From the project READMEKairos Lite
Use this skill when you want proactive behavior, but not a full always-on autonomous platform.
Use It For
- scheduled repo patrols
- unattended follow-up checks
- short user-facing briefs after background work
- proactive jobs with expiry
Avoid It For
- unrestricted permanent daemons
- hidden background mutation without explicit user opt-in
- complex host-specific notification plumbing as an MVP
Quick Start
Create a portable proactive job spec:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/job_spec.py \
--name "daily-repo-check" \
--prompt "Summarize risky changes in the repo" \
--schedule "0 9 * * 1-5"
Then use the prompt in references/prompt-template.md.
Minimum Building Blocks
- sleep or wait
- a schedule or automation trigger
- a brief output channel
- expiry or renewal
