Kairos 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
Supporting Files
- Prompt template: references/prompt-template.md
- Source notes: references/source-notes.md
- Helper script:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/job_spec.py ...
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
verification-gate
Run a read-only verification pass after implementation to check whether completion claims are real, validation actually ran, and obvious edge cases or regressions were missed.
dream-memory
Consolidate recent logs, sessions, and existing memory files into durable topic memories, normalize dates, prune stale entries, and keep MEMORY.md short enough for prompt use.
swarm-coordinator
Coordinate multiple agents by splitting work into research, synthesis, implementation, and verification, assigning ownership, and keeping the coordinator focused on integration rather than raw exploration.
memory-extractor
Extract durable memories from recent conversation turns into user, feedback, project, and reference categories while avoiding stale code-state facts.
structured-context-compressor
Compress a long agent conversation into a nine-part continuation summary that preserves request, files, errors, user messages, current work, and the next aligned step.
