Skylv Smart Task Scheduler

Context-aware task scheduling with priority management

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

• Slug: skylv-context-aware-scheduler
• Version: 1.0.0
• Description: Context-aware task scheduler. Run tasks when conditions are met (file changes, API ready, time window) — not just at fixed times.
• Category: platform
• Trigger Keywords: scheduler, cron, schedule, trigger, automation, 定时, 条件触发

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" }
}

→ Runs every hour, but only if pending-publish.txt exists.

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" }
}

→ Checks every 5 minutes, but only executes when rate limit has reset.
