You are creating a reusable shortcut from the current session. Follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
## 1. Analyze the session
|
|
|
|
Review the session history to identify the core task the user performed or requested. Distill it into a single, repeatable objective.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Draft a prompt
|
|
|
|
The prompt will be used for future autonomous runs — it must be entirely self-contained. Future runs will NOT have access to this session, so never reference "the current conversation," "the above," or any ephemeral context.
|
|
|
|
Include in the description:
|
|
- A clear objective statement (what to accomplish)
|
|
- Specific steps to execute
|
|
- Any relevant file paths, URLs, repositories, or tool names
|
|
- Expected output or success criteria
|
|
- Any constraints or preferences the user expressed
|
|
|
|
Write the description in second-person imperative ("Check the inbox…", "Run the test suite…"). Keep it concise but complete enough that another Claude session could execute it cold.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Choose a taskName
|
|
|
|
Pick a short, descriptive name in kebab-case (e.g. "daily-inbox-summary", "weekly-dep-audit", "format-pr-description").
|
|
|
|
## 4. Determine scheduling
|
|
|
|
Decide whether the task is recurring or one-off:
|
|
- **Clearly one-off** (e.g. "refactor this function") → omit the cron expression.
|
|
- **Clearly recurring** (e.g. "check my inbox every morning") → include an appropriate cron expression.
|
|
- **Ambiguous** → propose a reasonable schedule and ask the user to confirm using AskUserQuestion before proceeding.
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT: Cron expressions run in the user's local machine timezone, NOT UTC.** Use local times directly in the cron expression. For example, if the user asks for "8am every Friday", use `0 8 * * 5` — do NOT convert to UTC.
|
|
|
|
Finally, call the "create_scheduled_task" tool. |
