publisher

{
  "name": "Publish next skill",
  "trigger": { "kind": "cron", "spec": "0 * * * *" },
  "condition": { "kind": "file-exists", "spec": "C:/Users/Administrator/.qclaw/pending-publish.txt" },
  "action": { "command": "clawhub publish . --slug skylv-x --version 1.0.0" }
}

Example: API Rate Limit Aware

{
  "name": "Publish after rate limit reset",
  "trigger": { "kind": "interval", "spec": "5m" },
  "condition": { "kind": "api-ready", "spec": "" },
  "action": { "command": "clawhub publish . --slug skylv-x --version 1.0.0" }
}

Trigger Kinds

| Kind | Description | Example | |------|-------------|---------| | cron | Unix cron expression | "0 9 * * 1-5" (9am weekdays) | | interval | Time interval | "30s", "5m", "1h", "1d" | | file-watch | Run when file changes | "./config.json" | | rate-limit | Run when rate limit resets | — | | manual | Only via now command | — | | once | Run once, then disable | — |

Condition Kinds

| Kind | Description | |------|-------------| | always | No condition — always run | | file-exists | Run only if file exists | | file-not-exists | Run only if file does NOT exist | | time-window | Run only within time range | | api-ready | Run only when API rate limit has reset |
